Nation

“We the people of the United Nations,” is the beginning of the UN preamble. First states, “Determined to save succeeding generations from war.” Secondly to, “reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights.” Third, to uphold international law. And fourth, “to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom.” The UN is a controversial topic that many people have different opinions about.

Since confederation, Canada has been a nation that is completely different to the rest of the world. Citizens embrace different cultures, religions and ethnicities as their own. When a civic nation is born there are always going to be discrepancies; not everyone is united under one idea. Therefore, loyalties begin to contend with each other which has resulted in the Canada we live in today. Separatists are amongst the majority. Quebec, The Maritimes, Cascadia, The West, all want to be independent

Karyn Hogu Analytical Paper IR 349 Section G1 The Birth of the League of Nations The Great War, now commonly referred to as World War One, ended on November 11th, 1918.

One position Zinn presents is that war is actually good for a nation. This isn’t something I had really ever considered before. I’ve always thought of war as a terrible divide in humanity; it has no good outcomes. Rather, it only causes pain, loss, and death. However, after reading some of Zinn’s ideas, I can see how war could possible help strengthen a nation. In chapter 12, Zinn ask, “…would not a foreign adventure deflect some of the rebellious energy…toward an external enemy? Would it not unite

confederation, there have been many movements to further build the nation as a whole to create an identity. The building of a nation is a process of a society where history, languages, cultures, traditions, and religions, come together as one to be a unified whole (Gounden, NATION – BUILDING). Many would argue that Canada’s attempts to nation building have been successful, while many would also argue that it has been unsuccessful. “Attempts at nation-building in Canada have been unsuccessful” is a valid statement

Despite obvious warning signs, the early to mid-1990’s was filled with two of the most horrific genocides in human history. Both genocides: the hutu and tutsi massacre in Rwanda, and the Bosnian genocide were done under the nose of the United Nations. The first saw the Hutu’s of Rwanda kill around eight hundred thousand Tutsi people and sympathizers in 1994. Just a year later, the second genocide of this decade occurred when Bosnian Serb forces attempted to gain territory in what is now Bosnia-Herzegovina

1948 created by the United Nations, was the first document that outlined human rights on much more global scale. The Virginia Declaration of Rights drawn up by George Mason, consisted of 16 sections, which described the rights of men and what they could do within the government. It stated that all power is vested within the people and that all men are naturally born free and equal. It also stated that the government has to protect the security of the people and nation. It separated the government

understand the goals of the United Nations I had to go back to the very beginning, to the foundation of the United Nations. The League of Nations was formed in 1920 and lasted until 1946 when it signed over its assets to the United Nations after countries began to leave. Countries quickly began to leave once they had realized the League could not make settlements where they did not have the power to do so causing dictators to abuse this power. In 1942, before the League of Nations failed, Franklin D. Roosevelt
