Final Position paper for Model UN 6th period

UNICEF
Afghanistan
Topic:Child Solders
Mitzi Soto

Honorable Chair today there has been presented a really important issue that has impacted everyone around the world. By people knowing it is not enough but there has to be an action put into place to stop all the unfairness.When the subject about War is brought violence, weapons, blood, losing love ones come into mind but the thought about children in war doesn’t cross our minds. Hundreds of children are force to be part of war all over the world without noticing. All the reason’s UNICEF was created for apply to today’s topic. In some situations the children are force to join into these violence actions in other cases they are ask to volunteer in exchange of food,clothing, and money for their families in need which not always is granted to them. In some situations the child solders are force to kill family or friends from them which leads to them having physiological and physical problems. These children’s lives are being destroyed through out the wars. Declarations have been made, signed and ratified but there is not action put into place to stop this.
Afghanistan has a hand full of problems on its back, there is the war going on, the al Qaeda and Taliban destroying the peace and there is also the child soldiers who might be the ones suffering the most. Afghanistan is suffering of lack in food, bad health care and a bad economy and is in the fight to stop the al Qaeda. The children are being use in militias, and at least 200 boys under the age of 18 are serving the Afghan National Police. Having a lack of food and money children have no other choice but to join to get these resources. Afghanistan has been punishing every individual that has children as soldiers and is still in the fight. The SAB training centre helps children that were former soldiers get out of the violence and helps them with educations and teaches them new skills that can help their family with the finances. Thousands of children each year participate in the SAB centre that has helped them start over in life with a brighter future ahead of them making them forget what has happen to them in the past.
Afghanistan would like to make more programs like the SAB centre to help reduce completely the amount of child soldiers in Afghanistan. There should be better surveillance on officers and policeman so less children get involve int this things things. The funds for these programs will come from The Children and Armed Conflict Unit, and the UNICEF. It will not be easy but with the help of other wealthy countries this can be accomplished. Donations would gladly be accepted from any country that would like to help out to end this problem to help this innocent children.

model UN Final Reflection 6th period

Model UN has thought me a lot this year at the beginning it was difficult but as time passed it became more simple and i enjoyed it. Model UN thought me how to communicate with others in a different way to be able to communicate with others. It is a way the world can connect and come together to talk about different issues around the world to come together with a solution that can help everyone without any violence being included in.

It thought me to be able  to come with an agreement with someone else that can benefit both or more people. It applies to life because it teaches me not to fight about something instead to come to a solution that is best , it will help with my family when we argue and with friends. I hope i be able to take this class next year it is away to learn about other cultures in the world.

Fad Diets & Eating Disorders

Fad Diets and Eating Disorders are in other words, risky weight-loss strategies. People seek every day for new products or strategies that can help them loose weight quickly and easy with less work. A lot of weight-loss strategies do not work for a long period of time, some end up giving you health problems.Fad dieting and eating disorders are two of the most dangerous ways to loose weight but not everyone knows about it.
My activity project will be making a poster. The poster will be for advocating against fad diets and eating disorders. The class will brainstorm ideas about why fad diets and eating disorders are harmful to the body and what are the effects of them.
Learning about Fad diets and eating disorders is very important because a lot of people do this things without knowing it’s harmful. These things are very unhealthy and dangerous, some can be deadly. It is way better living without harmful decisions in life
This activity is good because, it’s a group activity and it allows every one's ideas and thoughts be listen to and allows them to be counted. In this activity you will learn to advertise the consequences of fad diets and eating disorders. The posters done, will be placed around the school to allow others to see and learn about these issues.
Fad dieting and Eating Disorders have increased over the years and younger people are choosing to do these things, instead of having a healthy diet. They look at this as a simpler way and faster way to get the physical results they want not knowing it is bad.
I choose this topic because, people with this things are everywhere and others do not know about it. Athletes and dancers are two types of common people that often might have these bad habits.
Fad dieting and eating disorders are bad physically, mentally, and sometimes emotionally this needs to be an awarness.
