The Reproductive Health Bill became a big issue in the Philippines for the past few months. There were those pros and cons. The government and the Catholic Church talked very seriously about this bill. Famous people argue with the President while the church never accepted the RH Bill because they said it was against their teachings. There were several reviews and a lot of rallies. In most places there were debates among those who promote and those who want the bill to be rejected. Today, the news tells us that the palace had already signed it. These people who are against the bill had nothing to do but abide by the new “Reproductive Health” Law.
Process
A “bill” is introduced when any member of Congress decides to create a new law. Once a bill is introduced in either house, it goes through almost the same process. Each bill is first assigned to a committee for review. The bill is set aside if the committee decides the bill is not worthy. It is sent to the entire house for debate if the committee decides the bill is worthy of further action. If the bill passes, it is sent to the other house. When both agree on a bill, the Speaker of the House and the Vice President sign it before being sent to the President. If the President signs it, the bill now becomes a law.
Description
Most of the time, when we talk about law, justice is being on its tail. Therefore, justice comes with law. And when we think about justice, we picture things that could actually symbolize it. As a fact, justice is represented by a lady holding a balance on her left hand and a sword on her right hand. If you were to be asked, why do you think this lady symbolizes justice? Well, the lady, the balance and the sword depict different meanings which truly symbolizes justice. This lady, therefore, is an excellent picture depicting justice which comes with law.
Comparison and Contrast
“What is law? What is food?” I suppose we already know the answers of these questions. But, do we know how they can be similar and how they differ?
Law is institutionalized. Law is formalized. It is a set of rules with sanctions, and is legalized. I guess it can be a necessity for without it, we should’ve been left behind and underestimated by other nations nowadays. There would be a lot of misunderstandings and we would have a miserable life too. Just imagine if we could do all the bad things we want to do. If we could vandalize everything around us, if we could own anything we want, if we could only steal a diploma and never study anymore, it would be so easy but it will truly cause trouble.
On the other hand, food is our basic necessity. Without food, we cannot live. Food can be eaten the way we want it to be eaten. There are no rules, there are no limitations. It is not even legalized or formalized. We may plant vegetables in our yard then we will have food; as simple as that. However, producing food takes time and effort.
Therefore, these two are similar in a way that law and food follow a set of procedures in order to be made or created. A bill undergoes a lot of reviews before it becomes a law. Plants need to undergo a long-time photosynthesis in order to make food. Therefore, they take time and effort to be made. Also, both are our necessities in this life. Both are needed by man to survive.
However, law and food differ as such law is formalized and legalized unlike food. Food can be eaten without any rules while law is abided by with its several rules to be followed. These two are far alike because law takes sanctions while food doesn’t.
Cause and Effect
Lots of questions are being raised upon we hear the word “law.” People talk about justice, equality and the like that comes to their minds upon hearing the word “law.” Of course we can never avoid asking questions, most especially if we have many doubts in mind.
Why do we have laws yet we are living in a democratic country? Why do we need to follow laws and why do they have sanctions? It can be because we can't have civilization without rules, regulations, laws, etc. The reason for laws and regulations is to change behavior in some way so as to achieve some goals. Give up the goals and you don't need laws, regulations, etc. Sanctions are penalties or other means of enforcement used to provide incentives for obedience with the law, or with rules and regulations. If there would be no sanctions, laws will be more possibly neglected than obeyed by people.
Classification
In this real life, we cannot resist to classify things. Some creations have their own classifications. Most of the time that I encounter classifications like these, is in Science.
Law has its classifications, too. According to nature, substantive law is the law that creates, defines and regulates. Procedural law defines that the method or proceedings in the enforcement of the rights and duties defined in substantive law. According to application, public law defines the relationship between the state and the individual while private law defines the relationship between individuals.
Division
We are in a world made simple. Things herein are surely made simple, too. The world itself was divided into smaller parts. This division of the world became significant to us because it became a lot easier for the government to reach and lead us.
The world was divided into seven continents. These continents were further divided into several countries. Philippines, being one of the countries in the seven continents of the world, is divided into regions, then into provinces, and so on.
Like the world, law is also divided into smaller parts for the purposes that each exhibits. The first one is contract law which regulates everything from buying a bus ticket to trading on derivatives markets. Property law defines rights and obligations related to the transfer and title of personal and real property. Trust law applies to assets held for investment and financial security, while tort law allows claims for compensation if a person's rights or property are harmed. If the harm is criminalized in legislation, criminal law offers means by which the state can prosecute the perpetrator. Constitutional law provides a framework for the creation of law, the protection of human rights and the election of political representatives. Administrative law is used to review the decisions of government agencies. Finally, the international law governs affairs between sovereign states in activities ranging from trade to environmental regulation or military action.
These divisions of law made us understand not only the aspects of law, but also of life. Through these, we are being governed orderly. But, though there are several divisions of it, they make up a single thing called law.
Definition
Law is the organization of social life in its most stable and precise form. It is a rule of conduct or procedure established by custom, agreement, or authority. It is also the most visible symbol of social solidarity. Law is the body of rules and principles governing the affairs of a community and enforced by a political authority. Law is the word that comes into our mind when we say justice, fairness and equality. It is something done in order even if it has a negative connotation to some.
Argumentation
What could be the differences if we have laws and if we have no laws? As we can see today, we have an organized community, the government leads us better and of course there is fairness and justice because we have laws. Citizens are afraid to do bad things and actions in our country because there are laws which have sanctions and they might be put into jail. If we have no laws in our country and even in other worlds, there will be no equality among us. There will be a lot of troubles, fights and misunderstandings. There is really a big difference if we have laws and if we don’t have, and therefore law really makes a big difference not only in our country but in the whole world.
Description of a Mechanism
An assembly line is designed for a sequential organization of workers, tools or machines, and parts. The motion of workers is minimized as possible. All parts or assemblies are handled either by conveyors or motorized vehicles such as forklifts, or gravity, with no manual tracking. Each worker typically performs one simple operation.
Place the tools and the men in the sequence of the operation so that each component part shall travel the least possible distance while in the process of finishing. Use work slides or some other form of carrier so that when a workman completes his operation, he drops the part always in the same place, which place must be the most convenient place to his hand, and if possible have gravity to carry the part to the next workman for his operation. Use sliding assembling lines by which the parts to be assembled are delivered at the convenient distances.
