I believe that Muhammad would make a great secreatary of state because he isn't full of himself like some of the prophets. Other prophets (like Jesus) are all saying only they speak to god and so on, but Muhammad knew he spoke to god, but also knew that anybody can talk to god. He had seen more than most of the other Prophets and would be a great Secretary General of the United Nations. He was also a very honest person who said that talking to god wasn't pleasent. It was actually painful. This proves that he would be good for the world because you need an honest person to get stuff done.
I believe that Buddha would make the best Secretary General of the United Nations. Buddha lives by the Four Exalted Dwellings and that in life you must have compassion, gladness and equanimity. Buddha would help keep the world calm and help them to live by compassion and give to others. It may be hard to have everyone follow Buddha that is not a Buddhist but what he says makes sense and I believe he would be able to keep a lot of countries from going to war and giving money. Buddha lives by the fact that “Life is suffering” and that “Suffering can be overcome.” If suffering can be overcome and Buddha lives by that rule he’d help overcome suffering around the world by preventing wars and helping countries overcome poverty.
I disagree with Ricky but only because of the points he made. He didn't use any evidence as to why Muhammad would make a good Secretary of Defense. Ricky talks about how he's gone through hatred, mockery and rejection but not about his good qualitys except for kind wisdom. How can kind wisdom help you rule a country? Maybe if Ricky had said and used examples about what makes him a good leader other then kind wisdom maybe I would agree with him. If Ricky had said that Muhammad had the reasoning skills to straighten people out or think differently I could have easily agreed with him but he didn’t so I disagree that Muhammad would make the best Secretary of Defense of the United Nations.
I believe that the Buddha would make a good Secretary General because he is peaceful and not harmful and a lot of people listen to him. He would be a good person to suggest peace because he has reached enlightenment and lots of people listen to him already to reach inner peace. So the reason why I think that the Buddha would make a good Secretary General s because he has already promoted peace and non violence and people have already listened to him and followed his ways. Evidence of this is that everybody follows him so that they can achieve inner peace.
I agree with Ben r in that Muhammad would make a good secretary general because of how he fixed his brutal homelands. I also agree with ricky because it is true that Muhammad never turned away from his very tough task.
