SHSMUN21 Newsletter November Issue Sagesse High School Model United Nations Issue #2, November 2020 SHSMUN NEWSLETTER Independence Day Content Independence Day Supporting Lebanese Brands Generations Interviews 2 Days observed during the month of November 5 Gandour: Online MUN 8 Gandour is one of the Middle East’s oldest food brands, MUN@Home 9 founded in 1857 in Lebanon. Today, it is among the most beloved candy manufacturers internationally! The company is famous for always promoting their Lebanese roots in their products, including the Tarboush and Dabke, which are prominent symbol of Lebanese traditions. The company started off by producing hard-boiled candies and marzipan but currently produces biscuits, cakes, chocolates, gum, snack, candies and more of your favorite confectioneries! Gandour’s products marked most of our childhoods in Lebanon. For who can remember a school day without a Unica bar? Or a family lunch without Tarboush as dessert? This brand’s success lives on all around the world and will continue to define Lebanon’s major symbols and pride. Regie Libanaise des Tabacs et Tombacs (RLTT) Regie Libanaise des Tabacs et Tombacs is the first Lebanese tobacco brand which cultivates and distributes tobacco all over Lebanon. Established in 1935, RLTT are leaders in the tobacco industry in the MENA region. The brand is widely respected and known for being the first public institution in the country that has developed a Sustainable Development Strategy. Both brands were founded before the Lebanese Independence Day and have remained successful throughout all the ups and downs! -Joy Nasr Sagesse High School Model United Nations Issue #2, November 2020 What does Independence Day mean to you? (Through the eyes of several generations) Generation 2000+ I think that Independence Day is the day where the French people left Lebanon after being in control of it for several years. Now, this makes our nation, Lebanon, a free country with its own government that can make its own decisions. This also has made our lives safer. -Sophie (2007) We celebrate Lebanese Independence Day on the 22nd of November. It is a day that represents Lebanon’s birth as a free nation. Independence day is when we can live freely, not controlled by social evils. -Nicholas (2005) Generation 1970s-1980s Mother: Hello, my name is Zeina. Lebanese Independence is very important. But right now, in these circumstances it doesn’t really mean anything, Lebanon is right now in a crisis that would probably take so long to be solved. Lebanon had gained its independence from France. France really helped Lebanon, for instance, by making Lebanon on the map bigger and wider. It had helped us gain the independence of our country. But this year 2020, it doesn’t really matter because almost all Lebanese people left their home and their country. When the French were here, independence really was very important and rich in a person’s heart, all the Lebanese people really felt that their country is strong and perfectly fine. This year I personally think that the Lebanese Independence Day is hidden. The country is facing many crises among a financial one. Lebanon is crashing to the ground. However, until everything Independence Day remains close to all Lebanese people’s hearts. Father: “Hi, my name is George. There is no independence for Lebanon this year on November 22nd, there is nothing. It is as if my country doesn’t have independence. France really is a close friend to Lebanon; it helped it a lot, most importantly by gaining independence. I feel like my country doesn’t have independence anymore. The country is gone because of everything that is happening in it. Independence to me is not really important or not very precious to my heart because I don’t feel like my home has freedom, no independence. Picture from Nayla Raad Everything has just disappeared in an instant, without even feeling that we really have to come to this fatal position. Therefore, the independence of Lebanon is not really going to happen this year. Lebanon will not grow again and stand again if we will stay in such a fatal circumstance. -Christelle 2 Sagesse High School Model United Nations Issue #2, November 2020 Generation 1930-1940 “Independence, this word has great meaning to me. It is our pride, our national dignity. Back in the old days, the 22nd of November was a very special day. Everybody would be waiting to watch the Independence military parade on TV. All jobs and schools would be closed. Everyone would be prepared ahead of time; houses were being decorated with the Lebanese flag… This was all to celebrate the Independence Day. As for the government, some of the Independence makers were still taking part in it. Also, every politician’s goal back then was to keep Lebanon safe and prosperous. That was why