Critical Infrastructure

In discussions of cyberattacks, one of the most widely-used terms is "critical infrastructure"--infrastructure that is integral in society's functioning. For example, consider the energy grid. If the power in a large city were to go out for an extended period of time, it would impact hospitals and emergency services. In the winter, a lack of heat can be life-threatening in cold areas. In fact, attacks against power grids have already begun--Russia, for example, hacked Ukraine's power grid in 2015, shutting off the power in Kiev, Ukraine's capital. Although the attacks only lasted a few hours, they demonstrated the potential of hacks against critical infrastructure and the need for strong cyber-protection ( More information on the Russia-Ukraine hack .). Other kinds of critical infrastructure include: Communications Chemicals Critical Manufacturing Dams Defense Bases Food and Agriculture Emergency Services Financial Services Healthcare Transporta...

Importance of U.S Foreign Aid

Hey Delegates, This article relates to the foreign aid that the US gives to its allies and those countries in need. In 2017, the Trump Administration proposed a 28% cut in spending for the USAID. Is this cut warranted or unfeasible? What is the importance of military aid? Many politicians have been known to favor aid, and think it is important as it helps to foster "economic growth and democratization". But then why is it the case that the US government is looking to cut aid spending? The article takes a look into specific examples and talks about how the US could benefit from these cuts, or could be putting itself and its credibility in danger. Here is the link: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-cage/wp/2017/07/19/theres-another-big-reason-u-s-foreign-aid-is-important-it-helps-us-get-what-we-want/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.1692491fd369

US Military Aid to Cameroon

Hey Delegates, My article today is referring to the US cutting military aid to the US over concerns regarding human rights violations in the area, specifically between the government and the Anglophone separatists. As I highlighted in the Topic Synopsis, this has been the case with many of the US allies, where they pull out from providing nations with military aid due to concerns of this nature. From the article, it says that "The United Nations has said some 430,000 people in Cameroon's Southwest and Northwest regions have fled the fighting between security forces and English-speaking separatists who seek independence from the largely French-speaking country." I want delegates to think about what can be done when situations like this arise - since a country is providing military aid, shouldn't it be their responsibility to help resolve these issues?  Why or why not? Thinking about these kinds of questions is important because it will help you generate so...
