Law And Social Justice

(a) Firstly, we talk about the farm workers who do not getting minimum wages in the villages.

(b) Secondly, we talk about women workers who do not getting equal wages as compared to men which is not permitted by law.

The advantages to foreign companies in setting up production in India are following:

(a) Foreign companies easily get cheap labours in India.

(b) We know that after China, India is the second largest populated country in the world and there is a very vast internal market of foreign goods available in India.

(c) India is linked to many countries and its geographical conditions are also favourable. It helps companies to export their goods to major markets of the world.

Bhopal gas tragedy happens 28 years ago on December 2, 1984 but the victims of that tragedy have not get justice yet. Many workers in todays date are sick to work. They have many problmes related to their respirtory system or other disorders. After that tragedy instead of providing safety to the workers there are still many factories who are running without proper safety measures.

Law enforcement mainly means the law maker and enforcer means the government ensures that safety laws are duly implemented.

The government of our country is responsible for the enforcement of law.

It is very important because without its enforcement the framing of various laws is meaningless. Safety laws were not enforced that led to Bhopal Gas Tragedy.

Laws can ensure that market is working in a fair manner. Laws also ensure that business men use ISI marked balance, weights or measurements. There are many products like the medicines and eatable items should have MRP and expiry date, marked on them.

Laws are very imporatant as markets of our country are regulated through them also these laws help in maintaing the relation between workers, consumers and producers.

(a) First of all I have to shift my family to a safe place.

(b) Secondly, it is necessary to give ‘Change of address’ notice for my bank and other legal documents.

(c) Thirdly, education of children is also very important so I will change their school as if they will not get right education their studies and their future will suffer.

Government is that part of our democracy whose legislative organ makes laws. Government of our country has different organs and different organs have diferent responsibility. The executive organ of the government implements these laws and enforcement of the laws safeguards the interest of the minorities. The third organ of the government is the Judiciary and this organ of the government decides punishment for the law breakers.

The various sources of environment pollution in our area are as follow:

(a) Smoke of factories is the main reason due to which air gets polluted.

(b) Smoke of petrol and diesel vehicles is also another source due to which air gets polluted.

(c) The main cause of water pollution is the dirt, chemical, fertilizers and garbage from factories, farms and houses.

(d) Not only this human wastes and dirt from factories also pollute the soil.

Some of the steps that are being taken to reduce pollution are as follows:

(a) There are various laws that are being made to check the environment pollution.

(b) Government has promoted the CNG vehicles which do not cause any pollution.

(c) Those companies who violates environment laws there are several actions that are being taken against them.

Laws and rules cannot make our environment clean. Every individual of the society have to take responsibility to clean his/her environment and should take voluntary actions to minimize pollution.

If we look few years back than our environment was considered a free entity which anyone could spoil. In earlier times there was no rule or law to protect our environment. People at that time were not aware and there were no actions taken by the government against those who spoil the environment.

After the Bhopal Gas Tragedy there were many issues that came forefront. Several laws has been introduced by the government of our country to protect our environment. After this court has declared that government is responsible for checking the pollution and also to punish those people who violates the environment.

a) According to me from the picture the cartoonist is trying to display the problem of child labour.

b) In 2006 there is an amendment in the constitution, a law has been formed known as the ‘Child labour and Prevention Act’. This law bans working of children in the factories, houses, shops etc. who are below 14 years of age.

This is a classroom activity and students have to do it by their own.

We need a law on minimum wages because of the following reasons:

(i) To protect the interest of the workers.

(ii) To ensure fairness and social justice.

(a) The minimum wage for a construction worker in my state is 400 rupees per day.

(b) The minimum wage for these workers is still low. There wage should be increased a little more as in 400 rupees they cannot fulfill the needs of their families.

(c) There is an Indian labour law that sets the minimum wages that must be paid to skilled and unskilled labours.

Enforcement of safety laws is important in any factor because of the following reasons:

(a) Factory work includes use of several machines and it is important that proper care is taken of these machines so that the workers security is guaranteed.

(b) Factories are the areas where there are chances of worker exploitation. So for this factory safety laws are important.

There are various rules in our country which just because of the poor enforcement aren’t followed by the citizens. Some of these rules are as follows:

(a) Driving with license is compulsory but people hardly do so.

(b) Driving while drinking is not allowed but no one follows.

(c) Driving with helmet is compulsory but people barely does that.

Some ways in which enforcement can be improved are:

(a) If the nature of policies and policy makers become strict and loyal.

(b) If the information becomes basic and the flow of information becomes transparent.

(c) If the communication gaps deminish.

From the above statement we understand that the environment should be healthy and clean. This can be done creating more and more awareness among the people. Those who pollute the environment a fine should be imposed on them. Also workers of the factories should be safeguard to maintain their interest.

We need new laws because of the following reasons:

(a) To prevent chaos in the society.

(b) To prevent minority groups from any kind of exploitation by the majority.

(c) To protect the interest of community at large.

(d) To ensure peace and harmony in the society.

Private companies and contractors in order to earn to more profit do unfair practices such as paying low wages to workers, employing children to work, ignoring the working conditions etc. They violates the environmental laws as for them profit is more important than the lives of workers.

In my opinion everyone did not get justice in the case because though the court solved one problem of saving the environment it gave rise to several other issues like workers working there lost their jobs and the places where the factories got relocated started getting polluted in the same way.

The environment can be protected in following ways:

(a) We must use lorecent light bulbs as they not only lasts longer but also save energy.

(b) Driving is one of the biggest cause of pollution, hence use cycle or walk for shorter distance and prefer public transport.

(c) We must follow the recommended amount of detergent for washing.

(d) Find ways of recovering the rain water.
