How Effectively the Law in England Responds to Social and Technological Changes

Introduction

The environment of UK is quite dynamic and so with the overall changes in society the needs and the desires of humans are also changing in UK. To cater the highly changing environment law also needs to be formulated in a way that is flexible and can also be changed according to the changes in the environment. As the time is passing the environment is also changing and so is the society along with the surroundings of the society. The change in the society and the environment is leading towards the increased change in the law and the regulations of all types and also is resulting in the changes in the whole legal system (Open University W100/Reader 1, 2010, pp.11-15). The origin of all types of law is the parliament of England which is the supreme body and has the full authority to formulate the laws.

Social change indicates that a vast numbers of people have been engaging in social groups, their activities, and different relationships which are different from those of previous relationships. Therefore, social change indicates changes in the way of people they work, the way people rear their family, the way people govern their children, the way people educate their children, and ultimately the way people seek their life. Moreover, to social change and law there are many other factors of change, for example, structural strains, economic factors, political, conflict, competition, ideology, and technology (Open University W100/Reader 1, 2010, Pp.05-238).

 The discussion section should include arguments and critiques based on law in which Statute law; common law and European law are the main topics for discussion.
