Issue 17 "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.

This statement claims that laws can be categorized into just two types-just and unjust ones, and that every individual carries the duty to obey just laws and, as a member of society, to disobey and resist unjust laws. However, in my view, this statement actually holds an arbitrary partition, and presents a recommendation with potential harms.

In the first place, the fairness of certain laws, in practice, primarily depends on individual’s differing value system, while it is one of the goals of the law. The controversial issue—homosexual marriage, for example. Individuals with certain religious beliefs tend to view laws sanctioning this sort of combination as just, while others, who have different value view regarding homosexual marriage as unreasonable action, tend to define this law as unjust one.

Moreover, whether a law is just also relying on the various interest relationships. Consider, for example, the property and contracts laws that attempt to facilitate business activities. When some business case needs to resort to those laws, it is entirely and easily possible that the side which would subject to financial loss see these laws unjust. After all, this is not a sheer objective judgment involving our individual’s benefit.

However, another fundamental problem with this statement is that disobeying or resisting to the unjust law often gains some opposite effects of what hopes for. Always some of the citizens in any country consider the tax policies as unfair ones. Yet, the tax evasion behavior against the law, if brings financial crisis to the authority, will eventually lead the citizens to pay more for their own activities-such as education, health care, entertainment, and even infrastructure construction, and the forth..

Further, one more potential problem with this statement is that by justify a resistance to a sort of laws we actually render ourselves on a slippery slope toward sanctioning all types of irrational or unreasonable illegal behavior. As known to all of us, the major function of law is to maintain a peaceful, orderly, and a relatively stable society, and as members of this seamless circumstance, we individuals always benefit from the controlled world and, if we challenge those so-called unjust laws arbitrarily, law will no doubt to lose its initial coercive power for restricting our behavior and inhibiting crime. And therefore a society filled with chaotic proceedings and bullying will await for us.

To sum up, unlike the statement claims, the fairness of law in my view is a relatively subjective judgment. It largely relies on various personal value systems. Moreover, the disobedience to the unjust law can actually cause more potential harms to our society and also ourselves.
