"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."
------------提纲----------
否定态度。
1,法律不可以简单的就化为公平和不公平。不是立即就能判断,有些时候还是由于人们自己根据个人原因判断的。堕胎。
2, 法律不是一成不变的。正义还是非正义会随人的观点的变化而变化。
3,一味的抵制所谓的不公平的法律可能会带来对社会不利的结果。
--------------正文--------------
The speaker claims that, based on the fact that there are only two types of laws: just and unjust, every social individual has a responsibility to comply with the just laws while to disobey and resist unjust laws. At the first glance, such a statement seems to be reasonable, however, further weighing shows that it is extreme and rash. As well as some mistakes in conception, undue emphasis on resisting so-called unjust laws might create negative consequences to individuals and the society.
Whether a law is just or unjust cannot be defined as a straightforward topic. The fairness or the unfairness of any law to some extent depends on the individuals’ personal inclination. There is a compelling illustration to explain my view. Whether women have the right of abortion becomes an overwhelmingly controversial in today’s world, as this technique is achieved. And this situation Advocates of abortion believe that it is women that have to suffer all the consequences of the pregnancy, and they should be protected especially when the pregnancy results from incest, rape, or when the mother’s life is in danger. However, the anti-abortionists exclaim that killing the fetus amounts to murder. This situation requires great effort of human beings to give a fair and acceptable redefinition of right and wrong since this issue will have considerate impact on the justice of law, right of women, social stability, and morality. In short, the fairness of any law is somewhat subjective, depending largely the personal religion, interest, and maybe social position.
What is more, the law is changing at the step of the development of the society and the perspective of individuals. On the one hand, some laws defined initially as just to people’s mind, turn out to be unjust. One needs look no further than the military use of the atom bomb. People advocate firstly the use of it as a result of its committing to America's policy of gaining military superiority over the Japanese and the Germans, however, its considerate productive atomic energy do more harm to the livings than good and lead to the world-wild sound of resisting this unjust behavior. On contrary, some laws is actually just while is considered at first glance unjust by many people. For one supporting example, the law regulating the toxic effluents from the factory seems unjust to the profits of the factories, the income of the nearby citizens, and the revenue of the local government, nonetheless in the long run it will satisfy all the human-beings as a result of the benefits of the law to the health of the local people, the innovation of the factories, and the more revenue of the government. From the discussion above, we can understand one essence of the law in change more deeply.
People’s undue resisting of the in their mind unjust law will lead to negative consequences to the individuals and the society. For one thing, it will destroy the democracy of the whole society. Since having the democracy in the freedom of region, people hold different views about the fetus and the law against any side will lead to the social chaos, which may play a detrimental part in the regulation of the society. What’s more, unreasonable resisting will to some extent make unstable the government policies, which should largely satisfy the public voice and requirement.
In sum, I strongly disagree with all what the speaker say. In one place, it is rash to define justness or unjustness of the law, which depends, in my view, largely on the personal understanding or interest; in another place, the law itself is changing all the time with the development of the society; in addition, detrimental effectiveness will de create when we act what the speaker claims “obey just laws and disobey and resist unjust laws”. |
