反对speaker所说法律有公正与不公正的说法,过于片面,没有给出公正与否的界定,遵守或抵抗更是无从说起。
首先,界定法律公正与否都取决于人为的主观因素,然而,根据地区差异、文化背景的不同所导致的价值观不同会影响不同人之间对法律的判断。所以难以简单的定夺法律公正与否。
(比如,爱尔兰是信奉天主教的国度,禁止离婚。别的国度的人会认为这样很不公平,但信奉天主教的教徒则认为这是对爱情的忠贞,离婚就是犯下大罪,不得再接受洗礼。)
其次,公平与否应是随着时间的推移得出的,法律在经受历史的考验后方能证明其有效性,公平性。
再次,大众有权表达对法律的意见,但不能不遵守法律,法律是底线,是准则,是社会权威。个人的行为不能抵制法律,造成社会的不和谐。改善法律应有相关定法部门监督。
对这篇文章很不感冒呢....
写好了....终于憋了出来....
TOPIC: 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."

Law is a system of rules, shaping politics, economics and society in numerous ways and serves as a primary social mediator of relations between people. Just as Lady Justice represents, law is to give impartial trial and to be just. However, agreement can hardly be reached when people judging a law just or not. Therefore, to make the society live in harmony, it is crucial for citizens to follow the law and order no matter how they consider law.
Each person may hold an unique view on the fairness of a law. Their criteria in the judgment differ from each others since people from different countries share different social and cultural background or view on value. For instance, If you are a devout Catholic, you should not get divorced. Since Ireland is a country full of Catholics, people there may understand the rule as a way to show respect to love. Yet, people in Thailand can hardly agree with the law as plural marriage is very common in their traditional life. Due to the disparate cultural background, people from both country share extremely different view on marriage and both will judge the law in the other country as unfair.As a result, when people are judging laws impartial or not, they can not avoid being prejudiced, which means it is hard to judge laws by human strength.
Although human factors alone can not be the criteria judging the fairness of laws, whether the laws are unbiased or not can be found after the test of time. In ancient China, females, labeled as labor in a family, were not allowed to go to study or take part in imperial examinations. Only males have the opportunities to get successful status in the society. However, no females considered it to be unjust at that time, and they got accustomed to their lives. It had been a long time until the law was abolished. Nowadays, both females and males can have the equal opportunities to get educated or trained. After enduring the test of time, such a law turned out to be unjust in new period. So it would be better to let the time test the fairness of a law.
Since every law is the collection of rules imposed by authority, people who disobey it will be punished by force of law. Therefore, it is advisable for everyone to obey all the laws and offer a proposal to promote the seemingly biased laws instead of resist them. If every citizen turns an blind eye to laws, the public security order will be poor and an overall smooth development of a society can never been achieved. Nevertheless, the concerning legislative branch should not overlook what citizens suggests. They must take everything useful into consideration and make an impartial conclusion in order to prove current laws.
To sum up, whether a law is biased or not can no easily be determined by people themselves, so it will be unreasoning to take resistance movements against current laws. Obeying law and order should be high on the list to ensure the public security order in a society.

with the law as plural marriage is very common in their traditional life. Due to the disparate cultural background, people from both country share extremely different view on marriage and both of them will judge the law in the other country as unfair.
As a result, when people are judging whether the laws are impartial or not, they can not avoid being prejudiced and preferring what benefits them. That is to say, it is hard to judge laws by human strength.
Although human factors alone can not be the criteria judging the fairness of laws, whether the laws are unbiased or not can be proved
by the test of time. In the ancient China, females, labeled as labor in a family, were not allowed to go to study or take part in imperial examinations. Only males have the opportunities to enjoy successful status in the society. However, no females considered it as unjust at that time, and they got accustomed to their lives. It had been a long time until the law was abolished. Nowadays, both females and males can have the equal opportunities to get educated or trained. After enduring the test of time, such a law turned out to be unjust in new period. So the passing time and history can be the best tester.
However, some people will disobey or restrict the current law as they think the law is biased, which may break the present law system. Since every law is the collection of rules imposed by authority, people who disobey it will be punished by force of law. It is advisable for everyone to follow all the laws and offer a proposal to the legislative branch if there seems to be some biased laws. When every citizen turns a blind eye to laws, the public security order will be poor and the overall smooth development of a society can never been achieved. What’s more, the concerning legislative branch should not overlook what citizens suggests. They must take everything useful into consideration and make an impartial conclusion in order to prove current laws.
To sum up, the standard of biased and unbiased laws is not a straightforward issue. No matter how people consider laws, obeying it should be high on the list to ensure the public security order in a society. On the premise of that, both citizens and the legislative branch should work together to set more effective laws.
