How is a law made in Korea?
Have you ever made a prank call? I saw many friends of mine did it elementary school. In middle school, I also saw my friends send 'prank text messages.' It was possible because phones which are not made today have a function that we can change the phone number when we send a text message. If you get a big damage from any of prank text messages, you feel like we need a law which bans sending prank text messages. So, let me know how a law is made in my country Korea. There are two ways to make a law, and each way has a long step that should be followed in order to make a law.
First of all, lawmaking programs start the Legislative Office. Each government department and office makes a plan which law they make or change during the current year and inform the Legislative Office of their plans. The Office examines and selects the plans. For example, if it is planned to make a law that text messages should be sent from right caller number, Korea Communications Commission make in details provisions of the policy they want to propel. The Commission is in charge of matters on cellphone, but it has no authority to make a law to impose fines. So the Commission should consult the Ministry of Justice on the law.
As halfway phrase, lawmaking is given notice, and both Regulatory Reform Committee and the Legislative Office in turn inspect the law. The reason why people are allowed to know contents of a law is to hear from their opinion about the law. Regulatory Reform Committee then reflects deeply whether contents of the law may curtail any rights of people. If the law is deemed to be legitimate, then it is time for the Legislative Office to complement it. What the Office judges is if either the law might cause problems when it applies to daily life, or it might be conflict with the Constitution and other laws. After the Office's evaluation, the ministers concerned including the Legislation Minister participate in a Cabinet meeting under the chairmanship of the President.
Lastly, the law should obtain presidential sanction and it is laid before the National Assembly. In the Assembly, the law also is submitted to the Standing Committee so that the Committee put together public opinion and comments from each department concerned. The Legislation and Judiciary Committee receive the baton and refer it to a plenary session. The law is enacted by being passed in the session, and the new law returns to the government and is, at last, made public. The Legislative Office provides the online service that all people can search and get information on legislations. Visit the website and check out if it is necessary(http://www.law.go.kr/main.html).
This is how the government enacts a law. It is a complicated process. We need to observe the law which is that sophisticatedly made. Don't send a prank text message to your friend without letting him know who the sender is. It is not illegal now, but it can turn out to be illegal at any time.
Its contents and terms seem to use professional knowledges, so it`s little difficult for me to understand it. But the hyper-link in the fourth paragraph is very good idea, as I think. But there is just one thing I hope to change is in the second paragraph. You used 'start', but it may better to using 'start at(with)'.
ReplyDeleteFirst I want to say that I really enjoyed your writing! I could literally see that you've done so much research for this essay! And I think putting the link into your essay is a very innovative try.
ReplyDeleteYour main point seems to be "the process to legislate a law".
Although I soon learned that it is a "spam call", but at first I didn't understand what a "prank call" is.
And if there's one more thing I want to mention, your essay will be much better if you strengthen your conclusion. I know that you tried to create a link between the introduction and the conclusion by mentioning about the "prank call". Beginning with the concept of prank call in the intro really caught my eye, but the way you put the word in the end wasn't enough to make a strong conclusion.
But overall, you did a good job!

ReplyDelete1. What I like about this piece of writing is your topic. Because your topic is related to law or administrative process, it can be little difficult to understand to people, however your writing was clear and easy to understand.
2. your main point seems to be very clear.
3. Especially, your hook sentence's role was really helpful to attract readers' attention. I like your hook sentense because it is your anecdoctal experiences, which would be more familiar to other readers.
4. There was no unclear sentence or phrases..
5. The one chance you could make for your better essay would be..more specific explanation about "words" related to Law, or some specific area.
