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.
------正文------
Laws, aiming at controlling people's behaviors for political groups to make society stable, are a social force playing an important in the development of society. Concerning laws, there are two types: just and unjust. Recently, some people maintains that it is responsible for every people in a society not only to obey just laws, but also to disobey the unjust laws. As far as I am concerned, people should obey the just laws, meanwhile, disobey the unjust laws by objecting without blood or violence.
On the one hand, people in a society due to laws' function of controlling people's behaviors in order to make this world in order and stable, should obey the laws. With just laws, we have a regulation and standard to define what is encouraged and what is forbidden. Therefore, individuals in a society know what should do, which results a society's order and stability. Consider, a country, without laws, will be a mess, because people there do what they want to do with no obligation and limit. History is fraught with such examples to prove that. In human's early society, there were few laws. People do everything following their hearts, no matter they would hurt others or not. Thus, robbing, stealing, and other dirty things always happened, which made people suffer a lot and push the society in an unstable state. As the society developed, people instituted many laws to regulate people's behaviors, even minds to calm and enhance the society. In this respect, it is necessary for people to obey the just laws.
On the other hand, unjust laws which may disappoint some people in the society, should be resisted or disobeyed not by force, but nonviolently. Laws, designed by the current political groups, are the tools of them to manage this country. They are more or less unjust for some people's interests because of their opposite political position. However, that does not mean we should overthrow those laws violently. Because, resisting laws by force can bring people a revolution, even horrible wars. In this respect, people will taste great sorrow and unhappiness. Thus, some people in the history advocated that people should resist unjust laws nonviolently. Gandhi is the case in point. Gandhi, the famous Indian politician, contributed his whole life to India's peace and stability. Although he found that laws in his country were unjust especially for the underclass, he still told his people not to disobey them by force. Because he could foresee how huge the sorrow people would taste and how terrible this country would be if they overthrew the existing laws violently. Thus, individuals in a society, should never resist the laws by force, for the sake of country's stability and people's happiness, but obey them by their lasting objection.
In conclusion, any individual, if he aims at long-term prospect and stability in his country,
should obey the just laws with his obligation, should disobey unjust laws through objecting without blood and force. Otherwise, people would have a disordered society full of criminals or have a horrible world with heart-breaking wars. |
