Quickwrite 6 (Realism Unit)

If a rule, law, or practice is immoral or wrong there are several things that could be done. The leader of that country could decide that it is wrong and try to overturn or repeal a law that was put into place. If it is an immoral practice, they could make that practice illegal; this wouldn’t stop everyone from doing it, but it would help to bring it down. In America, when a president does not like a law, he can veto it. This does not happen too often, but occasionally there are those that the president just will not go for. In other countries, I’m not very clear on how they change their laws, but I’m sure that their leader is involved in the process of changing them. When deciding whether to change a law/rule or make a law to stop or at least minimize an immoral practice, you should weigh the benefits and the disadvantages. A lot of the time, if you’re a political leader, you want to do what your followers would like for you to do or else you would lose their support; you should think about how the new law or removal of the law would affect said people. You should also think about how many people support this change and how many people disagree with this change; you wouldn’t want to make too many enemies, especially if you were in a position of power. In the end, you should do what you think is right, stick to your gut and the things that you know; you’ll most likely be praised for what you did.