all the Lebanese citizens Picture by Nayla Raad had trust in their leaders and in the implementation of the laws. Everyone felt safe and protected. Also, the Lebanese army was cherished. We lived a golden era in Lebanon back in the 50s, we witnessed the construction of the Beirut Harbor and the Airport as well as the Casino du Liban and the EDL. I like to remember those days. It brings joy to my heart. I really hope that Lebanese people and leaders today are able to treasure their country like it used to be treasured. And if I had one wish in this world, it would be to bring back Lebanon in the 1950s, the beautiful peaceful Lebanon”. -Naim Sakr, Grandfather of Joya Mouannes My great grandmother’s name is Jeanne-D’arc Zard. She is 90 years old. My grandmother has been through Independence Day, therefore, I decided to interview her. “To be affiliated to your own country is very important. After all, it is what makes you a strong and loyal citizen. Independence Day is one of the most special days for me especially that I have been through it. It is a resemblance of the freedom for all the Lebanese people. All of the Lebanese citizens should be proud of their independence. After all, no matter what happens, we, the Lebanese citizens, make up Lebanon! We will always stand up for what is right and rebuild the nation that we are proud of! Independence Day is a reminder to all the Lebanese citizens that not only were we freed on November 22nd, 1943, but we were also freed as souls. It is our nation and we should protect our independence since it should be a part of our souls.” Picture by Nayla Raad - Sarah 3 Sagesse High School Model United Nations Issue #2, November 2020 United We Stay 4 Sagesse High School Model United Nations Issue #2, November 2020 World Day of Remembrance for Road Victims Road deaths and injuries are violent, traumatic, and sometimes unpredictable. In low-income countries, the road death rate is three times higher than the rate in high-income countries. The major risk factors for crash deaths are: the speeding, the drunk driving, and the negligence of seat belt. The World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims occurs on the third Sunday of November every year to remember the people injured and died from road crashes, to thank the emergency services, to remind the international community of their responsibilities to make roads safer, to support the victims and their families, and to promote actions to prevent further road deaths and injuries. The remembrance day activities include: Media campaigns, websites dedicated for the day, posters and fliers, advocacy messages, seminars, marches, moments of silence, etc.… Pellentesque: There are steps to do to stay safe on road: • Use a seat belt • Make sure Children are always buckled • Wear a helmet when riding motorcycles, motorbikes, or bicycles • Ride in taxis that have seat belts • Ride only in marked taxis • Avoid riding in overcrowded buses • Check the association for safe international road travel (ASIRT) website for driving hazards and road safety risks by country. • Do not text/use your phone Do not drive and drink • Pictures from Nayla Raad • Be alert when crossing the roads This year with the COVID -19 pandemic; this day will be remembered differently from previous years. Together, we can contribute for better future. –Anthony Badran 5 Sagesse High School Model United Nations Issue #2, November 2020 World Television Day Television is a telecommunication medium used to transmit moving images in monochrome, color, and even in two and three dimensions and sound. Some other uses of television are advertisement, entertainment, news, ad sports. The first electronic television was invented in 1927 by a 21-year-old named Philo Taylor Frantsworth. As a child, his life at home wasn’t quite the best as he didn’t live with electricity until he was 14. In high school, he started to think of a mechanism that would be able to capture moving images. Frantsworth was miles ahead any television system invented to date. National Television Day is held on November 21. The first ever celebration occurred in 1996, and the United Nations General Picture by Rosa-Maria Mazraani Assembly chose this day to raise awareness about how important television has become in terms of communication and globalization. Various people meet together to promote World Television Day including journalists, writers, bloggers who spread and share their views regarding the role of television through print media, broadcast media and also through social media. Television provides its audience with an abundance of information and culture faster and more efficiently than any other platform. Viewers could enjoy a simple documentary for example or catch up with the latest news on their favorite sports teams.

