THE LAW PROFESSION IN CHINA AND COLOMBIA.


The law is a profession that exists in any society, but it can be very different respect to the kind of culture that handles each country. To engage to this profession, according to the texts consulted, China and Colombia are very different respect to the requirements in areas such like recruitment, and political validity of diplomas. Only a few similarities rescue in the two countries according to the subject.

First of all is too important to explain that China developed a different kind of customs than Colombia, it is based in a different politic, economic and social system, because China uses a comunist system and on the other hand Colombia’s politic, economic and social system is based in a capitalist view. In the lawyer recruiment case in China, the State in addition to the lawyer title and practice time, demands a lawyer qualification based in criterias given by the University and the lawyer works to the State. While in Colombia only need the title of lawyer and have done the practice time and is independent, in other words is a particular.

Also, is very important to clarify that the hiring of lawyers in China, this is, that people who want to have access to justice, have the right to choose the lawyer that they want, whose fees will be pay by the State. This point of view is very different in Colombia, because in this country, people, in most of the cases, if you choose a lawyer, he will have to be pay by themselves, and unusually is paid by the Colombian government.

One of the only similarities found in this analysis is that the legal profession in the two countries has the same purpose, which is to ensure justice and equity to partners of each State.

In order to conclude, I can say that the great difference that exist in this proffesion is because the to countries handles a different politioc, economic, and social sistems. Also, like must normal, the laws of the each country are very differents. For the reasons explained, about the view, there are a lot of fifferences betwen the two countries and a few similarities.

The China Civil War (1927-1950)


In the history of the humanity always has been very important the confrontation of the different forms of political thougth. An important example of this that can explain this phenomenon is the case of China with the Civil War in the middle of the last century, which consisted in the confrontation between military and political ideas developed by the nationalist party and the comunist party respectively in the way to raise the power. This event produced as a principal consecuence the change of direction in the social, political and economical aspects of the country.

The China civil war began in 1927 April and it ended in 1950 May. It was the conflict that there were between the Koumintang (China Nationalist Party or KMT) led by Chiang Kai-Shek and the communist party (PCCH) led by Mao. It began after of the North Expedition, when a part of the KMT ending the alliance created among the KMT and PCCH. On the one hand, the war ending in 1950 with a cease not official of the hostilities and for this reason the communist party raise the power in the Continental Chinese, so, proclaiming the Popular Republic Of China. On the other hand the insular Chinese was ruled for the KMT which you can see too now days.

The principal consequence that can see with this event is the change of the direction in the political, social and economical matters. It is reflected in a big form in the last 30 years principally with the creation of the new politics in the way to improve the conditions of the workers, the folk, and in the economical aspect, principally with the foreign investment.

There is a sector of history scholars that thinking that this change the power and politics are not the best way for the country. They expose that the nationalist thought would be better for the political, social and economical way of China.

Taking everything into account, I can say that this event change in big form the political, social and economical aspects in the country with part of bad things and part of good things. Also, I can say that the different studies about the matter have unlike and let all a world of ideas for that you choose and create your own idea about to this peculiar and important event in the global history.
