issue180 Many problems of modern society cannot be solved by laws and the legal system because moral behavior cannot be legislated.

这篇文章花了将近一个小时，写着写着把第一个论点完全给推翻了又重写，我是第一次写政治类的题目，所以找了一篇看起来不是很爽的题目，赫赫，欢迎大家互拍！:)

With more and more problems human beings encounter today, people's perspectives come to abate on whether these problems can solve them and when they find out that laws cannot restrict some behaviors which are only morally bad but not illegal they begin to assert that problems of modern society cannot be solved by laws because moral behavior cannot be legislated. In my view, people who have this kind of thought have either confused the function of law and morality or exaggerated the effectiveness of morality.

The first thing I want to clarify is that many moral behaviors can be legislated in social life because principles of law are actually derivations of morality. It can be proved throughout laws from all over the world. In China, behavior such as not supporting parents when children grow up is thought to be morally bad and relative laws are made to prevent its happening. And the most common characteristic of law in different countries that someone's behavior should not be harmful to others is essentially the base of moral behavior.

Moreover, even if the moral behavior cannot be legislated, it does not mean that they would actually bring in social problems or even assert that it is the origin of social problems. Just take political leaders for example, they could not show extremely honesty to the public, which in morality it may means not good and such behaviors cannot be legislated, but the result does not bring in any problems because it is necessary for them to do so and actually it does the nation good. And in daily life, if a hungry beggar was pushed out by the gateman of a restaurant, is the gateman's behavior morally good or bad? It is at least not good and his behavior does not show any disobey to law but is it his morally not-good behavior that makes the beggar hungry? Absolutely not and the essential causes of it come from many other aspects of life far beyond the morality's control.

Finally, the assertion stated by the speaker shows acquiescence in that if moral behavior can be legislated, the problems of modern society can be solved, however, it is an overconfident attitude to morality's power over society. We should know that morality is not always useful, and even the power of law and morality are combined together, there will certainly be problems beyond their control, especially when we meet the unknowns. For example, at the beginning of last century, nobody knows that uranium or such heavy metals or certain radioactive element is bad for human's health, could law and morality can prevent their leakage thus prevent their potential harm to people? It was impossible in fact. When people could not foresee that the discharge of daily home-use things could do great harm to our environment and finally bring us a big ozone hole, could law or morality can prevent them from happening? Actually speaking, when knowledge people have is too limited to predict everything's happening, items of law and morality which is only restricted in spirit could be extremely powerless.

Now that moral behavior can be legislated and it is not always powerful over everything in society, the assertion that problems of modern society cannot be solved by laws and the legal system because moral behavior cannot be legislated is totally unreasonable.

issue180 Many problems of modern society cannot be solved by laws and the legal system because moral behavior cannot be legislated

With more and more problems human beings encounter today（感觉怪怪的，with more and more problems facing us today,不要用human being吧）, people's perspectives come to abate on whether these problems can solve them and when they find out that laws cannot restrict some behaviors which are only morally bad but not illegal they begin to assert that problems of modern society cannot be solved by laws because moral behavior cannot be legislated. In my view, people who have this kind of thought have either confused the function of law and morality or exaggerated the effectiveness of morality.

The first thing I want to clarify is that many moral behaviors can be legislated in social life because principles of law are actually derivations of morality. It can be proved throughout laws from all over the world. In China, behavior such as not supporting parents when children grow up is thought to be morally bad and relative laws are made to prevent its happening. And the most common characteristic of law in different countries that someone's behavior should not be harmful to others is essentially the base of moral behavior.（举一个国家的例子似乎没什么说服力，你不是说many吗？或者改成law里面包含有morality的思想吧）

Moreover, even if the moral behavior cannot be legislated, it does not mean that they would actually bring in social problems or even assert that it is the origin of social problems. Just take political leaders for example, they could not show extremely honesty to the public, which in morality it may （这两个词去掉）means not good and such behaviors cannot be legislated, but the result does not bring in any problems because it is necessary for them to do so and actually it does the nation good. And in daily life, if a hungry beggar was pushed out by the gateman of a restaurant, is the gateman's behavior morally good or bad? It is at least not good and his behavior does not show any disobey to law but is it his morally not-good behavior that makes the beggar hungry?

重点可以再突出一点,第一个例子不错!加油呀!;P;P

嗯？不好意思，xiaowenzi,我没明白你的意思：
第一个例子不错，是哪个例子？
重点应该放在法律和道德的关系上，那应该怎么论述呢？我先开始第一段就想写他们各自作用目的不同，可是那能显示道德行为不能解决法律不能解决的问题么？（正因为不同，所以才有可能解决法律不能解决的问题）或者，能说明道德被法律化后能解决不能解决的社会问题么？就是我越想越混乱，所以干脆说道德可以被法律化了。

其实真的很混乱~  （暴汗~~）可以再点拨一下么？偶对政治很弱智地说~
