Total: 20/30 your planning was pretty good, but once you got to writing the actual paper, you had a bit
of a difficult time in places. Although your organization was fine, your analyses and communication of
what the sources were saying was often murky.

5.
Analyze the source….what do you see, or what is the author basically saying?
I see a bird with its head in the ground and one leaf beside him, and then in the distance you see the black

In current events we see the decisions of the U.N. Councils. How such a little thing can make such a big
compact to the world and vice versa.
Paragraph Five – Relationships
1. Outline the similarities and differences between Source 1 and 2
Source 1. Positive help of the U.N. and Their Councils and the helps in the developing countries. Source 2.
Negative impact of one country, how they blackmailed the U.N. pretty much. Similarities are they both
involved the UN’s situations.
2. Outline the similarities and differences between Source 2 and 3
Source 2 and 3 are both negative compounds, they both had bad end results. Source 2 and Maybe Source
3 shows dictatorships.
3. Outline the similarities and differences between Source 1 and 3
They could be looked at as similar because, of the way you might interpret the picture. Source 1 is a clear
vision of what they did right so it was possible to keep the “long-term humanitarian and developmental
assistance. “
Paragraph six – Conclusion
1. Outline the various perspectives given by the sources
2. Which source(s) do you support the most and explain why. Be specific in your response.
I support source 1 the most, because even though the U.N. hasn’t been able to carry a lot of good end
results this was a good situation in the end. They where able to accomplish this when they stuck to it and
were able to receive help to keep it going.
United Nations Unit 3 Essay
There seems to be a contradictory towards (contradiction between) the failures and success
toward (of) the U.N. In the past, look into both failures and successful things the U.N. accomplished.
Some people feel that the U.N. is successful because of the previous help they have been able to do for
a country, also their positive envisions (?). Others feel the negativity of the United Nations because
some failures have weakened the countries the U.N, so called help.
The UNICEF is a Children’s fund, which helps give hope to children who don’t have the certain
necessities of life. We read of the longing help of the United Nations in order to make the UNICEF a
better organization. This became successful in the books of the U.N. We read of the need to help keep
the awareness going in these situations the children face. “Its name was shortened from the original
United Nations International Children’s emergency fund, but is still popular for the old acronym.” In
history there has been “absolute poverty,” a problem for the less fortunate countries where events such
as WWI and WWII influenced the children in their learning. (This) Institution gives hope because of the
services they need/ are ready to provide (so it has been a success?).
Source 2; gave me a feeling of being cheated. The author says that members in the U.N were
accused of complicity, which produced the biggest scandal in the U.N. history. This was one of many
failures of the U.N. “Humanitarian aid for/ to the iraqi people.” The persecutor is showing that
dictatorship between stealing and buying illegal payments from companies that where security buying
Iraqi’s oil, under the U.N’s noses. This proves how cheap Sadden Hussein was and the controlling power
he had over his “people.” “Manipulated by Saddam Hussein,” he was the last known dictator in the
world; he is now in the US’s power and protection. By National Interest, it has helped the security and
safety of the people in Iraq. (this paragraph just didn’t make much sense. And, Hussein is now dead)
Many people who look at pictures have their own opinion. In Source 3, there is a picture of a
bird with its head in the ground, then the distance you see clouds of black smoke. I believe the author is
talking about the cleaning power of the U.N, and how it has not been able to help anything or anyone in
the long wrong (run); isn’t helping the environment and the things surrounding the world. Organisms on
earth, shows the power of something so small impacted by the world so largely. Compared to this bird
trying to get away from the background in current events we see the decisions of the United Nations
Council, how all their decisions impact the world either big or small (so this is a failure?).
Between Source 1 and Source 2 the similarities are they have both involved the U.N. And
differences are Source one is a positive help of the U.N. and their councils and the help it plays in
developing countries. Source 2 has a negative impact on the Country (world?), how they black mailed
the country. In Source 2 and 3 similarities are; they had negative components, and bad end results that
where later resolved. Differences; Source 2 is a dictatorship, Source 1 is something scared. When you
look between Source 1 and 3; they had a clear version of what they did right, helping in humantarisim.
The difference is the way its interrupted.
I support Source 1 the most, because even though the UN has not been able to carry a lot of
good end results this was a good situation that also ended on a good term (it is still ongoing). They were
able to accomplish this when they stuck to it and where able to receive it to help going. Each Perspective
gives us a different interpretation that’s all up to you.
