Pros And Cons Of Anti Political Dynasty In The Philippines

The responsibilities of government are to protect its citizens by such means as our armed services or military weapons. Government is to ensure there is a way of fairly maintaining order as an example our police, National Guard, and to ensure every citizen has equal access to items, products, goods such as schools, and highways. However, government or politics often has a negative connotation too many as it is viewed as a way for lobbyists and those with money to make policies that are important or in some way helpful to them. Many view politics as dishonest and that politics is a manner in which someone or group benefits for their own advantage and not for society as a

The government’s role for the people is to challenge them like how contestants from “The Amazing Race” or “Fear Factor” are challenged. Government should be like a reality competition show filled with adventure and danger (Amazing Race, 2003) (Fear Factor, 2005). Just like the government in “The Hunger Games” (Collins, 2008). People should compete for rights and liberties. The competitions can be held under the government’s supervision. These competitions can involve multiple life daring tasks and only the ones that survive win. The losers or the ones not so fortunate die in the process, a true fight to the death. Government works from a federal standpoint and does not get involved in local affairs.

One of the biggest problems with some sort of a government is that they tend to spend the money on things that would not benefit their country. As in the Gilded Age many people were incredibly poor or filthy rich. Many of the rich people were in the government such as the president. When this occurs it means that the government is hoarding the money of themselves and not helping the people. It’s the same thing today in America and especially other countries who starve their people.

There are several important reasons why Anti-Dynasty Bill has to be pass by Congress to limit the power and influence of political families. First, political dynasties corrupt the system of checks and balances. Second, the centrality of dynasties to politics decreases the costs of associated with committing corrupts acts. Even if they face criminal cases or corruption during their term, political actors can still continue to gain benefits of power by having spouses, children or relatives take their seats as officials. Lastly, the continued success of political families despite the corruption charges undermines the law and perpetuates

What is government? It is a system which regulates a nation, city, state, or any specific group of people. It enforces law, provides services, and more or less bands a society together. It is the ultimate servant to the people along with big corporations who for the price of capital provide services and conveniences for the betterment of the people especially in the United States. Their work is communicated in the media in a positive manner. However the media only communicates to you what the government wants Americans to know and pushes out the real issues. Many Americans fail to see that the land of the free suffers from a lack of opportunity and upward

To imagine and address all of the needs of just one individual may seem like a difficult job in itself, but to contemplate an institution to address the needs of thousands of people is highly impressive. This is what our government does for Americans today. Ever since the Declaration of Independence was signed, people throughout the United States encountered many freedoms, but with great power comes great responsibility. Without politics and our American Government, there would be pandemonium and chaos throughout the country. Within the United States, our government must be balanced and it must have some form of structure. It can not be so structured that it becomes a tyrannical and

The government should take on the role of mother in a sense; guide the lost, shield the unprotected, help the unfortunate, and be the backbone to a greater change, whether that might be in national problems or national challenges. For example, the stigma of second class citizenship and minorities in my opinion also plays a role, because the individuals in these so called “factions” are separated by power, the government can better find ways to guide and provide a balance without losing touch with peace and justice. I feel that the government did right in creating the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights for that matter, because it gives citizens clarification like a grocery receipt ensures we were charged correctly. It is up to us to seek and aspire to be a chain reaction within our governments as did both these two opposing

Since the beginning of humanity, there have always been the rulers, and the ruled. The rulers have always been the government, and the ruled has always been the people. One would believe that the government would be truthful and be interested in their people's well being, but clearly, this is not the case. In fact, lies are often more common than the truth. Facts are changed based on the governing party's current needs. The government wants to control their people, to have an unquestioning, thoughtless population that make them more powerful, as this is their main priority. As a generalisation, the government is more interested in their well-being than that of the people who drive it.

Government is an administration defined by the Constitution, but is also a constantly adjusting foundation by the efforts of its citizens. By Litherland (2014), government is defined as policies set in order to lead a body of people (p. 395). Over the span of time, the idea of government has been stretched, changed, and applied to various communities throughout both the nation and the world. Whether it was back in the eighteenth century, current, or in the very near future—government has existed and will continue to exist for its people and the nation it has built its foundation upon. With the use of multiple authors, those of: “Difference between Direct and Representative Democracy” (n.d.), “Federalism - Dividing Power between States and the

We live in this country for the land, and the for the free as Americans we rely on many attributes in this world in order for us to live our lives. Our government has supplied us with many great things for us to be proud of. Our government is “the institutions and processes though which public policies are made for society.” (Edwards, Wattenberg, and Lineberry, p. 7). With all these institutions which includes the President, Congress, the courts and all the federal administrative agencies. These are the institutions that make up public policies for us, and to shape the way we live as Americans. The way this system has been operating through all the years has been

The role of government has developed throughout the years changing the way we view and act in society today. For example, the national government ensure that the citizens of the United States are all treated equally, applies law and order, and provides opportunities. The government has changed dramatically since we now have social media, newspapers, and the radio. However , not only has the government provided a strong impact in society in a positive way, but it has also impacted the society in negative ways. As a nation the public has found many imperfection in our government that they want to change. Public opinion has caused negative feedback through media and political participation . The government is trying to help the people by

Aristocratic Government – the rule by few elites. Its success is depended on the people that rule. It however degenerates into oligarchy which is when men of property take over government.

Looking back to the previous government systems in different periods in Philippine history, we can see that our present government system is somehow shaped and patterned from the previous systems that prevailed in our country. Pre – historically we have seen how they established their government and basically, we can say that it is far more primitive than the present system that we have. However, the basic principles like the consultation of the datus to the elders can somehow be seen in the present by the presence of political advisers where our president consults aside from the members of the senate and the congress. The barangay system

When talking about Philippine Administrative System, first thing that comes to mind is about the government and its political divisions in the country. It is about the nations’s political hierarchy such as the central government, provinces, municipalities and barangay. However, these divisions and subdivisions can be attributed to our past history. It is not a plant that simply blooms from nowhere. The Philippine Administrative System is dynamic, shaped and evolved through time. From Spanish colonial period to the present administration, the mode of bureacracy is adopted, patterned and improved depending on the needs and wants of the administration. Needs, in terms of the welfare of the society. Wants,

The other disadvantage of this is once a family starts having political dynasty they will thirst for dominance they would harbor more power in their family they would want to dominate the society and considering of that attitude it will lead to the fall of the society and its people. According to Angela Casauay, The House Bill 3587 or the act prohibiting the Establishment of Political Dynasties seeks to prohibit relatives and according to Jan Danelle A. Patindol, up to the second degree of consanguinity to hold or run for both national and local office in "Successive, simultaneous, or overlapping term." The quote "Successive, simultaneous, or overlapping term" , means that you cannot run as a politician if a member of your family or relative is still in the politics. This bill brings potential about real reform. The families that have been voted repeatedly would abuse the people, because they have their trust and would make use of it to widen their power in their community. People are deprived of their right to vote for who they want because a person sitting in the highest position of the government moreover they will do everything and anything for his family member to become a part of the government or another is if the family member is to end his term and his other family member is to run for the position he or she is in the result or the winner in the end would
