1. Compare and Contrast the Powers of International Organizations.
Give an
example for each power. (5 to 8 sentences only)
The powers of International Organizations are: they have the power of

classification; they have the ability to change the meaning of words; and they have
the power to diffuse the norms. They are all immense powers that the International
Organization can make use of and that possess the potential to do both tremendous
good and severe harm. The ability of an international organization to classify things
implies that they are able to establish categories as well as rigorous international
standards. The UN High Commissioner for Refugees is a prime example of this, and
as governments are compelled to welcome refugees when they cross their borders,
this power to establish identification has real-world implications. Meanwhile, having
the capacity to alter the meaning of words is comparable to the first power; reputable
sources of information like the International Organizations have an influence on a
range of policies due to the meaning they generate. For instance, the United Nations
recently claimed that security includes protection against both environmental harm
and military and violent aggression. Furthermore, the ability to distribute norms also
has the ability to build international standards via disseminating ideas. A well-known
instance is the circumstance where World Bank economists became recognized as
development specialists and wielded influence, enabling them to set standards for
the conception and execution of development initiatives.
2. What is the difference between Global International Organizations and

Regional International Organizations? (3 to 5 sentences only)
Nations from many continents and areas are represented in global

international organizations with a worldwide membership, such as the United Nations
(UN) and the World Trade Organization (WTO). They deal with issues like peace and
security, human rights, and international commerce regulation in order to offer a
framework for cooperation and governance on a worldwide scale. On the other hand,
countries from that region typically make up regional international organizations that
focus on a specific geographic region, such as the European Union (EU) and the
African Union (AU). They commonly address regional problems, such as cooperation
on security, economic integration, and political stability. Their primary objective is to
settle local issues and promote regional collaboration, while they may collaborate
with international organizations. In conclusion, the primary distinction between global
and regional organizations is in their geographic scope and goals, with global
organizations tackling global issues and regional organizations concentrating on
regional integration and difficulties.
3. Why was the United Nation established? (3 to 5 sentences only)
A comparable organization named the "League of Nation" operated prior to

the UN, however it was not powerful enough to avert World War II. The United
Nations was founded as a consequence of nations' insistence on forging a more
durable international league, out of fear that another world war might break out. The
United Nation's duty is to prevent armed wars from occurring and offer a forum for
diplomatic dialogue to end the issue without inflicting the loss of a million lives, and
also safeguarding world peace and security. Therefore, the primary key reason why
the United Nation was built is that it is a response to the devastating event of World
War II and prevent another crisis and lost of millions of lives. Emphasizing its
objective, the UN should be considered as a success because it has so far achieved
its primary goal.
4. What is the most powerful organ of U.N. and why is it considered to be the
most powerful?(3 to 5 sentences only)
The Security Council is considered as the United Nations' most powerful

organ. They have the Permanent 5 as a member and this council is in task in
determining whether a threat to the peace of an act of aggression exists.
Additionally, they are the ones that encourage the parties involved to resolve their
differences amicably and provide solutions or conditions of settlement. To preserve
or restore global peace and security, it may occasionally turn to enforcing sanctions
or even approving the use of force. Due to the authority they wield, governments that
want to use military force in another state must first gain the Security Council's
consent, and if the Council grants consent, a military intervention may then be
regarded as lawful and that is immense power.

authorized United Nations organs and specialized agencies, as well as to settle legal

the General Assembly and the other major organs of the organization. The
secretariat's bureaucracy functions in its position as a UN employee, not as a state

6. Why did the following regional international organizations be established?

(1 to 2 sentences per item)
*NATO
The need for a military defense among the nations from regional alliances led
to the emergence of NATO. Several Western European nations and the United
States came together to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) during
the Cold War in order to defend Europe from the Soviet Union.

7. What is cultural imperialism? (3 to 5 sentences only)

The notion of cultural imperialism is that one set of ideals and culture would
dominate over all others. Furthermore, similar to how states have invaded and ruled
other nations, one culture may either influence or dominate another. The imperialism
is sometimes known as "cultural colonialism.". This refers to the establishment and
upkeep of unfair connections among civilizations. This cultural imperialism also
encourages the homogenization of western consumer culture.
8. Is Globalization and Religion in conflict? Why? (3 to 5 sentences only)

Although nearly every religious movement makes use of religion to combat
"profane" globalization. Christianity and Islam see globalization as a chance to
increase their influence over the world rather than an imminent threat. Instead of
being seen as a "regressive" force that stops or slows down globalization, religion is
seen as a "pro-active force" that gives communities a strong and new basis for
identity. It is a tool that religious people may employ, although on their own terms, to
shape this globalizing world. This does not, however, mean that their conflicts with
globalist ideology will go away, because as some Muslims see globalization as a
Trojan horse hiding adherents of Western values like secularism, liberalism, or even
communism ready to spread these ideas in their areas and eventually dismiss them,
we can say that globalization and religion are in conflict depending on how they
perceive and view the globalization.
9. Do media and religion play significant roles in the spread of globalization? If

No, why? If yes, How? (3 to 5 sentences only)
Jack Lule defines media as "a means of conveying something, such as a
channel of communication," it plays a crucial role in the development of globalization.
The major method through which globalization spreads ideas and cultures around
the world is through the media. The media and globalization have an intricate
connection and are both very crucial in today's society. Meanwhile, religion plays a
crucial role in the spread of globalization, despite the fact that globalization has freed
communities from the constraints of national-states, it has also threatened to destroy
the cultural framework that binds them. Gladly, religion attempts to fill the void left by
these broken "traditional links" by either assisting communities in coping with their
new environment or organizing people to resist this fundamental change in their
lives, therefore, rather than being a "regressive force" that slows down globalization,
religion is a "pro-active force."
10. What makes globalization an integral part in spreading cultures in different

parts of the world? (3 to 5 sentences only)
Globalization is essential to the spread of cultures throughout the world
because of increased interconnectedness and the flow of information, ideas, and
people across borders. The media, international trade, travel, and communication
technology are a few of the factors that support cultural globalization. Global trade
and tourism expose people to a variety of traditions and civilizations, fostering
cultural exchange and dispersion. Additionally, the global dissemination of cultural
products like music, movies, and literature made possible by mass media and
internet platforms fosters a sense of community and shared cultural experiences.
This strategy encourages cultural diversity and understanding but also raises
questions about uniformity and cultural preservation.
