Overall question: Why would a world organization set such lofty and possibly unattainable goals for itself?
To the matter
a) What are the goals of the UN?

b. What are the conditions needed for justice and respect
c. What are the equal rights?
d. What conditions stand in the way of promoting “Economic and Social development of all people?”

Closing Questions:
1. What do these issues that take place seemingly so far away from Durango have to do with us here?
2. Do we have a responsibility as individuals to try to help realize these goals?
3. Are the goals laid out in this document important to you? Why/why not?
