Politics

Today's speaker talked about Japanese politics. We also heard about the USA, Ghana and India's governments. International relations (IR) is also important to understand how a government approaches living with the rest of the world.
For your homework, I want you to answer these questions:
The United Nations (UN) is the key organization to promote and maintain world peace between governments. For homework, research the UN in the library or on the Internet http://www.unic.or.jp/ . If you were working for the UN, which job would like to do using your English abilities? Why?
