Parliament can make laws on any matter due to Dicey in ‘Law of the Constitution (1885).’ He said that ‘in theory Parliament has total power. It is sovereign'. He states a number of reasons as to how this is possible. Firstly Dicey points out that Parliament can pass laws on any subject without legal restriction therefore it is sovereign. This principle is a result of the election of the Members of Parliament (MPs), by the electorate which gives them authority to represent and pass legislation on their behalf.
Citizens today want to be better represented which the only way for that is to have Direct Democracy; where every citizen can make their own decisions together about laws. Other citizens aren't even aware of current issue in our country today and that is only one of the many states in our country. Which leads me to believe that Direct Democracy would not work in the United States. The pros and cons show how Direct Democracy could be very effective to both sides. Every single citizen has his or her own opinion to certain issues as well to Direct Democracy.
Within a republic there are still government positions, each possessing specific powers and even rank. These officials are still elected by the citizens of the United States, but they often possess powers that cannot be altered or motivated by the common individual. The most powerful way for citizens to influence government is by voting –
Because people that do not vote can be disadvantaged it is important to understand who is more likely to vote to better help them. According to Harder and Krosnick (2008) there are many different demographic, psychological and social factors that can cause a person to vote or not to vote. Indicating factors such as race, education, income and age are some of the standout reasons of why a person chooses to vote or not to vote. Understanding why people do not vote could be of specific interest to elected officials because they are tasked with representing the entire population. By understanding why a person chooses to participate in the electoral process it could help officials to increase voter turnout so that public policy benefits all of the population, not just a select
It reflects what is important to the person (now and for the future) and specifies the support they require to make a valued contribution to their community. 1.2 Explain the benefits of using person-centred thinking with individuals. By using person centred thinking a profile can be made to suit the individual focusing on what is important to the person, how they wish to live and then moves towards those aspirations. 1.3 Explain the beliefs and values on which person centred thinking and planning is based. It is based on the belief and values that people with learning disabilities are entitled to the same rights and choices as other members of society.
It is also important to actively acknowledge the person’s strengths, passions and aspirations, and actively involve the family and friends, if the person wishes. Explain why it is important to work in a way that embeds person-centred values. It is important to acknowledge the needs and wishes of our service users, and ensure that these underpin the planning and delivery of their care that values the service users unique past, present and future individuality and recognizing and respecting the person’s role and contribution to family and wider society. By doing this I am respecting the individual and what they have to offer to others, and making the individual still feel ‘needed’ and ‘useful’. Explain why risk-taking can be part of a person centred approach.
It is hard to deal with such an issue since you can’t teach those that don’t want to learn; therefore people will still remain uninformed. We can make it an obligation for every US citizen to vote, but that still does not fix the fact that there will still be uneducated votes in the ballot. That is why there are fragmented structures in the government who delegate whether to pass laws or not after deep research. I prefer that than having people passing bills and laws without knowing the outcome of passing such a law. I do not agree with such a fragmented government structure since it takes so long for necessary bills to be passed; however, educating the public about what they are voting and offering bonuses or some kind of promotion for voting and attending classes would eliminate fragmented governmental structures
Ageism is the act of people discriminating against others just because of their age. Most of the time people think ageism is just against the elderly. However, it can also be against young people as well. Basically you can be too old or young us some people's eyes. Ageism influences the presence of diversity in society by keeping the older people out of the workforce.

Justice – Fair distribution and equal treatment to services, regardless of race, ethnicity, culture, religion, gender, sexual orientation, ability/disability status, and age. Fidelity and Veracity are two values that needs to be treasured as both of these are values closely related to faithfulness and truthfulness in relationships which is highly important when trying to build a sound working relationships with child protection clients. Honouring confidentiality creates the safe environment for the client to open up and trust to the worker to make whatever changes are needed to achieve the goals of the case plan.
Providing support for vulnerable individuals should always be aimed to respect privacy, rights and choices and recognise the importance of individual values and diversity. This also highlights the importance of communication in awareness of the individual’s needs, their preferences and choices. Empowering individuals to make choices and decisions about their own life and to set and achieve goals means an independent life can be supported. 2.1 Communication is essential in person-centred approaches as it is a vital tool is assessing an individual’s preferences and choices as well as the needs they express. This may include sharing decision making with the individual being supported to ensure their choices are incorporated into the care and support they receive.
