_______________________________________________________________________________
Dear Delegates,
Welcome to the V Bellas Artes Interscholastic Model of the United Nations
(BAIMUN 2013). It is a pleasure and an honor to count on your participation,
trusting that this year we will exceed all your expectations, reaching every goal
established as well as showing a high academic level, partnership and
perseverance while discussing and settling the raised issue.
During the 20th century, the government overshadowed the media, which
didnt have laws that defended or supported them, neither technology that helped
disseminate the truth concealed with in the governments from their own citizens.
The real story took months even years to rise, but that all changed in 1990 with the
birth of the Internet, followed by the creation of the social networks, where the
world, in time no longer than a second, could know the truth of what was
happening, creating something never seen before, and giving origin, to the 7 th
Power.
In recent years the media and the social network have come together and
formed a really strong power, having a great influence on the events that have
been happening around the world, creating in citizens from different countries,
reactions that mark the history of the world, starting with small protests and
finishing with the fall of an entire government.
Taking this into account, the committee of The 7th power or the debate
panel, must approach and debate the topic that has been causing a lot of polemic
the last years: The influence that the media and social network has had over
contemporary revolutions, the relevance that the new technology has in the mediaand in the decisions of the governments and analyze the before and after the 7th
power got its influence and compare them.

population and its magnitude to the people of each country when it comes to
media, news and communication.
It is up to the experts and journalist, to debate if this new movement of
power is positive or negative in the eyes of the citizens, that want to know the truth
or had enough of the lies that their government has given to them or from the eyes
of the governments, of a way to control riots, maintain the authority and protect
their country and their citizens.
Faithfully,
Gerardo Quintero, Committees President

TOPIC A: The influence that the
media and the social networks
has had over the contemporary
revolutions.
In the past years, the social
networks, and the different
international communication and
media information sharing has been
evolving, generating what some
people call The Technologic
Revolution. Its no secret to anyone
that the countries from the entire
world have been witnesses of this
evolution through time.
It is important to highlight the
role that technology and digital
journalism has played in the 20th and
21st century, creating in a particular
way, an online information sharing
system through the internet where the
users of the different parts of the
world can access to the latest news ina matter of seconds. Also, this
journalism and social media has been
the portal for the possession of
worldwide information. Every user is
capable of finding the information that
they require.
But now days not everything
can be found so easy. In the past
years, the world has watched how
some politicians, most of them
governments, try to control the media,
communication sites and information
distributors to manipulate the
information that could come out to the
world. This, of course, its more visible
in some countries than in others and
for this same reason, revolutions and
different types of political, ideological
and public movements have been
started in countries where the citizens
are tired of the media manipulation by
the government.
The Revolutions in the world
and the social networks and
communication media nowadays are
delicate subjects to discuss, it
requires professionals who have
worked in the field and know theintegrity and ethic of the journalism in
the 21st
century.
That is why, this committee
was designed: For the discussion and
7/29/2019 TEMARIO PANEL DEBATE
7/8
IV BAIMUN:Bellas Artes Interscholastic Model of United NationsPanel Debate
_______________________________________________________________________________
debate of the pros and the contras of
this situation that the world is living
nowadays. Also, the discussion ofother topics and subjects that conform
what it is the journalism and the
freedom of speech and information all
around the world, to ensure that its
validation and credibility its not lost
and to ensure a debate with people
from different points of view, to get
the maximum opinions as possible in
order to let the debate flow and to get
to the conclusion of whether is it bad
or is it good to let the social networks
be part of the everyday information
obtain and the nations primary source
of news to the world.
So each one of the delegates
must adopt the character of a
professional in the area, whether it is
an important journalist or the CEO of
an important social network. And
discuss it within the debate,
considering the ideals, political
opinions and different aspects that
each one of the specialists has in
their day-by-day articles and live.
TOPIC B: The effect and
consequences that cyber
bullying and cyber stalking has
had over teenagers and Internet
users in the 21st century.
Day by day the world and
specially the Internet universe is witness
of the atrocities and the different cases
that this two situations causes. Multiple
individuals have been victims of cyberbullying and cyber stalking, bringing as
consequence negative changes in the
victims personality and social
development.
As a matter of fact, the Internet
works as a way to communicate, share
experiences and different things about
peoples lives. But some of these users
have taken the Internet as a way to
disturb other users, just for fun or other
purposes. It is no secret that multiple
victims have been so affected by these
users or as they call them bullies or
stalkers that some of them have taken
suicide as an option and taken their lives
because of the harassment they suffer bythese malicious users.
Over the past years, this subject
has been an important point in the
discussion of the pros and contras of the
internet and its regulation, but in the
7/29/2019 TEMARIO PANEL DEBATE
8/8
IV BAIMUN:Bellas Artes Interscholastic Model of United NationsPanel Debate
_______________________________________________________________________________
period of 2010-2012, with all the social
communication evolution, this activities
and different malicious intentions have
evolved into something so influential in
some peoples lives, that they seek for
professional help against these bullies.
Organizations and movements
have taken place all around the world to
stop this actions, helping the different
types of victims and affected users of the
internet, guaranteeing safety and
protection against these internet users.
But lately, the controversy about
this theme has gone stronger; the case of
a young teenager, named Amanda Todd.
Who killed herself because of the actions
that some bullies took against her and her
integrity, it has become a headliner in the
worlds news and hopefully, it also hasbecome a warning, that if this stalking
continues, there will be more victims
affected just like in the past years.
The different professionals and
specialists that were invited to the
discussion panel in the 7th power, have
the responsibility to discuss this subject,
studying its consequences, and whatshould be done by the internet and
communication world in order to protect
and stop the internet stalking and
bullying.
