Issue174 法律是否保持稳定

174."Laws should not be rigid or fixed. Instead, they should be flexible enough to take account of various circumstances, times, and places."

Should laws be not rigid and adaptable to societies no matter under what circumstances, times or places? The speaker claims so. I agree with the speaker’s conclusion, because laws are a necessary tool to gauge the behaviors of citizens in each area of a society. So the society is developing, and the laws should also accordingly develop, but not be always fixed.

Firstly, in terms of a society, laws help to maintain a peaceful, orderly, relative stable environment. Through the protection from the laws citizens have proper human rights. Also through the supervision from the laws human behaviors to some degrees are restricted and crimes can be avoided. To the contrary, once the laws cannot well serve the society, it is the time to revise the outdated law issues and improve the laws. Otherwise, it will threaten the orderly surroundings. Take the Constitution of the United States for example. The first Constitution of the United States—the world’s oldest charter of national government in continuous use was enacted in the year 1787. It was not a fixed one, and was amended for 27 times during the more than two centuries. For instance, in the 13th amendment, abolishing slavery proclaimed by President Abraham Lincoln was finally ratified, and formal legal equality became a constitutional principle. And the blacks were given the rights to vote in the 15th Amendment. Obviously, the most authoritative laws also need amending.

Secondly, laws lead an important role in maintaining the stability of economy and prohibiting any illegal economic behaviors. Economy develops swiftly, and the whole environment where economy is tends to be in a state of diversification. Meanwhile, a myriad of problems occur along with swiftly changing. So it is a responsibility for the government to keep its economy orderly and solve these problems. For supporting examples, one needs look no further than the Enron’s bankruptcy. The flagrant Enron Scandal gives the U.S. a lesson about the importance of government’s investigation on accounting fraud when all citizens were shocked by the fact the firms could hide its loss for 5 years. Afterwards, the scandal resulted in the legislation that reformed the accounting practices and strengthened the investigation on whether companies are conforming to the standards. Original laws are not necessarily perfect, and not always adapt to the society in the future, since everyone cannot predict what will happen. So the economic laws should be not rigid.

Even if the laws should keep pace with the development of a society, frequent amendments and revisions would confuse the citizens somewhat and even lose the respect from the citizens. Laws are just like a reference book, which needs people to refer to on the base of people’s cognitions. However, that people’s cognitions fail to keep pace with changes of laws cause people’ confusion and place them in a dilemma: “which law should be obeyed, the old one and the new one?” At the meantime, sublime authority of laws becomes vanished when people no longer trust the laws.

In sum, the laws, functioning to govern a society and to control the behaviors of the members, should make changes according to society’s changes. And it is from the faults found in the process of executing the laws that the legislature discovers more complements to the exciting laws. However, in larger sense, laws should remain kept relatively stable so that citizens can trust and obey the laws.


Outline:
Position: Laws should be adaptable to the societies whenever and wherever it is needed.
Body1: In terms of society, laws is to serve to
Body2: In economy,
Body3: However, laws, frequently revised by legislature, would confuse citizens and even lose respect.

174."Laws should not be rigid or fixed. Instead, they should be flexible enough to take account of various circumstances, times, and places."

Should laws be not rigid and be (比较明确) adaptable to societies under no matter what circumstances, times or places? The speaker claims so. I agree with the speaker’s conclusion, because laws are a necessary tool to confinethe behaviors of citizens in each area of a society. So the society is developing, and the laws should also accordingly develop, but not be always fixed.换成: Concomitant with the advancement of the society the legal systems should be developed, but not be fixed.

Firstly, in terms of a society at the social level, laws help to maintain a peaceful, orderly, relatively stable environment. Through the protection from the laws citizens have proper human rights. Also through the supervision from the laws human behaviors are restricted and crimes can be avoided to some degree. To the contrary On the contrary or in contrast, once the laws cannot well serve the society, it is the time to revise the outdated law issues and improve the laws. Otherwise, it will threaten the orderly surroundings 是不是用circumstances 更好. Take the Constitution of the United States for example. The first Constitution of the United States—the world’s oldest charter of national government in continuous use was enacted in the year 1787. It was not a fixed one, and was amended for 27 times during a little more than two centuries. For instance, in the 13th amendment, abolishing slavery proclaimed by President Abraham Lincoln was finally ratified, and formal legal equality became a constitutional principle. And the blacks were given the rights to vote in the 15th Amendment. Obviously, the most authoritative laws also need amending.是不是应该说一说为什么该宪法??这样你的例子才更有效

Secondly, laws play an important role in maintaining the stability of economy and prohibiting any illegal economic这里指名是economic好么??--我知道了,你是想两个层面—还是把他最为一个例子,这里只讲myriad illegal behaviors behaviors. Economy develops rapidly or soars, and the whole environment where economy tends to be in a position of diversification. Meanwhile, a myriad of problems occur along with swiftly changing. So it is the responsibility for the government to keep its economy orderly and solve these problems. For supporting examples, one needs look no further than the Enron’s bankruptcy. The flagrant Enron Scandal gave the U.S. a lesson about the importance of government’s investigation and sifting on accounting fraud when all citizens were shocked by the fact the firms could hide its loss for 5 years. Afterwards, the scandal resulted in the legislation that reformed the accounting practices and strengthened the investigation on whether companies are conforming to the standards. Original laws are not necessarily perfect, and not always adapt to the society in the future, since everyone cannot predict what will happen. So the economic laws should be not rigid.

Even if用though there are lots of urgent needs for amendments of existing laws 是否好点?? the laws should keep pace with the development of a society, frequent amendments and revisions would somewhat confuse the citizens and even lose the respect from the citizens. Laws are just like a reference book, by which people have to refer to on the base of people’s cognitions. 换成people have to adjust their behaviors to the reference or limits如何??However, that people’s cognitions fail to keep pace with changes 还有一种说法:lose the right tract of … of laws cause people’ confusion and place them in a dilemma make them bog down into a dilemma : “which law should be obeyed, the old one and the new one?” At the meantime, sublime authority of laws becomes vanished when people no longer trust the laws.

And it is from the faults found in the process of executing the laws that the legislature discovers more complements to the exciting laws. However, in a larger sense, laws should remain kept relatively stable so that citizens can trust and obey the laws.

感觉还挺好的,词汇用的比较到位,不过,你的意见应该是大正小负的,可是你的结尾给你的意见不相符。该一下,会好很多。

还有,要是我,我会写1、new situations, time over … such as the crimes and criminal online and the antitrust laws 2、new recognition of people such as the moral legislation—mercy killing or abortion … for instance, Chinese first legislation on the youth crimes … and American laws about juvenile delinquency … 3、however, if the legal systems are changed frequently, people common sense concerning which law should work in the specific condition will lost. …然后把经济法和宪法的例子作为论据。
