Ali G’s Essay on the United Nations: “It’s Your World”

Yo, big up yourself, dis is Ali G, comin’ at ya with da realest talk about da United Nations (or as I call it, da “United Notions”). So listen up, ’cause dis is important—da U.N. is all about one thing: It’s Your World. But is it really? Or is it just another way for da big boys to keep us in check? Let’s break it down.

What is da U.N.?

Aight, so da United Nations is like da world’s biggest crew, where almost every country gets to chat and pretend dey is equal. It started after World War II when everyone was like, “Yo, let’s not do dat again.” So now, dey meet up in New York, chat about world peace, human rights, and try to stop countries from beefin’.

But let’s be real—how much power do dey actually got? Like, if a country wants to start beef, da U.N. sends a ‘strongly worded letter.’ Bruv, does anyone actually read dem? I seen parking tickets dat got more enforcement.

Who Runs Da Show?

So da U.N. got different parts—General Assembly (where everyone talks), Security Council (where da real bosses make da decisions), and da Secretary-General (basically da headteacher of dis big school). But let’s be honest, da real decisions is made by da big five: U.S., U.K., China, Russia, and France. If dem lot don’t agree, nothing happens.

So, if it’s our world, why do only a few people get da real say? Imagine if me and my crew voted on where to eat, but only Big Dave’s vote counted. Dat ain’t democracy, dat’s dictatorship with extra steps.

What Does Da U.N. Actually Do?

Well, dey send peacekeepers to war zones, help refugees, and make sure people ain’t starving. Big up to dem for dat. But when it comes to stopping big problems like war and climate change, dey move slower than my nan on a dial-up internet.

Like, climate change is melting da ice caps, but countries still arguing about whose fault it is. Bruv, does it matter? Just fix it! If my house is on fire, I don’t spend two years debating who lit da match, I grab a bucket.

So, Is It Really Our World?

Aight, here’s da realness—da U.N. got good intentions, but intentions ain’t enough. If dis is really our world, den we need to make sure our voices count, not just da big leaders. We need real action, not just fancy speeches at posh meetings in New York.

So to all da people out there, remember: da world ain’t just for da politicians, it’s for us too. If you wanna make a change, don’t wait for da U.N. to do it—get involved, speak up, and make moves. ‘Cause at da end of da day, it’s not just their world, it’s your world. Keep it real.

Ali G out. Respek.
