Many of us are outraged by the driver (such as a taxi or bus) work immigrants from Central Asia, little knowing not only Russian, but also violate the basic safety rules and traffic.Abroad, this hardly happens, I ask the client to a taxi driver how to get to the specified address.Why is that?Because in most countries, to obtain a license to a private carting, you must pass exams, not only driving, but also knowledge of the city.Now imagine what would happen if the dropout doctor asked the patient about how best to treat it?Or the engineer failed to comply with (unknowingly) norms and standards?It is in order to make our lives safer, and there is a legal provision of professional activities.The idea is to legislatively define the norms and criteria to be met by a professional to be treated as such.
However, legal support of professional activity is intended not only to prevent the labor market hacks and dropouts.Legal norms - as a regulator of social relations - are created and improved to protect professionals.For each sector at the same time have their own codes, licensing principles, legal provisions.After all, for example, the risk to life and health when certain types of professional activities are different: if the doctor works with a contagious patient, he should be provided with conditions for the protection of their health.A teacher assumed this workload and a vacation that allow Preparation and psychological recovery.
In some countries (including in Russia) are continually reviewed to ensure the legal norms of professional activity.For example, if the earlier guide-interpreter could only be after the end of special courses and obtain a license, and now access to the profession has never been easier.This is done to ensure that the legal regulation of professional activity does not become a tool for creating a caste.It is no secret that in every industry that requires licensing, there is a danger of biased and selective approach.It is no accident such professions as lawyers, notaries, a pharmacist often "dynastic" not because the children even more clearly manifest the ability of parents, so that access to the profession is not free.To become a lawyer, it is not enough just to finish law school.We need to do an internship, study the specialization and pass the exam.Unfortunately, it is often impossible to do without "connections" and "Me."That is, on the one hand, the legal provision of professional activities to protect the public interest, and on the other - becomes a tool for the creation of "narrow circle" of influential people who will try to prevent "outsiders" to the "bread" of the profession.The undoubted advantage of the presence of a regulator is that the candidate to obtain a license or certificate will be carefully checked.The apparent disadvantage - is that in any social relationship, here, too, can not avoid subjectivity, bias or favoritism.
It sometimes gives rise to a paradoxical situation.For example, there are cases when a few years successfully engaged in professional activities impostors without proper certificates and education.If a lawyer wins the case, it certainly violates the law - but what matters to this client?Or another example: in the West, in order to become a certified translator, you must pass a serious test and get a license, and, in addition, be a citizen of this country.But, alas, the very license is not the same with a really thorough knowledge of the language.And often, translations made by these experts, it is necessary to correct and adjust.Naturally the question arises to improve the procedures and criteria for licensing professional activities.And legal maintenance of professional activity - it is a sphere, which must pay attention not only to the legislators, but also civil society activists.
