我的观点比较保守
AW狂人社 第一次作业 Issue 17, 留链必回拍
TOPIC: ISSUE17 - "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."
WORDS: 517 TIME: 上午 12:33:39 DATE: 2007-3-5
Although to some extent there might be tow types of laws: just and unjust according to the statement, it is reasonable to claim that we have responsibilities to obey " just " law, while in my opinion it is irresponsible to ask everyone to disobey and resist the so-called "unjust " laws, of which the judgement standard that depends on the different personal value system is vague.
First of all, whether the law is just or not depends on the different mind and value system of the individuals, especially on some controversial issues, such as abortion, death penalty , human gene engineering and so on. After all, the individuals with particular religious beliefs tend to view laws that give women the right of abortion as unjust, and the individuals with strong faiths of human life and human rights will totally against the law allowing death penalty.
However, as we all know , the individual opinions on these hot issues still diverse nowadays. Accordingly, different people definitely have different categories of just and unjust laws. Worse still, that would be a huge disaster for the society if people disobey and resisted the " unjust " laws that they judged themselves , just following what the statement claims.
On the other hand, as far as I am concerned , it is by no means responsible to provoke the citizens to disobey and resist "unjust" laws. Significantly, it is definitely wrong to act against the society by disobeying an d resisting current laws, which results in the collapse of the society. Moreover, in the contract society , obeying the rules is quite essential for the development of our world, not only the laws and regulations, but also the business contracts.
As to the problems of the social or law reform, especially on some controversial issues , including what we mentioned above, it is absolutely common that people have different minds and values , since we live in the democratic society , which is what we are proud of . Nevertheless, the key point is that we should choose the proper way to express our unsatisfied feeling s, our criticism, and our suggestions appropriately, without violence and confusion in the society, even war.
Furthermore, we ought to use the legal method, such as lobbying, etc. to act under today's legislation institution , ought to endeavor to push the bills to change the laws, if we are pretty clear that the laws undermine the welfare of our society or block the development of our world, based on the well-being of our society.
To sum up, according to the different minds and values of different people , it is a mission impossible to figure out whether the laws are just or unjust without the judgement standard. Even people make it, which would be an enormous mess in our society for people to disobey and resist the "unjust " law by their own judgement and values .So, significantly, what I want to emphasize is that to express our feelings , criticism and suggestions under the current institution to make a more glorious and splendid future, rather than to disobey and resist. |
