- It can be corrupt; there's accusations towards the United Nations very often that it is corrupt, and that it serves mostly in the interest of the United States and the western world in general, and objectively speaking it does look that way more often than not.

- It is often ineffective; there's countless examples of the inefficiency of the United Nations, and lots of those kind of seem like the United Nations don't want to solve. Simple example is the name issue between the Republic of Macedonia and Greece. Even though in the law of the United Nations stands that every country has the right to choose its own name and no one can forbid it, and even though the Republic of Macedonia won in the International court over the issue, Greece is blocking its northern neighbor to get into the organizations like NATO and the EU because they are not allowing the term Macedonia to be included in the name of the country. The United Nations did literally nothing to force Greece to respect the law of the organization which they are obliged to do.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

How did contact between the Western Hemisphere and Europe change through the exchange of plants, animals, and pathogens?

This type of contact indeed revolutionized the relationship between European colonists and Native Americans, Mesoamerican Indians, and African slaves.

The term "Columbian Exchange" was coined by Alfred W. Crosby in 1972, when he referred to the exchange between the white Europeans, and the native people of America, basically regarding goods, plants, animals, and diseases.

During the times of the Columbian exchange, thousands of white Europeans came to America and Mesoamerica, the Caribbean Islands, and South America. After Spanish colonization, this vast region was known as New Spain. So Spaniards married Native Indians and Mestizos were born. English people decided to found colonies in North America.

During the Columbian Exchange and Triangular Trade, people were transported to the Americas, there was continuing trade, and also Europeans brought many diseases to the Americas that almost wipe out the entire population of Native Indians. We are talking about diseases such as chickenpox, smallpox, malaria, cholera, or influenza.
