This Year's Theme

Reclaiming Control Of The Circuit

Technology has been a crucial factor in society’s development. It has helped improve communication across borders for families or friends and provided effective development opportunities for all. Like rationing food using technology to decrease food scarcity, or allowing a greater reach to communities to provide humanitarian aid and support families. However, if we are not careful, we will be caught in technology’s web. Humanity’s reliance on technology grows day by day, whether it be using AI to perform tasks as simple as making to-do lists, or using weaponized technology to fight our wars. Not taking into account the harsh impacts it can have on families. This can lead to several humanitarian issues, such as unemployment due to an increase in machinery usage, leading to families losing their sources of income, or it can cause the spread of misinformation, harming their mental health. No matter the size of the issue, the future is in our hands, and it is our responsibility to ensure that everyone can coexist alongside technology without producing catastrophic harm to humanity. If not, humanitarian issues will be prominent and increase around the globe, which will lead to detrimental effects on families and communities. 

BAYMUN
