Goverment/United Nations Question???

Question

I need background information on Cultural Revitalization Post National and International Disaster and how it is related to Nicruaga sooo please help me please

Answer 1

The UN does very little for countries like Nicaragua. They usually just have meetings and argue about money and who has what seat in a particular meet, etc. Read John Bolton's book, Surrender is not an Option.

Answer 2

Nicaragua’s capital city (pop. 1,000,000) was devastated by an earthquake in 1972 (80% of its buildings were destroyed), and it has never fully recovered. Because multistory construction would be vulnerable to future quakes, it is a low-rise town that sprawls over a huge area, with many sections in ruins. There is much poverty in the city, but some wealth in the suburbs.

Limited revitalization projects were undertaken in the early 1990s when Arnoldo Aleman (the country’s former president) served as mayor.  

One of them was the new cathedral, with its pink and purple dome architecture. One notable example is the National Palace (Palacio Nacional - known for a short time as the Palace of the Heroes of the Revolution), which is located on a plaza facing Lake Managua. It was recently refurbished and now hosts art exhibits, fashion shows and other events. Another structure on the plaza, the National Cathedral, is in ruins, but it retains hints of its previous splendor. See it at night, when music and lighting effects transform it into a mysterious and magical place - it’s open until 8 pm.

The Ruben Dario Theater exhibits a collection of art by the country’s foremost painters and sculptors, and a drama group stages productions in the basement of the theater. Other nightlife includes discotheques, occasional musical and cultural presentations and some small music clubs. Look for a performance by Carlos Mejia, one of the two Mejia brothers who are famous folk-music performers.

Several shopping centers and markets are located in the newer sections of town. The Mercado Roberto Huembes has a good selection of handicrafts. The city also has many art galleries that feature the works of national artists. Baseball, which Nicaraguans are passionate about, is very popular in Managua, but those passions can sometimes get out of hand: Unless you’re attending with people who know their way around, you may want to steer clear. The season runs October - April, and there are usually several games a week at the National Stadium (Estadio Nacional) on Avenida Williams Romero.

Many of the country’s principal attractions (Leon, Lake Nicaragua, Granada, Masaya, Masaya Volcano National Park and others) can be visited on day trips from Managua. Also nearby, and visible from the city, is Momotombo Volcano. The mountain can be climbed, but to do so, you’ll need a permit from the Instituto Nicaraguense de Energia, located in Managua.
