It is not easy for people to reach an agreement on the attitude toward laws. Generally, I hold the same point of view as the statement that individuals have responsibilities to obey just laws and to disobey even resist unjust laws; although there are still problems to be considered when the statement is put into practice.
To begin with, it is everyone’s responsibilities to obey the laws. Radically, laws are the regulations that all the people in the society established【established by some people and admitted by all】. And just laws are the laws that may bring benefits to the whole society【the society as a whole, 避免和后面一句重复】, although benefits not to everyone.【although not benefit to everyone这里直接用benefit的动词形式要好一些】 Hence, to obey the laws is to bring good to the whole society, which is every individual’s responsibility. We take the business laws as an example. The business laws are constituted to limit the activities that merchants may involve in and it is comparatively just. Without business laws, most businessmen would do whatever they want to gain the profits and would bring great harm to the whole country’s economy system.【例子举得好像没有说服力。难道就因为business law 限制了商人的行为就说它是公正的?这样的话,任何一部法律都是公正的了。最好再进一步展开】
In addition, a more important responsibility of an individual is to disobey and resist unjust laws. Since laws serve the people who made it, there is no way in which we may guarantee that laws are just to everyone. There are three reasons to justify men’s disobedience against unjust laws. First, unjust laws tend to converge power and fortunes at a few people, who make the laws and hold the power of country; and this might lead to an unsteady society if it is left alone. This is proved by nearly all the revolutions and violent actions around the world, both nowadays and in history. Second, revolutions that are, in some way, caused by people’s resistance against unjust laws are great propulsions of the progress of civilization. From the Industrial Revolution happened in Britain to the French Revolution, both the two countries managed to create a new and better constitution and later become the most powerful countries in the world【感觉作者chienglish较浓,改成manage to become the most powerful countries by creating a new and better constitution 较通顺 】. Thirdly, according to the traditional viewpoints of Christian, all men are born equal, regardless of their races, genders or nationalities. Thus, it is quite reasonable for people’s being against unjust laws to fight for equality, the basic right that God favors us.
However, the validity of the statement should not blind us to the problems that may arise after we apply it to practice. One of the problems is the distinctions between people’s opinions on just laws and unjust laws. Since different people have different requests and attitudes to life, laws that are just in someone’s eyes might become unjust to others. For instance, the human rights that Chinese have are insufficient through Americans' eyes, as a result of different countries’ constitutions【不是因为两国的法律不同吧,而是tranditon、histroy、background condition、经济发展水平……种种因素的不同造成法制体系的不同】. Then Chinese laws become unjust, from an American’s point of view, while most Chinese don’t think so【the Chinese laws are of less justice from an American’s view 】. So it is quite significant to clarify the standard 【which can tell the difference between the just laws and unjust laws 】of just laws and unjust laws.
In summary, as a member of the society, everyone has a responsibility to make it better. One of the way of doing so is to obey the just laws and disobey the unjust ones. The problems sticking in the way will be solved as long as people keep on chasing their dreams for just laws, because it is not only the viewpoints people hold that matters, but also the development of the human civilization and society that demands. I would rather believe that it is everyone's duty and obligation to treat differently to just and unjust laws.
my views:作者逻辑清晰、语言简洁,论点明了,用简单的词语就把意思表达的比较清楚。这一点值得我学习。各方面的论据都考虑到了,但例证的说明不是很透彻,有点到为止的感觉,如果能再深入分析一些会更好。句子结构还是给人chienglish.常是几个短句中间用连词联结,】修改成复合句,更复合阅读习惯。
请教一下,怎么显示红色字体?我在word里修改后贴过来就是这个样子,看得不是很清楚。 |
