This word is one of the basic elements of MUN. Have you ever thought of why we chose to model "the UN?" Because the UN is a parliament of nations: hundreds of member states assemble to discuss on a pressing issue, each with its own interest and unique point of view. MUN seeks to cultivate the skill to penetrate through a web of conflicting interest and think independently. For students on the threshold to the complicated society, a sense of perspective is a must to survive.
Examples:
Krugman often views an issue from a historical perspective.
MUN activities are aimed to provide students with a global perspective.
Debating with others can often help to put your own problems into perspective.
