    Law and Courts in Today s Business Envi

    The laws government enacts are a way to enforce rules. The government’s role in business is to protect consumers from bad business practices by enforcing rules, regulations and laws that the businesses have to go by if they want to practice business. The government is also responsible for protecting the employees that work for these businesses by making sure they provide a safe work environment and that they are protected against discrimination. The environment has to be protected from businesses to make sure they are operating in a safe manner that is not harming to the environment such as making sure oil spills are cleaned up properly.

    Advantages And Disadvantages Of Gathering Blue

    The government shouldn't have too much power and influence nor too little because there will be some bad side effects. For example, in the book Gathering Blue, the government is considered to have too much power which isn't good for many reasons. One reason is it controls the people too much. Also, people didn't want to go in the fields because they feared the beasts, which were made up by the government. This shows they are lying. Lastly, they shouldn't have too little because they wouldn't make many changes. Therefore they should have the right amount of power and influence.…

    John Locke's Leviathon

    should be a combination of both, government is a body of individuals whom society has created and has given the power to initiate and enforce public policies. Government involves two parts, the people who govern and the people being governed, to say that government only concerns the ones who govern makes little sense since leaders are only leaders if they have followers. In order for a government to work, the leaders and followers must strike an agreement with one another, followers must sacrifice power for order and security while leaders must work and take responsibility for power. I think it's in John Locke's book, Leviathon, that says gov't is a social contract between the governors and the governed and abuse from either side results in…

    Purpose of Government

    The most important purpose to me is that the government maintains a stable society. If we did not have stability, then I don’t think we would be where we are today. Stability to me is having control of society, while society determines who has that control. We are allowed to vote and have free speech, which in return, lets society as a whole elect who we think will look out for our individual interest, as well as the society as a whole. A big contributor to having stability is human nature. It is on us as a society to help protect each other from the ones that choose not to adhere to the rules in place to help keep that stability. We as society need some sense of civic sense and responsibility to be able to not only look out for each other, but help enforce the rules set in place to keep a safe and friendly environment. As human nature would have it, we cannot predict how another human being will act toward another or even act out when put in a certain setting. Therefore, we need the government to make laws that can prevent or detour negative acts while among society. Another factor for stability in society is having economic stability. Without economic stability, the society would become stagnant and would not be able to grow, therefore making it difficult to stabilize. Not having economic stability makes society have a negative outlook for consumer spending. Not having society spend hurts the growth of the economy.…

    Thesis Statement: The Government Controlling Everything

    First off i did not have a clear thesis statement which made it hard for me to argue towards my point i was trying to get across. I would re-write my thesis statement to help have a valid point to argue. My thesis statement would be about the government controlling everything and how they had to obey their rules. That would help towards my arguments and put me in the right direction. With that thesis statement i could use the tiqa tiqa format to write paragraphs that help me support my thesis statement. By having a good thesis statement that would help me have a great body paragraph and also make the point im trying to get across in my body more clear. Without a thesis it put me in the wrong direction and made it hard to have any valid points.…

    Government Interference in Our Private Lives

    In the United States today the government tries to interfere in private lives. There should be no more laws made letting the government interfere in the private lives of people and if there are, people should stand up against this invasion in people’s privacy and sat no. Should the government have the right to interfere in people’s private lives? Does being a part of a representative democracy mean that people can give up their freedom to make their own choices to benefit other people?…

    How Laws Affect My Life

    If someone were to ask me, "What has the government done for you today?" I would most likely say nothing, but as I researched I have looked back on my past and my present. I have realized realized that through the years I have really noticed that laws do hold a foundation on my everyday life as well as others. Laws are principles and regulations that are established under the authority of the state and/or the nation. They help to form the foundation for a country that protects and provides for its citizens.…

    Pro Quality of Life

    First of all, the laws and government that govern us greatly add to our high quality of life. One main characteristic of our laws and government that increase our quality of life is our freedom. Freedom is taken for granted by most people today. Without freedom many of your decisions and actions would be gone. Some things like talking to your friends in the hall or things you say over the phone could be monitored. Also the clothes you wear could be the same as everyone else 's if it was not for freedom of expression. If we did not have the freedom to worship any religion we choose in school we might have religious practices and everyone would most likely be forced to follow that religion by the government. In this regard the many freedoms that we have are taken for granted while they have a large impact on improving our superb quality of life. Another way in which the laws and government provide us with an excellent quality of life is by providing us with a just society. Our society is just in several ways, one of which is democracy another is the fairness presented to us by our government.…

    Politics Matters

    Before I even wake up I feel the effects of politics, time zones and daylight savings time is government regulated so the time I wake up is already determined by politics. Going to brush my teeth the toothpaste I used is effected by the various labels that must be included, the dangers, direction, and ingredients. Then there’s taking a shower well the water is controlled and synchronized with the government, so already just waking up brushing my teeth and showering cannot be done without the feeling the influential effects of politics. Another example is taxes, there is a tax on almost everything on this earth, and before a paycheck is earned a payment on tax is deducted from it. To buy gum from the market or any item one must pay tax on it, whether the rich the poor or the middle class receives a tax break is all determined through the power of politics. Also there is the television programs that are watched there is the FCC which stands for the Federal Communications Commission which period of influence is to regulate television and radio. Politics is everywhere in every little thing. For example the road that are driven on and the speed limit all are determined and controlled by the government. The laws set up for the road so someone doesn’t text will driving or is intoxicated while driving are all laws voted on by people who believe that politics…
