Madison High School has a new club called model UN run by Mr. Gilligan. Model UN is a club where students have the chance to learn more about politics and have the chance to debate about them in conferences with other schools. The club was created at the beginning of the school year and doesn’t have too many members due to no one at the school really knowing about it, and it being so new to the school. Model Un is a great club to join that allows you to learn more about the political world around you, and allows you to listen to other people's thoughts and ideals. Model Un helps students learn proper ways to have discussions about politics in an appropriate manner. Model UN is also a great way to meet people at other schools, and get new ideas from them. In Model UN students each get a position representing a country in the United Nations and debate topics while solving different crisis the country is going through. Group member Macayla Childs comments on Model Un, “It’s super fun, at our last conference China and the US almost went into nuclear war and China took Danny Devito as a prisoner of war”. Model Un is described as being very fun, while being educational and allows people to open up their minds to new ideals, and beliefs they wouldn’t have thought of on their own. Model Un also helps people see from new perspectives, and understand why different countries think the way they do. For more information on Model UN talk to the teacher Mr. GIlligan, and think about joining the club!
