Question 7.
Read the given text, understand and interpret it :

While the UN has been doing commendable work in the area of education, health, cultural exchange and protection of heritage, it has been less successful in preventing wars. It has often been held hostage to the ambitions of the super-powers who seek control over the world.

Answer:
The summary of the given paragraph is that United Nations has been doing better service in socio¬cultural areas but it is not so successful in preventing wars. The super-powers control the UN and they lead to wars. Hence UN is not doing anything successfully to prevent wars.

United Nations Organisation was established on 24th October 1945. Its headquarter is at New York. It was formed with the intention of preventing wars and maintaining peace everywhere.

The United Nations has some international agencies to work for the betterment of education, health and protection of heritage – UNDP and World Health Organisation are working in this regard. Many countries in the world are not providing sufficient medical care. So UN contributes a lot. At the time of natural calamities, UN agencies come forward and give a helping hand to the victims. They send food and commodities. The agencies are concentrating on vaccinations to prevent various types of diseases. They provide medicines also. Literacy improvement programmes are also taken up.

The real aim of United Nations is to prevent wars and maintain peace all over the world. To discharge this duty, United Nations needs its own army but it has multinational force. This force is provided by many of the nations which follow imperialistic way of living. The super-powers like America and Russia develop enmity among nations and try to improve their polarisation. After the Second World War, the world was divided into two poles. The countries which came forward to form the United Nations are not fully cooperating in bringing peace.

In conclusion, I say that the United Nations is not doing its duty well. I agree with the content of the paragraph given. As a social organization the united Nations is working well. Social, economical, cultural development will be collapsed if wars are not prevented. The super-powers should allow the United Nations to work on its own. They shouldn’t intervene. The super-powers should maintain peace. They shouldn’t try to suppress or oppress any of the country. Peace can be main. tained only shouldn’t try to suppress or oppress any of the country. Peace can be maintained only if every country try to follow it.
