Medium he/they Posted February 13, 2022 Report Share Posted February 13, 2022 Today I spent 8 and a half hours at a Model United Nations (MUN) conference. I was a page (A person who passes notes between delegates), and got to listen to the "US senate" discuss what to do. My simulative group was Historical Crises, and we were doing the attacks on 9/11, and the retaliation after said attacks. We had 13 senators, split among the Democratic and Republican parties, and they debated over 3 resolutions for what to do. We diverted 50 billion dollars into military R&D for retaliation, and did some lengthy discussions on ethics and strategy. We passed 2 resolutions into law, and dismissed another. Near the end of the conference, we were informed that 3 of the senators in the room had ordered our troops to bomb other locations of our troops. The senators in question were immediately put on trial, and expelled from the Senate. The senators were 2 Democrats, and a Republican. It was handled in a humorous manner, as this was all fake. The 2 democrats were exiled from the country, and the republican was given (oddly enough) the Congressional Medal of Honor. So yeah. MUN is awesome and hilarious, and I'm totally doing it again. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argenti he/him Posted November 15, 2023 Report Share Posted November 15, 2023 I'm In Mun, GA's suck (Endless speeches and nothing happens). You're just lucky you did a crisis sim, they're soooo much better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
