"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." 题目分析：法律有公正有不公正之分，我们要遵守公正的，最终要的是要反抗不公正的
提纲：
1）首先没有明确的界限在公正与不公正的法律之间，因为…相同的法律对不同的个人，不同的团体，不同的宗教等等来说可能就既是公平的又是不公平的。堕胎，安乐死       同性恋
2）其次从法律制定的目的出发来看，当然是在现在民主的以人为本的社会，法律应该是公正，所以我们应该遵守  比喻军队-国家  军令军规-法律  军人-我们  作战-社会稳定与繁荣，人民安居
3）但是法律有其局限性，作用范围，时效性等等，这是法律本身的属性决定的，这就要求立法人员要及时的对相应的法律做出修改，及时保护大部分人的利益。

Laws, body of discipline and regulation, established by a country, an institution, or a group, are indispensably and inevitably crucial to their stability, development and prosperity. In a sense, without laws, a country would not to be a country any more, which is the same to an institution and a group. Concerning the nature and initial goals of laws, however, I do not agree with the speaker’s assertion that laws can be divided into two types-just ones and unjust ones, and every individual is incumbent to abide by just ones while disobey and resist unjust ones. Now let me illustrate my opinion in detail.

To begin with, whether a law is just or unjust if more of a subjective issue that differs according to personal interests, personal status, as well as personal value system. Consider, for example, the controversial issue-euthanasia. Concerning the people who suffering from a terrible disease or in the state of unconsciousness, which makes them would rather to die yet disabled to do so, some people assert that we should help them to end this adversity, however this assertion flies in the face of the inborn right that all human beings have. Meanwhile comes another divergence; that is, whether to legislate new laws to restrict abortion. According to different definitions of when the lives is coming into being, one group of people who believe lives come to exist at the very beginning of the formation of germ cell claim that abortion is equal to homicide, while another group who think lives come into being when they are born that abortion is legal right of women. Similarly, homoerotism, as a sin which the Christ cannot abide, is gradually treated as legal by more and more countries’ laws. Consequently, no definite line exists between just laws and unjust ones-what seems to be just ones to some people, however, is unjust towards others.

Furthermore, according to the nature and initial goals of every law, it is difficult to judge them as unjust one, of course, in democratic countries. More often than not, laws are made not at someone’s will but to protect the majority’s interests. In this respect, every people have the responsibility to observe laws, which is the premise for the stability, development, and prosperity of a country or a group. Let me take a troop as an example. In this special group all soldiers including generals are demanded to abide by the disciplines-the prerequisite of victory. If soldiers fail to do so, the outcome would be unimaginable-a complete defeat maybe coming at the beginning of a battle. Accordingly, the observance of laws should be placed an important emphasis, which promise a stable world and well-being society in which we human beings live.

However, it is indisputable that everything-including laws-has its inborn limitation, which can be easily understood. Simply put, laws are somewhat outdated or obsolete; that is, laws are made according to the problems existing now or in the past, which may not happen again. Fortunately, however, the human nature, which changes slowly although the world is advanced in a breathtaking speed, determines most laws are efficacy in a long term in the future. With respect to the outdated laws, the legislature should instantly emend them in order to serve the majority and the just. Moreover, every sort of action placing public security in danger should find a well established excuse if every individual is allowed to disobey and resist unjust laws in their discretion.

To sum up, from what have been discussed above, we may safely draw a conclusion that laws, which, to certain extent, are in accordance with game theory, stand firmly to protect the people’s basic interests-the request of a promising country. At the same time, concerning the accelerating speed of social development and the limitation of human’s foresight of the future, laws should be flexible enough to keep pace with the changing societal condition insofar as this proposition is not overextended.
