E-Government

E-Petition
  “E” stands for Electronic. We used to had a petitions on paper group of people were going around other people houses to ask for the sign so their case may be solved. Now a day’s people don’t like wasting their time they prefer someone or something do stuff for them. Computers and precisely the network the technology allowed us to make online petition which is called the ‘e-petition’.
E-Petitions are and easy way to influence government. E-petition can be created by anyone and anything that government is responsible for. People who are making the e-potion have to collect at least 100,000 signatures so that the government will consider the problem.
Because I’m only 17 my voles do not count. So I cannot really talk about my own experience but I have seen some petition already and, I decided to talk about one of them it really relates to my local area. A bus service stopped providing buses in a morning, where a lot of people were using it to get to work and some students to get to school so local people decided to talk to the bus company but it didn’t work. The bus company said there were a lot of reasons why they decided to cancel this certain bus service. Next step for those local people was to make an petition gather a right amount of signatures and sent it to government so they can help they solve the problem they cannot deal with.
 They were asking for the signatures by their local newspaper, the problem was presented to the readers and underneath they put a web address for the website where people can volte as well.
I personally think it was the easiest and the quickest way to collect the right amount of signatures. 
This example was based on normal local volte but e-petitions can be made to consider something even for the whole UK. Therefore sometimes government is making e-petitions because they want to know what the UK population think about their idea.

GOV.UK
There is few websites which help a lot of the UK population in a verity of ways. One of the website I would like to talk about is the GOV.UK.
The GOV.UK had been made by people who work for government. Through this the whole population of UK can get information on; Driving, transport and travel, benefits, businesses and self-employed, employing people, education and learning, working, job and the law, housing and local services, crime, justices and the law, money and taxes, births, deaths, marriages and care, disabled people, citizenship and life in the UK, if anyone have an issue with one of these subtitles it all belongs to the government and you can get a specific help. UK as other European countries wants to take care of their people. There is two more websites that suggested by GOV.UK; Direct.gov and business link. GOV.UK like other two websites suggested has the same purpose and the same audiences.
  GOV.UK is a public website the customers are not paying for any of the services. If the customer would like to get and advice on a specific case the website is provided in the set of information that might help if not they also have a contact number so they can always call for more information.
  I can only see advantages of this website, people can easily receive the information they need and UK as an European county has a lot of immigrants and some of them cannot speak English so they might find talking to people in person hard in that case they can just look up whatever they would like to know on that website. Although the website has not the option to change the language I still think it that is just the idea how the website would be improved.

 

Government
As I mentioned before the technology has moved on so quickly and every one want to be closer to everyone. Even the politicians decided to have their own accounts of Facebook or Twitter. Those social networks can easily improve the communication. Therefore I think the communication is really important these days people are finding hard to talk to people in person they prefer to send text or email occasionally call people on the phone. Some of the well knows politicians are using the social network. For example most of than are using Twitters they can share their idea with other people.
I think these days any type of communication is good, especially if the government really wants to have closer communication with their population of UK.



Youths Clubs
Teenagers is a big part coved by the government I decided to talk about the Youths clubs because they’re getting a massive support from government. They support children and young adults in a lot of things they might even investigate in some people if they feel like they have the talent and the knowledge. There is a lot of clubs in my local are there is few places just for teenagers where they can come and spend the time is a good in my opinion coz now there is a lot of drags and other dangers/ unhealthy substances .These  clubs can increase their knowledge and opportunities.
