Reflections on the UN

I agree with the notion that the UN, despite its flaws, is our best hope for world peace long term - so we need to work together on the flaws to help it function better and continue to promote peaceful relations, human rights, etc. around the world.

The article below about Trump is very sad... We can’t reject globalism - the world is already too far into globalization and its effects. And for other countries to return to patriotism, like he is suggesting we do, would only fuel fires of difference instead of solidarity. We’re all human beings. Let’s try to get along...

I just discovered the United Nations Association of Centre County. The UN Association of America exists to educate Americans about the mission of the UN and promote world peace by trying to maintain and increase the existence of the UN’s work in the world. I’m excited to learn more about this local chapter!

Considering I would like to do work for UNESCO and the U.N. in the future, I will likely get involved in the work of this local organization. :)
