17 "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." 有两种法律：公平的和不公平的。社会中的每个人都应该遵守公平的法律，更重要的是，不遵守或者违抗不公平的法律。
Positon:赞成上述观点
提纲：
1.对于公平的法律，我们显然需要去遵守，是维护社会的秩序的基石，例如交通法规。
2.对于不公平的法律，我们更应该不遵守或者反抗以保证维护的正义，例如希特勒二战期间屠杀犹太人的法律。
3. Every individual has some other ways to amend these laws instead of offending the laws which may cause some sacrifices.除了不遵守和反抗，我们可以有其他的方法去发对不公平的法律。
4.公平与不公平还有一个标准问题需要考虑。（本来我觉得本题的焦点应该在这里，可以大做文章，但由于材料难找和论证难，还是在这里稍微提一下好了。）
------------------------------------正文-----------------------------------------------
There are two types of laws: just and unjust. Fundamentally, I tend to agree with the speaker's idea. If the law is just, it is no doubt that every individual is required to respect and obey it at any time. But if the law is unjust, the issue becomes controversial: as talked in the statement above, people should disobey and resist unjust laws.

First of all, admittedly, most of laws are just, so we are bound to obey most laws, especially just laws. Ever since individuals began to associate with other people -- to live in society --laws have been the glue that has kept society together. For example, the law in Canada states that we must drive our cars on the right-hand side of a two-way street. If people were allowed to choose at random which side of the street to drive on, driving would be dangerous and chaotic. We need just law to ensure a safe and peaceful society in which individuals' rights are respected.

However, it is true that there are or were many unjust laws in the world, which may break the regulation of the ethics of human society and make laws lost their function. As for the unjust laws, what we should do is to disobey and resist them in order to maintain justice and order in society. Here is a telling example to illustrate the situation. During the World War Two, the Nazi legislated a law in which helping Jew hide and giving a hand to help Jew abscond are both illegal, and if you commits this law, you will still be arrested and may be sentenced to death. This law was so unjust that many German resisted the laws by using their power or social connection or money to help Jew to escape to other contiguous countries covertly. Among these great German, there was a famous person called Scindler who saved thousands of Jew’s lives.

In addition, every individual has some other ways to amend these unjust laws instead of offending the laws which may cause some sacrifices. Let me take Abraham Lincoln, who is the 16th president of USA, for instance. Before the Civil War, the laws in the south of the America permitted the white farm owners to have the black people as their private slaves. Obviously, these laws were unjust laws. While a majority of blacks found no way to fair and square, they elected Abraham Lincoln as the president of USA, who destroy the unjust laws in the south of the America and leaded to the liberation of black slaves. What's more, legislation and constitution amendment are feasible approaches to resist unjust laws.

In summary, taking into account all the factors above-mentioned, it is not difficult to draw the conclusion that every individual in a society must obey just laws and disobey or resist unjust laws. But it is not easy to distinguish "unjust" from "just" because of individual bias, perspectives and interests.

There are two types of laws: just and unjust. Fundamentally, I tend to agree with the speaker's idea(in this statement). If the law is(laws are) just, it(there) is no doubt that every individual is required to respect and obey it(them) at any time. But(?) if the law is unjust, the(this) issue becomes controversial: as talked(discussed) in the statement above, people should disobey and resist unjust laws.
(首先审题是个问题,这个题目的意思是有那么个暗含的前提,就是我们有能力去判断just or unjust的法律)

呵呵,小女子个人愚见~仅供参考~大家共勉~
