1. To maintain international peace and security, and to that end: to take effective collective measures for the prevention and removal of threats to the peace, and for the suppression of acts of aggression or other breaches of the peace, and to bring about by peaceful means, and in conformity with the principles of justice and internal law, adjustment or settlement of international disputes or situations which might lead to a breach of the peace;

By the end of the first world war, the international community founded the League of Nations, the first international security organization with the primary goal of maintaining world peace. The first world war saw drastic increases in mankind 's capacity to kill other human beings and cause insurmountable harm to human society and culture. The human condition was drastically different. With a new world war on the horizon, the international community had decided to band together to form a way in which it could help exercise the correct legal disposition and formality to positively influence the world. An international body was crucial after the first world war in order to maintain peace and order as the world picked up the pieces from their injustices. This was also true after the Second world war where the world saw, again, how the cruelties of humanity had to be prevented in order for the international body to prevent the forming of higher casualty rates and human suffering.
To maintain world peace, develop good relations between countries, promote cooperation in solving the world’s problems, and encourage a respect for human rights.
The United Nations is an intergovernmental organization that promotes international cooperation. The United Nations officially came into existence on October 24, 1945. The United Nations replaced the League of Nations, which had been created by the Treaty of Versailles in 1919. The name “‘United Nations”, coined by United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt was first used in the Declaration by United Nations of January 1942, during the second world war, when representatives of 26 nations pledged their Governments to continue fighting together against the axis powers” (History of the United Nations | United Nations). The Allied Powers agreed that a new organization was needed that would replace the League of Nations. American President Roosevelt,
Together with the Treaty of Versailles, the League of Nations was established, with the aims of “disarmament,; preventing war through collective security,; settling disputes
Paying college athletes is a very controversial subject. There are pro’s and con’s to both sides of the subject. In my unprofessional opinion I believe that college athletes should be paid. Coming from a student athlete I know how much hard work and dedication is required to be successful on the field/court wherever the sport is taken place, let alone in the classroom. In 2011-2012 the NCAA reported $876.1 million dollars in revenue. Basketball generated roughly $293 million, baseball generated roughly $419 thousand and football the rest. The University of Texas generated more than $93 million in 2011-2012.(“How Much Money Do College Sports Generate?” ) I believe the NCAA makes more than enough money to have a flat rate pay for each player
UN: United Nations. The UN is meant to have four purposes, to maintain peace and security among the world, make friendships with nations, solve international problems, and to promote human rights with respect.

In The Sun Also Rises and The Hours, Laura Brown and Jake are constantly battling the inner struggle of who they are versus who society deems they should be. Laura Brown, in The Hours, feels suffocated in her role as a mother and tries to convince herself she is happy, because she thinks that she should be. Jacob, in The Sun Also Rises, is a war vet, who feels that his impotency emasculates him and has a profound amount of insecurity rooted in this inability. Jake and Laura both use protective mechanisms of drinking and reading to mask deep rooted insecurities, but these mechanisms ultimately lead them to the unaddressed and hypercharged emotions they were seeking to avoid. Laura Brown feels an inescapable complexity in the dissatisfaction of her life and her inability to act instinctively, leading her to submerge in books as an escape from the reality of her overwhelming emotional struggle.
The United Nations is an organization established 24 October 1945. It was a replacement for the League of Nations. The UN was created following the Second World War to prevent another such conflict. The organization is financed by giving its member states a substantial fee.

Amongst other considerations, it confirms the importance of the Charter and sovereign equality. General Assembly Resolution 3314, defines aggression and calls upon members to refrain from aggression as well as other uses of force that would not be in compliance with the Charter.
