This is a Model UN themed terrorism-inquisitory parable inspired by the film Munich.

At a special Brown Model UN conference held in the United Nations headquarters in NYC, students from around the world gathered to discuss the modernism-relevant topic of terrorism-rhetoric at the educational/cultural level in various underdeveloped and/or fundamentalism-catering nations such as Angola and Syria. This student-geared Model UN conference would focus on discussions about how terrorism dialogue at the educational and sociocultural levels in places such as Angola contributed to an anti-globalization sentiment in the emerging geopolitical climate of dialogue and rhetoric-driven commerce (e.g., PyeongChang Olympics 2018). The students were very excited/honored to attend this very symbolic Model UN conference in NYC (sponsored by the prestigious Ivy League school Brown University).
Various mock-committees of the UN representing real-world UN policies/procedures in high-priority groups such as ECOFIN, Security Council, and Social/Humanitarian prepared to discuss the modern media's focus on globalization-relevant terrorism-events (i.e., Munich 1972, 9/11). Students were encouraged to evaluate how nations such as Angola and Syria would assess the global media's presentation of the social/symbolic relevance of the international community's handling of Munich and 9/11 to get a grasp on how media/journalism affected the cultural milieu of modern nations (developed or developing). As this intriguing Model UN got underway, a duo of aliens decided to land on Earth and posed themselves as student-delegates from a NY high school representing the Communist nation of Cuba. These two aliens, Cyclonus and Sorsha, were immediately intrigued by the news-images of Munich terrorists presented at the Security Council student-croup of the Model UN conference.
Cyclonus was a cybernetic robotic alien-being who believed in Machiavellian rationalism and an empirical approach to capitalism-governance. Like his alien-cohort visitor to the Brown Model UN conference in NYC, Sorsha, Cyclonus believed that new age human civilization sociocultural 'governance' required serious attention to detail and lifestyle, since commerce/consumerism and media/networking fused everyday life with politics and even religion (e.g., EWTN, Al Jazeera). Cyclonus was assessing how the students at the Security Council were evaluating how media presentations of journalistic reports of Munich 1972 and 9/11 were imprinted onto the minds of impressionable and perhaps nationalism-sensitized young students in hotbed/struggling nations such as Angola and Syria. Cyclonus was fascinated by how humans used 'mock-governance' scenarios/lessons to evaluate the human impact of political criticism.
Sorsha was not cybernetic/robotic but rather a flesh-and-bone humanoid female. Cyclonus would transform himself into a fully-organic handsome male to become intimate with Sorsha, since they were recently married. Sorsha was similar to Cyclonus in some respects but differed greatly in others. Sorsha believed that humanity's evaluation of Communist theory was based mostly on the claim that large-scale social organization was purely resource-based. Sorsha wanted to persuade the students at the Brown Model UN conference in NYC, particularly the students in the Social/Humanitarian group (the Third Committee) that media presentations of terrorism rhetoric/news affected how the Western world viewed the educational refinement of students in struggling/hotbed nations such as Angola and Syria. Sorsha, like Cyclonus, was intrigued by the notion that academic models of political scenarios (e.g., UN debates) represented humanity's interest in clinical dialogue (and perhaps free-speech!).
Of course, the students attending the Brown Model UN conference were very bright/intelligent so they came prepared to deal with the challenges/propositions posed by Cyclonus/Sorsha. Cyclonus/Sorsha posed as youthful intelligentsia to get the human students to feel more excited about modeling politics for geopolitical issues and learning. The students at the various committees/groups at the Brown Model UN conference at Brown were glossing over images of politics-passion rallies from around the world, including anti-TrumpUSA protests in America and pro-Zapatista street-fairs in Mexico and ISIS effigy-rallies in the Middle East. Cyclonus/Sorsha thought that if human students were evaluating images of fanaticism/passion in the media, then human civilization itself would be cultivating all forms of 'media enrichment.'
Cyclonus/Sorsha urged the students in the various committees to consider the links between media and marketing and how Aer Lingus (the airline of Ireland) offered pro-commerce/tourism images (in ads) of hospitable stewardesses/pilots reminding world-travelers of Ireland's attention to consumerism and amenities despite its conspicuous historical ties to liberation-rhetoric oriented terrorism (i.e., IRA, Sinn Fein). Cyclonus/Sorsha wanted the enthusiastic students at the Brown Model UN conference in NYC to consider how new age capitalism would fuel new kinds of network-driven geopolitical consciousness (e.g., Middle Eastern restaurants in America, Jewish online global jewelry mercantilism, Vatican-TV, etc.).
After the conference ended, Cyclonus transformed himself into a humanoid masked urban vigilante named Deathstroke, modeled after an iconic DC Comics anti-hero and headed into the streets of NYC and LA where he used mayhem and news-stunts to create social intrigue about post-9/11 terrorism-paranoia. Deathstroke (Cyclonus) told CNN, "If the West is to become a Big Brother of global terrorism dissection, it must evaluate why the 1992 Los Angeles Race Riots represented domestic insanity before it can address why global terrorism is a policing matter inherited by the USA!" Cyclonus wanted to create 'fireworks' about why/how human journalists in Western civilization evaluated terrorism in terms of 'street' (or pedestrian) culture. After all, Hollywood (USA) had made countless terrorism-adventure films such as Die Hard, Air Force One, The Devil's Own, and The Siege.
Meanwhile, Sorsha was busy making her own brand of sociopolitical controversy. She decided to make consumerism ads of racy/sexy women in school uniforms posed for Playboy magazine so that readers could get a sense of how capitalism/consumerism (and the Internet!) was making commerce and lifestyle a thing of 'spirituality.' Sorsha wanted humans to understand/appreciate why movies about terrorism such as Munich paralleled society's frustrations with using art to address political complications. Sorsha mostly wanted the people of the capitalist-world to get a sense of how censorship/pornography directly created insights into the nature of communication and heresy in this new age of aesthetics-driven negotiations (e.g., Consumer Reports, Al Jazeera, etc.).
CYCLONUS: It seems these humans are fascinated by debates.
SORSHA: Media has spiced up human relations...
CYCLONUS: I wonder if Al Jazeera will be embraced in the West!
SORSHA: It's certainly become a 'mainstay' (or standard).
CYCLONUS: Censorship is a key issue for modern media platforms.
SORSHA: Did you notice how graphic video-games are?
CYCLONUS: Yes, Mortal Kombat X features scantily-clad women wielding blades.
SORSHA: It seems humans are very interested in the 'aesthetics' of philosophy!
CYCLONUS: Isn't that why GQ is such a popular magazine in America?
SORSHA: I wonder why Americans are so fascinated by horror-films.
CYCLONUS: Maybe it's because American pluralism makes 'fear' symbolic!
SORSHA: That's normal...traffic intrigue breeds 'calamity-folklore.'
CYCLONUS: Let's return to our home planet (Xanadu) and report our findings, dear.
SORSHA: We'll tell our Council, "Human civilization is one of media and legalese!"
