------题目------
There are two types of laws: just and unjust. Every individual in a society has a responsibility to obey just laws and, even more importantly, to disobey and resist unjust laws.
------正文------
The statement asserts that every individual ought to obey just laws and disobey unjust laws. It seems persuasive and reasonable to resist unjust laws, yet unfortunately such action is rather harmful than brave.
Laws, codes that have been conducted by customs, agreements, and authorities, act as standards for social activities. They are not only simple rules, but also contracts made between one and another, residents and government, as well as people and society. The justice of laws depends on inhabitants' moral views. Laws coinciding with people's opinions are regarded as just ones, while others conflicting with people's opinions are considered unjust ones. As a result, such properties of laws vary from time to time, from region to region, and from culture to culture.
Allowing people to disobey laws, whether just ones or unjust ones, will cause unimaginable problems to human civilization. Permitting the action of disobeying laws will damage the authority of the entire law system. When parts of laws are permitted to be resisted, the rest ones cannot be expected to be respected. Furthermore, resisting laws means break the original promises, which have been given by oneself to one's community, nation, and society, and thus gradually destroy the basic fundament of credibility and reliability. If laws cannot be respected, people will lose their activity standards. If vows cannot be maintained, people will eventually have to live in a society undependable. Taking resisting activities for granted will induce such severe results that them can possibly threaten the basis of human society.
However, while unjust laws cannot be disobeyed or resisted, it is also unnecessary to obey such laws exactly. Being against people's contemporary views and opinions, obeying such laws accurately will certainly create arguments and complaints, or even more intense problems. Therefore, such laws can be neither disobeyed nor obeyed. This conclusion seems absurd and bizarre, but actually, besides obeying and disobeying, people do have others methods to deal with unjust laws, by virtue of human beings' wisdom and knowledge. Laws are authorized codes, but they are no more than written words. People must respect laws, but it does not mean that they cannot invent additional descriptions. Just as a well-known story presented in one of Shakespeare's works, when a merchant insisted that one pound of meet should be cut down from a man's body according to their contract, the judger neither ignored the contract nor allowed it to be conducted. Instead, the judger pointed out that the merchant should only cut down one pound of meet without any blood or skin, and finally made the unjust contract meaningless. In this way, without damaging the authority of laws, people still have managed to avoid conflictions between codes and their morality. Unjust laws are modified peacefully and efficiently, and eventually become ineffective. In fact, this is the most useful method to deal with unjust laws, and has been widely used to contribute to the development of law system ever since the beginning of human codes.
In conclusion, though it is unwise to obey unjust laws, the statement is too arbitrary to conclude that disobeying such laws is an individual responsibility. While obeying just laws, people should also respect unjust laws, otherwise they will lose social activity standards and even destroy basic credibility as well as reliability. Other than obeying or disobeying, people have extra methods to modify unjust laws peacefully and efficiently. Thanks to human beings' wisdom, the law system is able to be improved without losing its authority. |
