Learning Activity 2 Evidence

Learning activity 2 Evidence: Speak your mind 1. A political system is optimal not because it produces the policies that you prefer. It produces the policies that much smarter people prefer. I disagree. A political system is optimal because it produces the policies that everybody needs no matter what anyone prefers. On the other hand, the policies that benefits to a nation are often product of the work of the smartest scholars who use science to discover the needs of a nation. Having said that, I think there is not an “ideal” political system and every political system seen by human kind have always had failures. 2. The ideal system depends on the cultural attributes of the population. The ideal system has to protect culture and religion but be apart from them to take decisions. However, objectivity has to be the main characteristic of an ideal system so things as religion and culture shouldn’t be that important in taking decisions. 3. Individuals should be admitted to schools and hired for jobs based on their ability. Everyone’s right to education and work has to be preserved no matter their ability or any other condition. Every person should be welcome to schools and have the opportunity to apply for jobs; that kind of conditions allows and promote discrimination and rips our society from its very bases. 4. Unlike the private sector, the government is motivated by public interest. This is the ideal statement for a democratic nation nevertheless what we see nowadays is a very different scene; everyday, senators, presidents, mayors and other political actors are being imprisoned because of corruption, embezzlement and many other embarrassing issues originated of their own selfishness. 5. Taxes allow the government to create jobs and provide welfare programs for people in need.

That’s right, taxes are annoying but necessary. Governments are continually searching for additional funds to pay for the needs of their citizens, businesses, and bureaucrats. At the local level, taxes support spending for schools roads, libraries, athletic facilities, fire and police services, and the salaries of county and municipal employees.

6. Governmental programs encourage people to become dependent and lazy instead of inspiring them to become hard-working and independent. Governmental programs do not encourage people to become dependent and lazy, but a bad designed program does. Governamental programs need to have conditions and requirements to assure the effectivity of the help given. the programs that give financial aid or so without any requirements are useless.
