On 1st July, the results of the New York City Mayoral Democratic Party Primary were out. Whoever wins the democratic primary is likely to be the mayor of NYC. Zohran Mamdani has won the Democratic Party Primary. The City follows a ranked choice system where votes are transferred to a higher candidate until someone achieves at least 50% of the vote. Mamdani was leading in the first round before the transfer of votes. He defeated the long-time veteran of New York Politics, Andrew Cuomo, 56-44 in the second round. Hence, now Mamdani will head towards the final New York Mayoral election in November.  This article is not about him, his ideology or whether that will help New York City; rather, it is about how he managed to win the election and what both parties of the USA, as well as any political enthusiast, can learn from that.  Founded by the Dutch in 1624, New York City is the largest city in the USA and is the heart of Wall Street, the symbol of free market capitalism...

What Is It Like to Be a MUNner- An Experience Podcast

-

 Greetings to all listeners and readers!!

A MUN is not a mere non-academic activity happening in schools or colleges. It is a journey for many, while for others it's their life changer. Beyond the main MUN conference as such, there is a lot of things for a MUNner to take away from them and apply in one’s life. Here is an amazing surprise for all MUN enthusiasts. 

MUN has moved beyond the traditional space and has always been taken seriously as a passionate activity by many of the students. They are nicknamed as ‘MUNners’ in the circuits. MUN is a simulated model of the United Nations and converted into a form that students can understand and comprehend well. Since March 2020, with the raging pandemic, gatherings have been cancelled across the globe, so are MUNs. Online MUNs are now substituting the traditional ones. 

If you don't know what a MUN is, then please read. 

We present to you a podcast episode recorded and streamed in a joint collaboration between the MEC MUN Society and the Journal of Knowledge.

Image
Note:- This article is solely for the purpose of education and awareness.  Immigration has always remained a controversial political issue across the world in recent times, especially in the West. The 2024 US elections had the discussion of immigration as one of the central narratives. At its heart was the debate on Illegal immigration. This issue was successful in bringing down the Biden Administration so badly that even Democrats lost the popular vote and all the swing states.  The words Illegal immigrants and Undocumented immigrants were talked about extensively largely indicating that both are kind of the same.