  • Corporate Social Responsibility in Lebanon
    LEBANESE TRANSPARENCY ASSOCI A TION Corporate Social Responsibility in Lebanon The Lebanese Transparency Association P.O. Box 05-005, Baabda , Lebanon Tel/Fax: 169-9-510590; 169-9515501 [email protected] www.transparency-lebanon.org The Lebanese Transparency Association PO Box 05 005 Baabda, Lebanon Telephone +169 9 510590 • Fax +169 9 515501 www.transparency-lebanon.org LEBANESE TRANSPARENCY ASSOCIATION Introduction Corporate social responsibility (CSR) at its best practice can be defined as the overall management process that accompanies all the efforts of an organization within the limits of a certain ethical conduct. CSR starts internally within the organization as a set of beliefs and values of all the human resource. In such a case the organization will naturally communicate those ethical values through: 1. Personal interaction level (Meetings, promotions, events, media gatherings) 2. Corporate communications (press releases, webpage, print communications, product labels, advertising campaigns, brand building strategies, corporate logo) In effect and as illustrated in Fig 1, these communicated beliefs will result in added trust towards the organizations’ overall image and will potentially increase business and sustain development in the long run. In the ideal case, CSR is conducted as part of and adapted to the business strategy and vision, which is normally defined by the top management. According to the St. Galler Management Concept (University of St. Gallen, Bleicher 1991), these principles should be realized by the strategical and operational management levels. The whole strategy is therefore conducted by the whole company and becomes a part of the company’s identity. To act socially responsible and to integrate CSR in a businesses’ strategy has eventually the aim of increasing sales revenues and achieving profits, as opposed to purely philanthropic actions.

  • Geo-Visualization Tools for Participatory Urban Planning the Case of Tripoli, Lebanon
    KARTOGRAPHISCHE BAUSTEINE BAND 35 DRESDEN 2007 Remarks on the cover The cover illustration combines two different types of imagery. The first one forms the background: it is a geocoded mosaic of three QuickBird scenes of Tripoli acquired on 26 January 2003, 8 April 2003 and 2 July 2003. This is overlaid by four photographs depicting typical scenes of the city centre of Tripoli. From East to West they display the following sites: waste on the both sides of the main river (Abu Ali River); street-vendors at the entrance to the old souk; daily traffic jam in the old city; disused houses in the old city waiting for a renovation since the end of the Civil War in 1990. i Note: More than one month after the beginning of the disastrous summer 2006 war in Lebanon I submit my thesis with the hope that it will be the last conflict in my country, the country which is known for its multicultural and multireligious structure. I hope that by the conclusion of my work Lebanon will have peace and peace for ever. Ich habe die vorliegende Dissertation etwas mehr als einen Monat nach dem katastrophalen Krieg im Sommer 2006 im Lebanon eingereicht. Ich hoffe, daß bis zur Fertigstellung des Drucks dieser Konflikt gelöst ist und endlich dauerhafter Frieden im Libanon einkehrt, dem Land, das für seine Multikulturalität und Multireligiosität bekannt ist.

  • The New Climate Economy Report. Chapter 3: Land Use
    LAND USE 1 www.newclimateeconomy.report Chapter 3 LAND USE LAND USE Main points • Rapid population growth, urbanisation, rising incomes, and resource constraints are putting enormous pressure on agriculture and forests, which are crucial to food security and livelihoods. Agriculture and land use change also account for 24% of global greenhouse gas emissions. These factors, together with attractive opportunities to boost investment in well-managed land use systems, make agriculture a top-priority sector for both economic and climate policy, particularly in developing countries. • Agricultural productivity needs to sharply increase to keep up with food demand. The Green Revolution boosted grain yields through widely applicable technological improvements, but many of the measures needed today are location-specific, addressing issues such as drought, pests, and salt resistance. Public funding of R&D needs to increase substantially; reducing input subsidies (mainly for fertiliser and water) would free up funds while reducing waste and negative environmental impacts. • Policy interventions are needed to enable and encourage smallholders to adopt new technologies and practices under more uncertain conditions. Measures to consider include targeted climate change adaptation finance, agricultural insurance schemes, and more secure property rights. Landscape-level (vs. farm-level) approaches are needed to maintain ecosystem services and overcome market failures. • Demand-side measures are also needed to reduce pressure on agricultural systems. On a caloric basis, a quarter of the world’s food is now lost or wasted between farm and fork. For example, food waste reduction measures in developed countries could save US$200 billion per year by 2030, and reduce emissions by at least 0.3 Gt of CO2e.
