What I did and what I learned about my topic, activism, social justice work or civil and human rights work from this fieldwork?:

My fellow classmates and I went to the United Nations Building in NYC. It was tremendously enormous and filled with many interesting artworks and rooms. The tour guide was very nice and very detailed in her explanations. 10/10 would recommend. The guide explained the purposes of every room, such as how The General Assembly is used for discussing international issues of all kinds. I would also like to mention the rooms had very nice, soft carpeting. Although the trip did not have a large impact on my group’s topic, we did learn that the military budget of every nation combined is almost 1.8 trillion dollars. Overall 10/10 trip that I would recommend to tourists and NYC citizens alike.
