For John Mureithi Only

Each topic must contain a "global issue" at its core.

As special advisor to the US Ambassador to UN, your main focus is, of course, the impact such policies hold for the future of US global power/influence.  Yet, the power can be harnessed for good or bad.  Your chance here is to suggest ideas that can make the world a more positive, more egalitarian, more harmonious place for all of us to share.  

Each topic must also contain a technological component.  So, regardless of the "global issue," you must offer at least something technologically-focused as one of your ideas.  Think of how technology is either helping the problem or making it worse.  

Each topic begins with "Globalization."  So, in the following list, "Globalization AND..."

Each of these topics is a BROAD area.  It is up to you to narrow it in on something manageable - you are making THREE RECOMMENDATIONS TO

AMBASSADOR HALEY.  

When writing your policy paper, you will take into consideration both the "positives" and "negatives" of each policy as they relate to US interests.  If you notice, this is part of the problem!!! The nation-state model requires each country to put their own interests ahead of the global community...
