Model United Nations, also known as听Model UN听or听MUN, is an educational听simulation听and/or academic competition in which students can learn about听diplomacy,听international relations, and the听United Nations. MUN involves and teaches听researching,听public speaking,听debating, and writing skills, in addition to听critical thinking, teamwork, and leadership abilities.
Participants in Model UN conferences, known as delegates, are placed in committees and assigned countries, or occasionally other organizations or political figures, where they represent members of that body. They are presented with their assignments in advance, along with a topic or topics that their committee will discuss. Delegates conduct research before conferences and formulate positions that they will then debate with their fellow delegates in the committee, staying true to the actual position of the member they represent.
The National Honor Society (NHS) and National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) are premier organizations established to recognize outstanding high school students. More than just an honor roll, NHS serves to recognize those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of scholarship, leadership, service, and character. These characteristics have been associated with membership in the organization since its beginning in 1921.
Four main purposes have guided chapters of NHS from the beginning:
1. to create enthusiasm for scholarship
2. to stimulate a desire to render service
3. to promote leadership
4. to develop character in the students of secondary schools
Today, it is estimated that more than one million students participate in NHS activities. NHS chapters are found in all 50 USA states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, many U.S. territories, and Canada. They can also be found in areas of Asia; Pakistan has three schools maintaining an active chapter. They further can be found in international and American schools throughout the globe. Chapter membership not only recognizes students for their accomplishments, but challenges them to develop further through active involvement in school activities and community service
The NHS motto is听noblesse oblige.听This is French for 鈥渘obility obligates鈥�. Translated this means:
鈥� Whoever claims to be noble must conduct himself nobly.
鈥� (Figuratively) One must act in a fashion that conforms with one鈥檚 position, and with the reputation that one has earned.
The national minimum standard for membership shall be a cumulative scholastic average of at least 85 percent, B, or 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) or the equivalent standard of excellence. Candidates shall then be evaluated on the basis of service, leadership, and character.
