When Light meets Light there is Victory
This blog will save my memory with MANNAM.
As one of MANNAM members (MANNAMERs), I will post about my life with MANNAM.
As the situation (in Korea) is gettting worse, people started to focus on the reaction of the UN.
Many people would know about the UN for several ways. Today, I want to talk about the head of the UN, Ban Ki-moon.
BAN KI MOON
Ban
Ki-moon is the 8th and current Secretary General of United Nations. He
was born in a small farming village in South Korea, in June 1944. When he was
in high school, he won essay contest sponsored by the Red Cross, and he’s got a
chance to go to America and met U.S. President John F. Kennedy. That meeting
made him to decide to become a diplomat. He entered the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs in 1970 and become the foreign minister in 2004. And finally in 2006 he
was elected as a 8th Secretary General of UN. His main works are in climate
change, nuclear nonproliferation, 8 Millennium Development goals. He is not
that active politic person like Kofi Annan. But he was evaluated that he dealt
with sensitive issues well among strong countries. Naturally, he was reelected
as a UN Secretary General.
(When I was young, my dream was to become the first Korean UN
Secretary General. But when I was middle school student, he (Ban Ki-moon)
became the first Korean UN Secretary General, and I had to give up my dream. ;’(
)
Anyway, I’m very proud of him as a Korean. Of course there are some
points that he is criticized at but in my opinion, he is doing very well. As
the world becomes smaller, there are more and more complicated and sensitive problems
among the countries. People need specific organization to deal with those
problems and UN is made. The lists that UN has to deal with are really long
these days. From the war prevention to nature disaster prevention, every world
is connected with each other complicatedly and naturally the role of UN as an
intermediary is getting bigger. UN is an international organization and many
people followed the direction of UN.
The thing that I hope is that MANNAM
becomes like the UN. Concerning about peace, I hope MANNAM becomes the most
effective association because MANNAM is non political association. Purely, MANNAM
acts for the world peace. It is not related any profit of specific country.
I hope many people are interested in world peace without any cost.
The cost of world peace is world peace itself. Don’t you think soJ?
