Why is the lawmaking function of Congress central to democracy?

Social Studies

lbvjy [14]3 years ago
8 0

The answer is: because it is the means by which public will becomes public policy.

Members of the congress are elected by the citizens in order to carried out their aspiration to the lawmaking process.

The citizens cannot force their will to the government and directly vote for the law that must be passed by the government. BUT , they can elect a congress who has similar goals, value, principles as them and trust that congress to make the best possible decision for them.

Because of this, we can say that the lawmaking function of congress is an important means to make public will to become public policy.

<span>ART BY THOMAS POROSTOCKY</span>PRO: RESEARCH ON GENE EDITING IN HUMANS MUST CONTINUE

By John Harris

<span>John Harris is professor emeritus in science ethics at University of Manchester, U.K., and the author of How to be Good, Oxford University Press 2016.</span>

In February of this year, the Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority in the United Kingdom approved a request by the Francis Crick Institute in London to modify human embryos using the new gene editing technique CRISPR-Cas9. This is the second time human embryos have been employed in such research, and the first time their use has been sanctioned by a national regulatory authority. The scientists at the Institute hope to cast light on early embryo development—work which may eventually lead to safer and more successful fertility treatments.

The embryos, provided by patients undergoing in vitro fertilization, will not be allowed to develop beyond seven days. But in theory—and eventually in practice—CRISPR could be used to modify disease-causing genes in embryos brought to term, removing the faulty script from the genetic code of that person’s future descendants as well. Proponents of such “human germline editing” argue that it could potentially decrease, or even eliminate, the incidence of many serious genetic diseases, reducing human suffering worldwide. Opponents say that modifying human embryos is dangerous and unnatural, and does not take into account the consent of future generations.

Rescorla's cognitive theory proposed that the real reason Pavlov's dogs salivated to conditioned stimuli was that these stimuli
Keith_Richards [23]

Rescorla's cognitive theory proposed that the real reason Pavlov's dogs salivated to conditioned stimuli was that these stimuli allowed them to <u>predict what food would come</u>.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Pavlovian theory explains that the stimulus is related with the conditioned response. To prove this Ivan Pavlov conducted some experiments regarding stimulus with his dogs. In this experiment he found that the objects or events are capable of triggering the conditioned response. A bell is used as a neutral stimulus in the experiment designed by Pavlov.

The change that occurs in the associative strength between the conditioned stimulus and unconditioned stimulus is well explained by Rescorla’s theory.

The dog under experiment is presented with stimulus and food, and this process is repeated for several numbers of times. Finally the dogs started to salivate in response to the stimulus.
