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."

When we encounter laws, the justice is always mentioned. People would like to judge an adjudgement just or unjust, but whether the standard they used to judge is as same as others or not remains a question. If the standard is different among each other, then how do we obtain the so-called justice? If all of us take such standards to determine our behaviors, we cannot live peacefully in the world, and the law, originally setted to restrict citizens behaviors, will also lose its power.
   Everyone wants to live in a just world, yet it is a pity that justice almost means distinct in peoples's hearts. Providing that each person follows the sounds from his or her own heart, the personal JUSTICE, to disobey and resist unjust laws (in their own mind), our society will be a mess. In order to prevent this problem from coming true, the government has to enact laws as a threshold to limit people's actions. The law represents the interests of most people -- yes, there is no perfect law with which satisfies everyone. There are two possible facets of laws: just to a part of person and unjust to the rest. For example, somebody against the law that allow abortion, euthanasia, or homosexuality. In their opinions, abortion is too inhuman to protect babies' life rights; euthanasia departs from human right; and homosexuality is harm to social ethics and morals. But others consider that, on the contrary, abortion defends women's rights; euthanasia refelects the respect to individual's free will, so as the homosexuality does. From this example we know that so-called absolute justice is actually not existed in the world, what we used is just a relative justice. Although justice is likely to blind, it is not stupid. Hence, whether the law is just is not the question for us to deal with, or the law will lost its original aims.
   The very function of law is to bring stability and order to the group of people that the laws are enforced upon. Take the army as an example, if the soldiers only obeyed orders what they think rational, but disobeyed orders they think irrational in the battlefield, then this army would not withstand a single blow, so did the laws. Thus, for a legal system to work for a society, the laws must be knowable, fair and implemented equally among the population.
   Actually, if there is obvious false in the existed laws, it should also be amended by the legislature. The laws of system, as in fact, is being perfected in this way. What we citizens should do is to offer suggestions during legislating before the law promulgated, and obey when it enacted. In addition, the law is adaptable and flexible in certain situations, places and times. Although the written rules of law must be fixed and seldom changed, the people that enforce the laws, as well as those who judge those who break the laws, have a certain amount of built-in discretion to see that justice is done.
   We certainly should do something to perfect our legal system, like offering opinions, but not the way to disobey it. The law is not rigid, if we make great effort to consummate it, I believe we all satisfied with the harmony society protected by the laws and more significant, the ethics and humanity.
