A parent’s behavior towards a child greatly influences them and the people they become. It also affects the way the child would act around other people and may give either good or bad impressions of the parents depending on the behavior. A healthy non abusive relationship with children tends to make the child secure and be better capable of making nurturing and healthy relationships whereas an abusive toxic relationship with very strict parents who want their children to do only as they say will result in the child revolting and disobeying the parents and having relationships with other people based on lies and deceit. Yes, discipline and rules are a need for children but as they grow older the restrictions must become more lenient towards them or else they feel trapped and go out of their way on to a bad path and learn bad habits from the wrong people. Children look up t0 their parents and learn from how they act around others and base themselves off that. So yes, the parent’s behavior greatly affects the child as they’re not just bringing a child up, they’re teaching a person how to live.

Artificial intelligence (AI) development has to take ethics very seriously because there is the major impact that AI can have on people. It can also effect environment and society. There are some important model considerations are as follows:
Firstly we should talk about security and safety it’s very crucial to ensure security and safety of AI systems, specially when it is about driverless car and medical diagnostics. And we can enjoy security by taking best validation and cyber security to reduce risks.
Now let’s discuss about human individuality, AI system has power ability to influence how decisions are made , which may reduce human autonomy. It’s very important to use AI responsibly while maintaining and respecting human autonomy.
The important thing is privacy: as we know AI system frequently access huge amount of data, people worry about that a protection and privacy.
It can be difficult to assign blame when AI system makes mistake or hurt people.

Corruption damages public trust in government institutions by making people feel that officials are acting for personal gain rather than the public good. This loss of trust can lead to protests, lower citizen engagement, and social unrest. When people perceive that their leaders are corrupt, they lose confidence in the government’s ability to serve them fairly and effectively.
Example:Brazil’s Petrobras Scandal (2014)- In Brazil, a major corruption scandal involving the state oil company Petrobras was exposed. Politicians and company executives were found taking bribes in exchange for awarding contracts at high prices, costing billions of dollars. This scandal, known as Operation Car Wash, revealed deep-rooted corruption within the government and business sectors.
Impact on Public Trust:
1. Loss of Confidence: People felt the government was corrupt and could not be trusted to act fairly or in the best interest of the public.
2.Protests and Unrest: The scandal led to widespread protests, with citizens demanding greater transparency, honesty, and accountability from their leaders.
3. Political Instability : High-ranking officials, including a former president, were implicated, causing significant political chaos and a major shift in public opinion against the ruling party.
This example demonstrates how corruption can severely erode public trust in government, leading to widespread unrest and a strong demand for change and reform.

The concept of secularism sparks intense debate. It encompasses two main concepts.
Positive secularism, followed in India, involves the state recognizing religious coexistence and striving to foster a healthy relationship between religions and the state. It prioritizes minority rights and advocates for religious pluralism.
Negative secularism, on the other hand, advocates for a strict separation between religion and the state. It dictates that religion should not interfere in state matters, and vice versa. All religions are considered equal in the eyes of the law.
Uniform Civil Code aims to establish a common set of laws for all citizens, replacing personal laws granted to specific religious communities. It ensures equal treatment of all citizens, regardless of their religion.
Indeed it can be inferred that implementation of UCC in India will be the first step towards achieving the ideal of Negative Secularism . Which is idealised as perfect equality .
Implications of implementing UCC in India can be different across different Communities as :-
It is opposed by some minority communities because it seeks to abbrogate their personal religious laws. And they think that this is unnecessary intervention of government in their religious matter.
While some people thinks UCC is necessary for national integration and Equal treatment of people before law .
It is also written in Directive Principles of State Policy in Constitution Article 44 that “The State shall endeavour to secure for the citizens a uniform civil code throughout the territory of India.”
I think that UCC is necessary also for stopping illegal religious conversions and stopping the interference of government in all the religions. A uniform code is required to make a strong legal system which will also be effucient .

Yes, the idea of “one nation, one law” is a necessity and in pursuit of that goal a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) has been suggested to ‘reform’ our current legal structure which will cement national unity & integrity as well equality before law while modernising India laws. UCC seeks to end discrimination on grounds of religion or caste. It is replacing the different laws which are based upon the scriptures and customs of each major religious community in India with a common set governing every citizen.
Equality and Justice:
India’s complex legal system currently has myriad personal laws for different communities that results in differential rights and obligations, which mainly affect women. There is no question that India needs a UCC to harmonize different personal laws on common principles, and enable unity of law in areas like marriage, divorce, inheritance etc., as part of the commitment implicit in Article 44- the right against discrimination.
National Integration: UCC can promote a feeling of unity and national identity by establishing equal rights for all citizens under one singular legal framework. This can also reduce legal pluralism whenever it is and acts as a barrier to national integration divides-inter alia, communities
Gender Justice : Most of the personal laws that exist treat women unfairly and were formulated purely under patriarchal influences. A UCC would seek to ensure equal rights and protection for women in all communities, It will help achieve gender justice by addressing issues such as unilateral divorce (by of Triple Talaq), unequal inheritance right which leads= g various form on the exploitation of Women like Polygamy,Ployandry & mystical marriage.
Modernization & Simplification: By replacing the currently complex and outdated personal laws with a simplified, coherent legal body of law ensure that it provides an updated set of uniform rules for India. It would have made the law more consumable and intelligible to an average man.
Secularism: A UCC conforms with the secular principles incorporated in the Indian Constitution by refusing to respect religious laws that apply differentially to different persons. This divorce of religion from law only strengthens the secular nature of a state.
While the implementation of a UCC is a complex and sensitive issue, requiring extensive dialogue and consensus-building among diverse communities, its potential to enhance equality, justice, and national unity makes it a necessary step for India’s progress as a modern, inclusive democracy.

Conclusion
Lastly on behalf of conclusion it can be stated that While some laws may appear to favor women, they are often rooted in attempts to address historical and systemic inequalities. It is important to recognize that many laws are written to be gender-neutral but may be perceived as favoring one gender over another due to the historical sufferings and societal norms. These laws are designed to provide a legal framework for protection.
