The United Nation undoubtedly, is one of the most recognized organizations in the world. For those who aren’t aware of the United Nations, its an organization that was created right after the Second World War, whose purpose is “to maintain international peace and security, developing friendly relations among nations and promoting social progress, better living standards and human rights.”

With such a large organization, many would argue that the United Nations is by far the most influential organization. I would argue against this. This is because the Arc Initiative is an organization that is different compared to the United Nations. After reading about the Arc, I realized that its an organization that simply does not help individuals, rather it focuses on building an “arc” whose purpose it to exchange knowledge and business skills. Unlike the UN, the Arc teaches individuals skills that allow them not to rely on these non-governmental organizations.

 In the end, I feel like that even though the United Nations and the Arc focus on the same group of individuals, these two organizations are different. The UN focuses on helping these individuals while the Arc plans to provide these individuals with specific tools that the UN fails to provide them with.
