Developing Nations Case Study

To what extent and in which ways has the United Nations been both a success and a failure? Is it still necessary in this day and age? Why or Why Not? The United Nations is an international organization, which was formed around 1945 following the Second World War with its main goal: to maintain peace and security. In the past, the UN had worked along countries to prevent conflicts and issues, to maintain peace and at times the UN successfully achieved its goal but sometimes it didn’t. When we flashback to the end of Cold War, international countries raise concerns about economic competition between developed countries, environmental degradation, population growth, the violation of human rights and political fragmentation/wars. Hence, UN was
The reason for why governments play a bigger role in developing countries is because of how they handle conflicts of the citizens. Developed countries compared to developing countries, people in rural areas lack of access to health care, education, food and shelter, hence, the role of the government is more important in this situation. However, there are responsibilities that both government and citizens should have in a country. For example, securing the citizens’ well being should be the government’s utmost priority and it’s the citizens’ responsibility to respect the government to some extent. For example, they should respect the rules and regulations of the country, such as paying taxes regularly. However, the relationship between the government and the citizens starts to fall apart when both parties don’t agree on same thing. For example, during the Syria Civil War, President Bashar al-Assad responded to this conflict by harming the citizens since it was more like a war between the government and the citizens. There was a huge raise in the number of death tolls, injured people and refugees. This proved that sometimes governments take advantage of their power without thinking about the consequences of overusing their
Hence, riots and protests occur causing more chaos in the country. However, its important to keep in mind that if citizens were to obtain education, to be on track about how the new government is like, to know what is wrong and right, the country wouldn’t be this chaotic. In the previous passage, it’s stated that government is responsible for the citizens’ well being. Another main reason why the government and the citizens tend to hate each other’s guts is because of WAR. When a foreign country comes in a country’s border, this violates the country’s sovereignty and also the people’s freedom of privacy. That is why the government’s role should be a defender of the country from international aggression by providing shelter and healthcare if there was to be war in the country. In my perspective, I feel that the government plays a bigger role than the people because it is the powerhouse of the country since the authority make big decisions, especially when it comes to the economy of the country. For example in trade, the government gets to decide who gets the bigger portion of the money, which cause a lot of tension between the people and the government. When there’s no fair and square share in economy, people start to eat less, which leads to starvation and even death. We can see that the government has the most power in the country but it is how make
