Global Governance Human Security

.....pursuing graduate studies for professional and personal advancement. A graduate program for professional improvement will prime me for a profession in business, civil service, and nonprofit settings. The programs merge discipline-specific and complex coursework with competence such as critical thinking, multitasking/time management, and analytical thinking that are carried over even with change of profession. Moreover, completing a graduate degree signifies steadfastness, purpose, strength of mind and resilience, and individuals who possess these notable qualities are in great demand to fill innumerable positions. According to NYU (2015), my advancement within an organization lies in my ability to prove success in a long-term state requiring strength, discipline, and the willingness to work cooperatively with others.

On the personal level, earning a graduate degree will not only expand and strengthen my education, but it will also instill significant skills and fresh knowledge to become a successful frontrunner and innovator at the conclusion of the program. This will empower and qualify me to be part of the knowledge group and achieve heightened recognition and credibility. Many graduate degree holders I have met have accomplished immensely and who have gained reverence and acknowledgement they deserve. According to NYU (2015), it is undeniable that an advanced degree would make my resume distinct. Preferably, it would tell something about myself and the commitment to my chosen field.

Part 2

My learning objectives are:

1. To achieve solid theoretical foundation, involving the concepts of global leadership and human safety, and the range of factors, structure, and organization that influence our increasingly active global system

2. To have the capacity to recognize, evaluate, and add represent and evolving human security concerns in the geopolitical and authority setting

3. To gain progressive academic competence in interdisciplinary research approach and policy within an array of methodologies (University of Massachusetts Boston, 2016)

I have confidence that the interdisciplinary curriculum would address universal concerns from many perspectives and practical approaches. I believe the program would propose wide range of issues including arbitration, human rights, economic growth and expansion, education, health, and environment issues. The graduate program would equip me with knowledge and skills for dealing with conflict, fostering security, and administrating by providing an encouraging learning condition that is academically rigorous, active, and interdisciplinary. According to University of Massachusetts, Boston (2016), consequently, it would train me to be a thorough analyst and expand my leadership as an academic, researcher, and a practitioner.

Global security interests me. From my analytical viewpoint, underdevelopment is caused majorly by public domain violent conflict, a now widely accepted view. This is exhibited by the remarkable underperformanceof underdeveloped, unstable, or conflict-distressed nations in achieving the Millennium Development Goals. According to Bombarded & van (2013), political impediments to include communication on peace and security in currentset of global leadership objectives can be expected as long as security remains to be managed exclusively from the viewpoint of state security. The graduate program would educate and inform me on the political hindrances and best route to go about them.

If freedom from strife and good governance are believed to be the main component of well-being, the path to incorporate them in a modern global governance structure is by identifying security more broadly. Human safety emphasis is on freedom from violence and individual security, rather thansecurity of the state. Just as violent clash is a reason of underdevelopment, we understand that violent clashes are no longer triggered, increasingly, by threats to state integrity. Currently, security is more readily described by the issue of what is being threatened? The state or society? By whom? By state or non-state player? With little exceptions, and from a general interest viewpoint, little security can be left to the "domestic" domain alone, that is if we take into consideration the drivers and the management of conflict, specifically those attempts to compel conflict that do not result to violence and are in order with universal objectives. According to Bombande & van (2013), such education in human security would allow me to adopt the vital role of authority in this regard, as governments employ regulations and have the power to apply a multitude of background-specific methods to violence. However, it too accommodates a bigger participation of local groups, civic society, and other nonstate players as part of a workable solution.

Similarly, I have an interest in embarking more into protection of human rights. Through a national program, I voluntarily worked with UN at specifically sensitizing child soldiers, demobilized in a conflict by UN peacekeeping, by offering macro project for all those previously in combat. For these ex-combatant child soldiers to achieve sustainability, I was involved in offering them agricultural projects and vegetation clearing, and they achieve certain level of security economically. I recognize that solely the interaction among states, global organizations and non-state players permit human rights to turn into a vital element for global governance. I aim to be immersed in the promotion and mobilization endeavors of nongovernmental organizations that have been responsible, to a n immense degree, for the effective institutionalization and ratification of human rights. For the duration of my voluntary function, I was able to keep some degree of understanding among child soldiers. I also took part and tried to mend the affected in all aspects involving domestic conflict. Additionally, in America, I have volunteered as mentor for NGOs, through which I was able to help refugees from Iraq, Iran, Burma and many others be released. According to Hirschmann, I would specifically want to tackle more of the Transnational NGOs like Human Rights watch and Transparency International and as an influential plan-setters and overseer.

I strive to be in a position to keenly take part in NGO's litigation processes in international, national and regional courts, and to aid individuals in claiming their rights. The state has readily permitted such communities access to global decision-making and depends on their sovereign input and information competencies. According to Hirschmann, this has contributed to international liability: states can now be deemed accountable for their obligation to human rights before an international community that is modeled by the data and censoring of a transnational civil society.

There is still much left to be done to make the international human rights establishment more effective, and I aspire to be part of the answer. The rights established on paper must be effectively employed in the domestic legal organization and constitutions. States should create functioning censoring mechanisms and inform civilians regarding their rights and possible ways for complaint. In domestic societies, the internalization of human rights standards, by means of law and culture is of paramount significance for the agreements to become universally effective. According to Hirschmann, the reporting mechanism and awareness-raising drives of NGOs and transnational organizations, for instance, the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights continues to be significant because of the lack of international enforcement methods.

Lastly, I am also interested in addressing the execution gap in global leadership. There should be a sanction to nations that are unwilling to instigate treaties, while the presidency over significant global human rights associations should be nominated concerning the aspirants' human rights records. Nevertheless, the countries which solely lack the ability for implementation need unrelenting global support. Effective human rights internalization necessitateslegal training for human rights observer, lawyersand judges, in addition to formation of a functioning litigation process and local awareness programs. This is particularly important in times of war or in regions of limited statehood, which challenge the realization of global governance in the matter of human rights currently. According to Hischamnn, overall, admission into the graduate program would arm me with the indispensable knowledge and experience to attain my objectives and interests.
