    hey mamatha, i totally agree with your opinion, i have been to more than 10 muns and when i compare my first experience to the latest one, toxicity just increases. MUNs are not a symbol of DIPLOMACY any more but a POWER PLAY of extroverts.
    one guy literally asked me contribution of russian escorts when i was representing USSR

    The only reason the MUNS are the way they are is because the school don’t take much initiative to make sure that each student has a fair chance to participate in the event. This alters the entire experience of a proper MUN session rip

    I partially agree with your pov. I have always despised motion to entertain but fortunately I have had some of the best chair in my school muns and our school overall hosted muns in a very good way and it being limited gave opportunity to almost every delegate to speak. In the end it matters what kind of chairs you get and if they really want to impart the right knowledge.

    First of all, I'm so glad I found this video. Secondly, I totally agree with most of what you're saying. Especially the part of anonymous chits, that creeped me out as well. The whole idea that some 18 year old dude could be hitting on a 13 year old girl is just absurd. I went to my first MUN conference a month ago and it was horrid. The chairs were disorganized and I just did not enjoy it at all. The whole idea of MUN in hindsight is actually quite simple, yet I did not see it until you mentioned. The "Power Play" role you talked about couldn't be any more true. The conference I was in, all the winners were those who had been keeping relations with chairs, other committees and etc. So yeah it's basically a brawl of extroverts trying to be the most extroverted in a group of extroverts. For some of us introverts, what we were told was a place to improve our public speaking turned out to be just one speech until you realize that everyone will bombard you with questions to embarass you down, elimating the competition one by one.

    I had known about MUN due to my former classmate promoting it in her insta stories. I had no bloody idea what it was and whether i might be missing out on something. But you actually gave a coherent review on what ACTUALLY happens and put up some logical points. MUN is basically just another poster example of 'expectations vs reality' contrast.

    Yeah, the last conference I did was all about shouting lmao. I was Iran trying to talk to Turkey privately but suddenly his bloc came outta nowhere and basically just shouted towards him while me and Egypt couldn't get a word in. Litteraly, every time I spoke my voice gets overwhelmed by like 10 other people. So then we had a deal to leave Turkey alone for him to think for 5 minutes. Aaaand then they drag him out of the room to talk privately not even 10 seconds later, of course me and Egypt protested but they just say something like, "He's part of our bloc so fk u,"
    I'm still pissed off at that lmao.
