[DRAFT] Internationally Recognize Cultural Heritage

[Tuummaarraa]

A resolution to promote funding and the development of education and the arts.

Category: Education and Creativity
Area of Effect: Cultural Heritage

The World Assembly

BELIEVES that global harmony and international respect is key for diplomatic friendliness.

RECOGNIZES every nation as a unique sovereign state that should be admired alongside others.

REALIZES racism and stereotyping has dulled the minds of many.

IS CONCERNED about the damage simple false stereotyping can do to an international relationship.

Therefore, by the power of the council of the General Assembly, the WA will

1. POSITIVELY RECOGNIZE at least a few cultural aspects of every nation,

2. ALLOW ADVERTISEMENT AND PROMOTION of cultural heritage and rituals that are open to outsider participation,

3. ILLEGALIZE racism and negative stereotyping,

4. ALLOW NATIONS TO CHOOSE which trading products are not allowed to enter the country due to cultural interference,

5. PROMOTE global harmony between all nations,

6. When a war is taking place, REQUIRE BOTH SIDES to discuss about a possible peaceful fair alternative.

Against.

Of the seven posts you have made to date, five have been new proposals. Firing off new threads isn't like firing a shotgun and hoping one or two pellets will hit the target. Proposals need careful thought, response to feedback, and a lot of hard work.

Perhaps you should try participating in other players' threads for a few weeks so you can see what other players respond to suggestions and criticism. What you're doing right now is pretty much just spam.

1. I don't think racism should be banned. If a person is acting a bigot, let him be, it si enforced through social conduct.
2. Forcing the recogniztion of cultural aspects of every nation is too much for a nation. There just isn't enough room to put in festivals and holidays.

2. ALLOW ADVERTISEMENT AND PROMOTION of cultural heritage and rituals that are open to outsider participation,

No thanks

(OOC: While this isn’t illegal, it’s going to be very hard to enforce. Sides in a war generally aren’t open to dialogue, and people are going to be racist no matter what international law decides to say. A large portion of retro TV shows rely on negative stereotypes for comedy, and modern ones are very similar. Also, as Fris says, focus and work on one draft rather than several.)

OOC: 1. How? 2. Why? 3. Already covered. 4. Either already covered or illegal for contradiction. Also, off-category. 5. Lolwhut? 6. Off-category and has nothing to do with cultural heritage either.

EDIT:

OOC: A large portion of retro TV shows rely on negative stereotypes for comedy, and modern ones are very similar.

That's a very shitty reason ("because it was okay before") to not want to do something about it, though.

3. ILLEGALIZE racism and negative stereotyping

OOC: In the context of the rest of the draft, that looks suspiciously like a rider to me.

I meant that TV shows often rely on exaggerated stereotypes for humour as they form an instantly identifiable and able-to-be-satirised concept, not that the mere fact of their existence justifies negative stereotypes.

OOC: Yeah, but there's a difference between stereotyping and negative stereotyping. And yes one could argue that even a positive stereotype (like, say, all Japanese people are good with electronics) is a negative stereotype when it's used to get a laugh out of people, but that's somewhat besides the point...

Yes, maybe that is a better idea.
