第五段 既然法律这么牛 为什么还有这么多问题没有解决呢 问题不在于法律不能改变人的思想 而在于我们未能充分发挥法律的潜能 unleash the potential of the legal system
第六段 结束 同意reason 但不同意 claim 强调一下法律制度还有潜力可挖
Thesis:
I agree that laws cannot always change people’s feelings or beliefs. Yet, laws can still solve many social problems by providing incentives and disincentives to alter people’s behaviors in the contexts of individuals, corporations and governments.
P2: Laws can be useful in solving social problems by regulating individuals’ behaviors through offering incentives and disincentives.
example: traffic laws that punish drivers who run the red light and those who drink and drive
P3: The managers may also make rational decisions according to the constraints set by the laws.
example: penalty for tax evasion
P4: Laws may also provide the government with the power and resources they need to solve the social problems
The government needs the authorisation from the legislature to use the resources in different areas- No Child Left Behind Act
