The UN is a group of nations created after WWII. They are dedicated to world peace. Well, that's why they were made. These are the kind of people that enforce a no-fly zone.
The video said that the UN was created to maintain world peace. They have military power, along with being the largest international group in the world. They can enforce no-fly zones and sanctions. This gives them massive power.
I think that the UN is a vital part of our world. Finally the world's leader get together and try to solve the problems our race has created. The UN is so huge that it can destroy almost any terrestrial enemy. So yes, I think that the UN is important.

BP1 QTR3 Chrisholm
This blog post will discuss a speech of Chrisholm. She gave this speech to congress. I will talk about Qs 1 and 4, noting my opinions and the facts on the matters. This speech was given in 1969.
As for #1, I think that there is still sexism today. We will always be biased, and I admit to sometimes being biased myself. However, I also believe that some women might be sexist to men having jobs like a secretary or a teacher. And as for #4, I noted that women were considered odd or unruly if they tried to expand. Another thing I noticed was that they also had less education options.
In conclusion, Chrisholm touched on some very important points in her speech. Some of them still apply today. Some do not. But it is mostly is a matter of opinion-as is most things on this topic.

BP4 QTR3: President's day
I believe that the holiday should be named presidents' day. It has always been called presidents' day and I don't see why it should be changed now. Calling it Washington's birthday rules out Lincoln, who is a man worthy of notice. Finally, calling it Washington's b-day sound extremely informal.
which gives to bigotry no sanction is a quote from over much-loved president Washington. I say that he wouldn't mind sharing a holiday with another president. Especially one that ensured his mission remained true. But I guess we'll never know.
Pious, just, humane, temperate, and sincere; uniform, dignified is a quote describing washington. however, i'm sure that lincoln was also all of these things. My biggest problem is that we aren't recognizing licoln when we say georgie's birthday.
In conclusion, I think that it is fair that we give both presidents credit on prez's day. If we called it g.w.'s b-day then it would be disrespectful to lincoln. So i think that our current name is a happy medium. But my opinion dosen't really matter now, does it?
