Issue 178
题目:
It is possible to pass laws that control or place limits on people's behavior, but legislation cannot reform human nature. Laws cannot change what is in people's hearts and minds.
文章:
Nowadays, laws not only put restriction on people’s behaviors, but also protect people from being infringed. As the product of the society, laws have come through a way from faulty to mature. Undoubtedly, they have gradually changed people’s hearts and minds as a criterion that measures people’s behavior.
Ever since the society came into being, laws have made the world different from the natural one. Far away from the ancient time when people remain in an uncivilized stage, the weak groups were killed by the strong ones which finally controlled the society and formed their own country. To ensure their government, they set up the regulations for better control of the public, at that time, laws were only the tools for the controlling authority。In some sense, laws are the embodiment of people’s minds and hearts.
As the development of the civilization and the democracy,law systems have been better improved and became more mature and flexible。In most of the democracies,laws represent the rights of the majority。People are securely living under the protection by legal system, they do not feel nervous as it was in the ancient time,all their private properties and personal rights are well ensured, once they got violated, they will resort law to punish the violators. On the contrary, for those wrongdoers, it is no longer a world that they can do what ever they want to do, they need always consider if it would break the law or not before take action. People are awed by the power of the laws. More and more learners devote to law research to improve the legal system; more and more students choose law as their major to protect their surrounding world.
Breadthwise comparing from the angle of geography,laws are not consistent in different countries, each country has their own legal system, some items that are illegal in this country but legal in that country. Apparently, people from Las Vegas would differ a lot with the people in other countries regarding gambling and strip shows. From this, we can see people’s viewpoint, criterion of thinking and behavior are deeply affected by laws.
To sum up, It is laws that help the society walking from barbarism to civilization, as the criterion of people’s behavior, laws not only place limits on people’s behavior, they also change people’s minds and hearts, to some extent, laws reform human nature. |
