写了一天,脑袋都想破了也榨不出什么来,好几次恨不得把前面写的那点儿全删了,可想想这个关总得过呀。 :mad: :mad:
烂烂的贴出来挨砖好了,免得我的脑袋被浆糊粘住了,别说结构,连论题也怀疑是不是偏了。
有谁写过的最好也贴上来参考参考吧。

Many problems of modern society cannot be solved by laws and the legal system because moral behavior cannot be legislated.
------正文------
We can certainly attribute many problems of modern society to the unlegislated morals. However, it is incorrect to say moral behavior cannot be legislated. In my point of view, it is appropriate to say that some problems of modern society cannot be solved by laws and the legal system because SOME moral behavior cannot be legislated.
Laws and legal system have embodied most moral standards within their structures and provisions. Laws and legal systems are constituted in accordance with the moral standards of the society, and regulate people's behavior at multiple levels in a very wide range. Laws prevent and punish immoral behaviors such as robbery, stealth, violence, unfair competition, appropriation of public asset, damage of other's property... They have clear rules for people to follow and suggest the consequence of breaking the rules. They function a lot in keeping the society in a relatively peaceful, orderly and steady state.
The development of laws and legal system always closely follows the actual need of regulating various moral behaviors which are increasingly vital to the society. From The Code of Hammurabi in ancient Babylon to the huge and complicated legal system in every modern society, laws go from the punishment to injuring of human body to the liabilities in commercial activities, from protecting the rights of women and children to protecting wild animals and circumstances, from charging pocket-picking to conviction of hi-tech crime, covering almost every respect of a society. They undoubtedly provide solutions to most social problems concerning morality of behavior.
Nevertheless, laws and legal systems cannot solve every problem concerning morality of behavior, since legislation has not yet found its way into some of the behaviors. Laws punish robbery, but cannot oblige those witnesses to help fight against the robber on the spot. Laws cannot force any passers-by to jump into the water to the rescue of a drowning boy. Some time ago, I read a news reporting that an man got a sudden heart attack in a bustling shopping mall during his tour in the country which was famous for its perfect legal system, and lied on the ground for more than two hours without anybody coming up to make an inquiry, no to mention offering any help, until a patrolman came over. Isn’t it really terrible when people only follow what the laws require and become apathy to anything else?
Fortunately, besides legislation, we also have other ways, though less forceful, to help strengthen the morality of the society. We celebrate heroes who go to the rescue in some crucial moments, give merits to those who have the courage to uncover some unknown evidences to the public, and at the same time condemn those immoral behaviors. In this way, the moral standards pass on from generation to generation and gradually become the brilliant tradition of a society. And maybe they will eventually find expression in some new laws some day.
In sum, laws and legal systems are based on moral requirements and regulate most moral behaviors, but cannot substitute morals. Social problems should be solved by laws and morality standards hand in hand. |
