The author asserts that many laws and the legal system cannot solve many problems raised in modern society in that moral behavior cannot be legislated. The stated occasion does exist sometimes but as far as I am concerned, I hold the view that moral behavior are legitimate most times and thus can answer most problems raised in modern society.
Admittedly, in some circumstances, a certain relationship between morality and laws are not founded, therefore, laws and legal system does (do?) have difficulty in solving raised problems. The supporting examples may concern the holocaust in Nazi Germany during the Second World War. A German industrialist named Oskar Schindler illegally protected Jews working for him in Poland. On the other hand, however, German SS officer Klaus Barbie known as “the Butcher of Lyons” because of his work authorized by Nazi laws in occupied France during World War II was involved in deporting thousands of Jews to extermination camps in Poland and murdering members of the French Resistance movement. Both of the problems cited cannot be solved by laws and legal system in that era. In certain times and places, laws are disengaged from morality according to many kinds of reasons, not to mention solving problems raised.
For most times, laws and legal system react to the citizens' behaviors with the judgment provided by morality system. Homicide, stealing, dacoit, for instance, are all immoral activities and thus forbidden by laws. Another convincing example at hand involves a custom in Arab countries where the exposure of a woman's skin in front of a strange man is viewed immoral thereby being forbidden by the laws. On the other hand, however, a behavior allowed by laws is most (more?) likely to have no collision with the local morality system. What comes immediately to mind is in 2001 The Netherlands became the first country to legalize same-sex marriages, giving same-sex couples the same rights that heterosexual couples have depict the public accepted opinions to homosexuality. The pass of this law no doubtly depicts that there is no discrimination in Netherlands against homosexuality and give the appearing problem a certain answer. Simply put, in most circumstance, the law and moral system have the same judgment concerning human behavior by which the laws and legal system solve almost all kinds of problems raised.
Finally, although the modern society is accelerating its development paces and a host of problems are on the rise at the meantime, the laws and legal system is adjusting itself in order to solve the appearing problems on the basis of modern society’s moral system. A convincing example at hand is criminations on computers and through internet. All countries' legislation institutions are busy legislating against this kind of criminations and many laws successfully take into actions as a result. Therefore, even the laws are not capable to solve certain appearing problems, it will (be?) sooner or later. To support this point, we should take a look at Germany after the Second World War. The industrialist Oskar Schindler has received his honor from all over the world whereas Klaus Barbie was put into jail where he spends his later life. As time elapses, all things receive what it deserves before laws (the law).
As the case stands, in most times, the legislation keeps a compact contact with the moral sense hold by public therefore can solve most of the problems provided. With the quickening rhythm of modern society, the laws system must adjust itself to new changes and satisfy the demand of the development of the society in the direction of moral sense. No system can solve all problems validity but the laws and legal system can answer most of the questions raised in modern society.
法律面前人人平等中,使用的是BEFORE THE LAW:)
The law cannot make all men equal, but they are all equal before the law.
