Comment on the statement: “The whole is only as strong as the sum of its parts” and whether this statement is true for the United Nations.

One of the most beautiful quotes ever written: “The whole is only as strong as the sum of its parts.” This means that the whole can only work if each of its parts is working. It also means that if even one of the parts were to fail the whole thing would fail. This quote definitely relates to the United Nations. Because, for example, without the Security Council or General Assembly or the UNDP or the UNICEF, the UN wouldn’t be able to perform to its fullest. If even one of those parts were to not be there, the United Nations wouldn’t work. Another example would be that if the UN didn’t have even one of its present nations involved, it wouldn’t be an organization for the unification of nations. It would still be an organization, but it wouldn’t unify all the nations. This quote doesn’t only go for the UN, but for everything, even MKIS. For example, if there were no counselor, the school would be full of problems because there would be no one to go to, to get the problem solved. By following this quote, the world could be a much better place and at a much better state because everyone would cooperate to get work done and nobody would be left behind.
