I believe that the Arc is a “two way bridge” that is valuable for both civilians in developing countries and developed countries. Through this relationship, students are able to gain knowledge and perspective of how to run a business and create solutions by being able to experience problems first hand. While students are immersed into a different country and culture, they are also able to learn and understand the countries “social customs, trust building and business practices.” As well, local communities are able to benefit by learning how to maintain and become independent in their community in the long run. Whereas, the United Nations may help civilians indirectly, and provide them with short term support. Ultimately, the United Nations would not solve their problems, help to sustain local communities, and help further grow their businesses, but make them become dependent upon the funding from the United Nations, which is concerning. However, the United Nations plays an important part globally, helping keep peace, the spreading of HIV/AIDS and providing universal education. Therefore, both the United Nation’s and the Arc are needed on a global scale to make the world a better place.
