if i were the prime minister of India
The Prime Minister of India, aha! The highest executive of the largest democracy of the world, what a promising position, what a status, and Oh! What laurels.
However I see this position as it were with a pinch of salt as, it is more a thorny crown on the head of the person who wears it. Dealing with the daily affairs of the country, is not easy, so, this positions, this status, this name are not without the demerits.
If I was to be the Prime Minister of India, the first and most difficult thing I would deal with would be the building of the character of the people of the nation. I feel that, all the drawbacks and failures of the country and its people are, mainly due to the lack of character of its people, its Executives, its politicians and all others.
Now developing characters is not something that can be done in a day or something that can be imposed on a generation. There is no magic cure for this malady which is inherent in the Indian scene.
Since I know that neither can character be infused overnight, nor can it be eliminated from the scene, I would ensure that all bad characters no matter that, are booked for their wrong doings, punished as per the laws of the land.
I really believe that even if just a few wrong doers are punished strictly, instead of being shielded by their patrons, then others will not indulge in similar malpractices. I earnestly feel that punishment is the only approach to this Herculean problem of character. If few, yes, just a few are punished all others will be frightened of the consequences of wrong doing.
This exercise of punishments I would start from the highest rungs of the ladder and then come downwards, though the lower rungs would get cleaned by themselves if the cleaning be done at the top.
The next area of influence I would try to work upon would be the education of the masses. Our education as I understand it had been framed by the British rulers.
They had the objective of creating babes for their Government

    Hammurabi

    • 691 Words

    I believe that there are some that need a harsh punishment to learn their lesson. Others need to be shown justice and mercy. Hammurabi’s Code provided a little bit of both almost 4,000 years ago. It was 1792 B.C.E, when Hammurabi rose to power as the ruler of Babylon. After ruling for 30 years, he created a set of laws. These laws were called the “Hammurabi’s Code”. He created this code with 282 laws because he was concerned about keeping order in his kingdom. They were carved on a stele made black diorite and placed three of them around his kingdom. Hammurabi's code has been called the first set of laws. But were these laws just and fair or were they too harsh? Looking at the three sets of laws; family law, injury law and property law we see that Hammurabi's code was a just and fair set of laws for the most part although there were many extreme laws that were very violent and could be considered harsh, severe and unjust. In the United States our Constitution forbids such cruel and unusual punishment. Hammurabi will be remembered as a smart and organized ruler who was the first one to establish a set of laws for a civilization.…

    I. Utilitarian Theories of Punishment: Utilitarian justifications are forward-looking (consequentialistic) in nature. All of the questions about the justification of punishment (general justification, title and severity) will be answered by appeal to the utility (value) of the consequences of an action. A. The General Justification: All punishment is, according to the utilitarian, intrinsically bad, because it involves the infliction of pain or some other consequence normally considered unpleasant. Nevertheless, punishment may be justified because of its effects—that is, its extrinsic (instrumental) benefits may outweigh the intrinsic badness. Thus, a system of punishment is justified only by its consequences. The good consequences of punishment are usually said to be the promotion of utility (happiness/pleasure/desire satisfaction) through the reduction in crime. (The justification will only work for systems where reducing behavior classified as criminal will promote utility. Societies that criminalize behavior that is not harmful will have difficulty establishing that reducing the incidence of these sorts of be actions will produce utility). Systems of punishment are usually claimed to reduce crime by three means: 1. Deterrence: ‘Deterrence’ refers to the reduction in crime as a result of making crime too costly to the would-be criminal—“pricing” crime too high. The individual deterred may still desire to commit the crime in question but will not do so given the likelihood and severity of punishment. a) b) 2. 3. Special: The tendency of the punishment to deter the person punished from future criminal acts. General: The tendency of the punishment of one person to deter others from committing criminal acts.…

    As Prime Minister of Canada I feel that there are some things that need to be changed in this country. I think that these things would greatly benefit us better as a country both economically wise and socially wise. These things are; Expanding and securing our far North and Arctic territory by building outposts, both military and research, as well as to construct naval bases to protect our waters from invading countries such as the United States and Russia. Also I would like to make child-care more affordable for every family living in Canada, this primarily focuses on day-care programs for younger children. Finally I would like to make post-secondary schooling more affordable for every Canadian. Therefore I think by doing these things it will make Canada a better place to live for everyone, as well as making it a stronger country on the global scale.…
