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."
May be you would argue that there is another type of laws between just and unjust, but the journey of human have told you not, for the laws have something to do with the morality, having two sides as laws. What we should do depends. At the first glance, disobeying is more glory and important, but obeying do more things for the human.
The classification of laws is correct. After long evolution, all of the sudden, human being pushed themselves over the threshold of innocence, sparsely knew what they should do and what they should not do, which is basically the virtue. Then after long journey to the modern society, something was forced to do, and something was forbidden to do. The force is laws, collectively organizing the people’s rights. The laws may be not correct, since the force may be abused sometimes. The government put the separation of white and black into the bill. Until 1960’s, discrimination of races has been forbidden by the law. Not only we can see the injustice of laws, but also we can the trace of laws if toward a good direction. From monkey to human, we became not just beautiful, but also reasonable. The force separates the virtue, which not force people to do something, and laws. And the truth divides the just laws, which contain right things, and unjust laws.
What we should do advised by the author is reasonable. Spare not only the force that is abused, but also the virtue which is misunderstood. This is to say, we should know the responsibility to do the right thing, obeying the law, in the same time, ignore the unjust laws, disobeying them. Yolanda was a black girl in Maryland. With the equal right, she could go to the school, which was consisted with white, near her house. But she could not, because local government forbade black child and white child study together. The school of black people was so far away. So, her family and other black families made the parades. After a long time, black people’s rights were almost got back, many unjust laws were mended, at the same time, just laws were founded. That’s the result of disobeying and resisting in a peaceful way. Looking back on the hard time of black people, comparing it with nowadays, we will know how it is important to fight against the irrational laws. We know we should choose the truth to do the right things, disobeying the wrong things.
However, obeying is more important than disobeying. If there is no law, we can do anything without persecuted, verse visa, we may hurt without protection. So there must be the laws to be obeyed. What’s more, it is the foundation of social order. (For example: Government asks people to drive on the right side of the road) Without law, there are no freedoms and no orders, since the things we do will be hindered by evil things all around; we may do the evil without control; we are not going to do the things efficiently. This is to say, no control, no freedom and no logic. Without freedom and logic, individual’s existence is meaningless. In our lifetime, time of obeying is far more than the time of disobeying and resisting, which almost fill in our time of breath and sleep.
Besides, it makes our normal life go peacefully and robustly. So, the obeying is more important. On the other side, obeying makes the society steadier. The steady society somehow can make the people mine their nature and talent more completely. So, obeying is more effective for the society and individuals.
We should understand the law and do the right thing. |
