SHORT ESSAY:
Based on your study of world history, make an argument for the issue present in the world today that
should be the primary concern of the United Nations. Use specific historical examples of
international conflicts, violations of human rights, economic exchanges, technological developments
and innovations, etc. to support your claims. Make sure to explain why your primary concern
outweighs others and why this is an issue for the United Nations to address instead of individual
countries, governments, non-governmental organizations, or individuals (i.e. why is it something only
the UN can/should solve if it can be solved at all). Make specific connections between the past and
current events.
