| Choosing a resolution topic |
This is a tricky thing. You've already picked a country, and so you have to choose a topic to write your resolution on. Here are some things to keep in mind as you're choosing a topic.
- Choose a worldwide topic.
Unless you're requesting immediate aid in the wake of a disaster, personalized solutions (ie. solutions only applicable to one country) are not the point of the UN. Make the solutions enumerated in your resolution applicable to other countries, too.
- Choose a memorable topic.
Don't do a resolution about drilling wells in Africa for water, because that's been done to death. Try to come up with a unique way to solve the problems at hand. One of the components which your resolutions will be scored on is originality, so keep that in mind.
- Choose a topic with an asymmetrical information advantage.
What is a topic with an "asymmetrical information advantage"? It's a topic that is common and prevalant, but not a lot of people know the intricate details of. Like the American healthcare system, or the ICAO. This is less important than the other ones, but is still something to consider -- choose a topic with an information advantage and it makes it easier during debate.
- Choose an important topic.
This is the most important one. Choose a relevant topic. If you're country's in the news recently, look there for inspiration.
Got a good idea? Great. Now it's time to write your resolution.
