How effective are United Nations' sanctions against member States?
The UN has the Security Council, which can impose sanctions to on nations which did not follow the role of the international society. These sanctions are mainly economic factors such as the embargo of some products and military sanctions cannot be included. Letβs see how effective they are by showing the example of North Korea.
North Korea is developing nuclear weapons and conducting aggressive military drills such as lunching launching missiles into the sea. The UN is strongly condemning North Korea for such actions and imposing economic sanctions. The economy of North Korea has been seriously damaged by the sanctions, but it is still continuing both development of nuclear weapons and lunching launching missiles. Economic damage is firstly reflected in the people in of the nation. Dictatorship nations like North Korea do not think the poorness poverty of its people matters unless they are motivated to rebel against the nation. So far, the security of North Korea is at least not in danger because of the success of their propaganda and its strict role. So, the sanctions against North Korea is are not effective.
There is a limitation limit of to the effect of imposing only economic sanctions. However, needless to say, military sanctions cannot be included but are the most effective depending on the situations. We have had this dilemma since the League of Nations. We must work on the sanctions more than economic but less than military.0 votedOctober 29, 20161My favourite sport (please correct me if you can)
My favourite sport is soccer, i just love it, i watch every important game on t.v, and i like to see my team winning. I'm a fan of Universidad Catolica Football Club, I can't remember when i choose chose to be a fan of that team, i was 5 year years old or less, i'm not sure. When i have a game to play and i feel bad or nervous, i just need to stand on the field and suddenly my whole system feels already fine, it's a funny thing but i always feel better playing soccer. In At christmas my dad always gave us a soccer ball, he knew that me myself and my brother would be very happy with that gift.Note: Always use a capital I when talking about yourself rather than a small i
eg: I always feel better - not i always feel better

It is thought by some people that tourism can adversely affect regional culture and should not be permitted in some regions in order to protect the unique lifestyle of indigenous people. Their opponents argue that this would not be a reasonable solution and transformation of their culture is unavoidable. There are arguments on the both sides, which we will discuss here.
Those who support banning tourism in order to preserve regional culture point to the transformation of lifestyle of the locals. The massive influx of tourists can force the indigenous to question their way of living, traditions, often choosing in favour of the foreign ones. This can endanger a unique culture, which may not handle competition and might be changed irrevocably.
On the other hand, the opponents believe that the main drivers of cultural changes are global trade, raising standards of living in developing countries. Many people abandon their traditional way of living, leaving their tribes, changing food, clothing preferences when getting involved in [into] global business one way or another. They are required to comply with the rules and customs of the globalized world and place for their traditions is getting reduced to the privacy of their own [home] homes.
I tend to think that even without tourism we are observing the sad trend where cultures of different nations are getting less distinct and many of them [has] have already been swept away by cultural unification. Therefore, I believe the attempts to limit the interaction between tourists and ??? to be quite futile.
Overall, the main danger to a small culture is not tourism itself, which is just one of many fields of business, but globalization. Therefore, it does not make any sense to ban tourism anywhere.0 votedOctober 26, 20161
