Issue17 "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."
翻译：有两种法律：公正的和不公正的。每个社会成员都有责任遵守公正的法律，但是更重要的是，更应该不遵守和反抗不公正的法律。

**********************************************************
提纲
（1）首先很难判断哪个公平的和不公平的，因人而异，因各个阶层而异
（2）法律是强制性的，即使对某个公民不利，也要去遵守，如果不的话，社会就会乱起来。
（3）当然, 在以前可能有极端情况的发生。
Nowadays, all the societies and every individual in the world must obey the existing laws. Laws are so widespread to the extent that one wonders whether the world would be the same if they are not around. However, some people assert that laws can be divided into two types: just and unjust. And they suggest every individual should take the responsibility to reject the unjust laws. The opinion seems rational in the first glance, yet it can not resist the careful scrutiny.
To begin with, I suspect that laws can be clearly divided into two groups. In such a complex society, nobody can take it for grant that this law is harm for society. The story varies from different people, but laws should be set for the entire society. It is not possible and not necessary for the lawmakers to take all the need of every citizen in mind. By doing so, laws can eventually stabilize the whole society. Under this situation, chances are that a number of individual would consider this kind of law as unjust. Take China as an example, in the early 1990s, a series of laws, which are obviously inclined to the city construction, ignores the needs the farmers. If at that period, the farmers follow the statement, then the nowadays prosperity, which in turn largely raise farmers' income, in china would never come into reality. Laws may be unjust in a short term, but may turn out to be just in the long term. If everyone is too allergenic to the so-called unjust and merely too afraid to lost their interest, then any progress in the society would never take place. we need look no further than the collapse of Enron, once the biggest energy firm in America. Skilling, the former CEO of Enron, encouraged the employees to take action without notifying their bosses. Gradually, the employees tended to be in defiance of the normal company regulations, and could freely, maybe arbitrarily, do as they wished to, leaving the authorities of the managers in the dust. Obviously, when the behaviors of the employees were out of control, the efficiencies of the companies would be lowered.By the same token, if every people would break law as they like, then the efficiencies of the society would also be lowered or even collapsed.
Even if laws are truly unjust to the most part of society, we also cannot disobey them or resist them. We should resort to the other road to express ourselves. We can appeal to the or even sue the government, which are both encouraged in the democratic society. Just as the proverb says: everybody can only add a rung to the ladder, but together we can climb to the moon, although the individual voice is limited, together we can attract the goverment's attention to the unjust laws and eventually take the corresponding action to change the laws.
Admitly, in some extreme situation, we should disobey the law or even resort to the violence to break the laws. But this situation can only happen in ancient age. Modern society always has better alternatives.
Take all the factors into consideration, as a citizen; we should follow the constitution to obey laws.

Nowadays, all the societies and every individual in the world must obey the existing laws.

However, some people assert that laws can be divided into two types: just and unjust. And they suggest every individual should take the responsibility to reject the unjust laws. The opinion seems rational in the first glance, yet it can not(cannot,要注意哦，上次就犯了同样的毛病) resist the careful scrutiny. （这个开头我怎么觉着写的像argument?）

(我不太赞成你的观点。你说法律可能在短期是不公平的，但在长期是公平的。好像逻辑性不强，别人也不太容易相信。我认为法律是不能用公平或不公平来划分的。公平是法律的最终目标，法律也一直在朝公平的方向努力。法律和公平的关系应该是这样的。一点拙见：)
再就是你这段能分成两段写吗，好像做一段太长了

Even if laws are truly unjust to the most part of society, we also cannot disobey them or resist them. We should resort to the other road to express ourselves. We can appeal to the or even sue the government, which are both encouraged in the democratic society. Just as the proverb says: everybody can only add a rung to the ladder, but together we can climb to the moon（这句话挺新颖的。挺好！）, although the individual voice is limited, together we can attract the government’s attention to the unjust laws and eventually take the corresponding action to change the laws.

Admittedly, in some extreme situation, we should disobey the law or even resort to the violence to break the laws. But this situation can only happen in ancient age.(我觉得这句话也有些极端) Modern society always has better alternatives.

法律方面的不太好写呀，我也提不出什么好的建议和修改方案，只能说哪些方面看着比较别扭。有改错的地方请你不要介意。我法律很弱的
