The United Nations (UN) is an association of independent countries that agreed to work together to prevent and end wars. The UN also attempts to improve social conditions by promoting international cooperation, economic development, public health, environmental conservation, and human rights. Members of the UN are supposed to cooperate peacefully and resolve differences diplomatically.
The UN also provides a forum for its members to express their views in the General Assembly, the Security Council, the Economic and Social Council, and other bodies and committees. By enabling dialogue between its members, and by hosting negotiations, the Organization has become a mechanism for governments to find areas of agreement and solve problems together.

Everyone Is Different
(By Lanny Sherwin)
Verse 1: We’re all different colors, we wear different clothes,
We speak differently from different zip codes.
We’re short, we’re tall, we’re fat, we’re thin,
We’re square pegs in round holes just trying to fit in.
Chorus: Everyone is different, it’s really no big thing,
It’s the differences between us that make life interesting.
Those little quirks that make us work are Heaven-sent,
So give a little thanks
That we’re all different.
Verse 2: We’re wise, we’re weird, we’re cool, we’re geeks,
We’re pieces of a puzzle – strangely unique.
But put us together and what do you see?
The world is our home, and we’re one big family.
Chorus: Everyone is different, it’s really no big thing,
It’s the differences between us that make life interesting.
Those little quirks that make us work are Heaven-sent,
So give a little thanks
That we’re all different.
