The United Nations By: Corrie Fiss
Purpose of the UN • The purpose of the UN is to maintain international peace and security through: • Conflict resolution • Protecting human rights • Fostering stability by encouraging social, political and economic development • Providing humanitarian assistance
What I wanted to accomplish • I built this site because I wanted to showcase how the UN is a critical component in International Relations • It provides a neutral forum that has the potential to solve a multitude of global issues, such as pandemics and global warming
Contents of my Site • I created a website that provides the basic goals the UN • I found and modified a Java Applet that explains the basic structure of the UN • I created a spreadsheet in Excel that list all 192 member states and their contributions to the UN budget • In addition, I created a pie chart that shows each member states proportional contribution • Finally, I searched for YouTube videos that show the work of the UN in action
Difficulties • Java Applet • Difficult finding, installing, and modifying the applet • Managing my time • Narrowing my subject
