Question

Discuss the three leading debates on politics, law, and economics.

Answer 1

1. Religion in Politics- Several countries around the world today have been founded on the basis of secularism, including France and Turkey–that is, the separation of church and state. Separation supporters believe that personal beliefs should not be involved in politics, and people should be allowed to worship as they wish, while critics argue that a state religion helps preserve a secular government and society and can help control radical groups like the KKK.

2. Medical Marijuana-The legalization of marijuana for commercial use is one of the biggest political issues in the United States at the moment. Although some states permitted marijuana recreationally, it has already been approved for medicinal purposes by 23 states and the District of Columbia. Medical marijuana proponents declare its use as a cure for, among others, symptoms of multiple sclerosis and epilepsy, while critics say to be a gateway drug and hinder fertility. Between 1996 and 2001, there were several changes that brought to the attention of the American public regularly the medical cannabis controversy. Second, as of 1996, voters in many states passed laws allowing patients with a doctor's claim confirming the need to have access to marijuana. Second, locations where patients with endorsements by doctors could legally buy the drug, called medical marijuana buyers ' clubs, began to appear in the states where the new laws were passed, generating the contentious situation of public marijuana sales.

3. Are technology and globalization destined to drive up inequality- Over the past several years, debates in innovation and globalization have reached fever pitch in the U.S. and beyond, contributing to ever greater inequality. Three distinctions are useful for understanding what is behind this fear. That would not, however, be passive complaints over injustice. On the opposite, one of the most influential and strong groups in the world, the middle class in industrialized economies has seen global growth favor high earners in their economies along with the growing middle class in emerging economies, while their own income has stagnated. Increasingly, their sense of shortchange is known as a source of political instability.
