Activity 2
What factors or forces led to the Revolution

Enlightenment ideas: This had a big impact in the Revolution because new ideas about how to govern or how to manage power and authority was spreading around in the Third Estate. The Third Estate was inspired of the success of the American Revolution so they began to question the structure of the society and the new ideas and politics they were doing.Taking the ideas of the famous philosophers like Rousseau and Voltaire and they began to fight for equality, liberty and democracy.

The leadership of King Louis XVI and the queen: A really big problem when France entered into a big dept, was the amount of money Louis XVI and his wife Marie Antoinette spend in different things. The dept was also because of previous kings and because he helped in the American Revolution in the war against Great Britain. Maria always wanted to have really nice dresses and jewels so she spent a lot of money in does things. Also she entered with the government  and did not support or give any advice to his husband Louis. She was a member of the Royal family in Austria, so France hated her and also because of her attitude towards everybody. Then it came a day where they had no money left so Louis solution was to impose taxes on the nobility. He called the Estates-General. Which consisted of representatives from all three estates.

Immediate events before the Revolution: The Third Estate made new changes in their government. Each delegate had a vote, and many other advantages. They began to gain more and more power. A leading spokesperson that had their same way of thinking was a clergyman named Emmanuel-Joseph Sieyes. He had the idea that the 3rd Estates delegates called themselves the National Assembly a meeting only with the third Estate there they pass laws and reforms in the name of all the French population. The Third Estate delegates then went inside a tennis court pledging themselves to stay their until they had a new  Constitution and that is was promoted to everyone. This pledge became known as Tennis Court Oath. In Paris there were a lot of rumors and many people suggested that Louis was using the military force to dismiss the National Assembly. Others, charged that the foreign troops were coming to Paris to massacre French citizens.

Describe the Great Fear: The Great Fear occurred from July 20 to August 5 in 1789 at France. It was the beginning of the French Revolution. Villages that where close to each other where spreading rumors that told that the nobles were hiring outlaws to terrorize the peasants. This was a period of panic for most of the beginning of the Revolution and riot by peasant and other rumors of an aristocratic conspiracy by the king and the privileged to overthrow the third Estate. The Great Fear panic all over France. The peasants soon became to outlaws themselves, they also armed with pitchforks and other farm tools to break into Noble's manor houses and destroyed the old legal papers that obligated them to pay feudal dues. Peasants also went to burn down the manor’s house.

Position Paper Topic A - Isabella Perches

Topic: Establishing and Enforcing Wage Parity Between Genders

Country: Mexico

Delegate: Isabella Perches

Committee: Commission of the Status of Women

Nowadays, parity between genders affects several things in the world including all human behavior. Men tend to work longer hours, and women tend to help around the house and spend time educating their children. Women enjoy educating their children but would appreciate the opportunity to work and to make money by their own and men educate their children too. But the problem here is that employers are not being equal in the aspect of the compensations of women and man. When women get the opportunity to work, they work harder or the same and they don’t receive the same salary as men. People think that women and men are not the same, and that they don’t have equal value, they don’t give that much importance to women. If we reduce the discrimination or the gender inequality women’s rights would rise and poverty between families could decrease. This shouldn’t be a problem for men since their economic class would raise. In some countries like Saudi Arabia people are not paying women a good salary and they dot have enough money to live. Saudi Arabia is doing their best to let know all of their people what is going on and give the chance to women to have a better value.

Mexico is completely in favor to accomplish quality between genders. They have problems in the equal pay gap. They don’t give that importance to women and they don’t give the same salary .My delegation position is that they are in favor of gender equality for the citizens are not following it. They are not respecting women rights. Women in Mexico face considerable discrimination and problems in the workplace, and they are earning less than their male partners. The poor employment in Mexico and their opportunities for women, force many of them to migrate overseas, where they gain low-paid employment because if they stay here, they wont have enough money to live or to take care of them.

My delegation strongly suggests eliminating gender inequality and decreasing women’s reliance on informal employment and closing gender gaps, also it is to increase women’s share of seats in national parliaments and local government bodies. We need to combat violence against girls and women. The best thing we could do is to but advertisements all over the streets to let everyone know the problem in which we are in, and the ways to stop it. We also need to set gender inequality issues as a priority in many public agendas.
