We all live in a society constrained by laws, which is produced on behalf of most people's interests. Laws cannot be fully considerate because its functions make it a normal standard rather than a systematic standard so it cannot be perfectly improved and thus has defects definitely. It is unreasonable to divide laws to just and unjust, just stands for everything that is right while unjust represent for something that is dirty, mean or something like these. Considering laws' functions we can see that they are ways of pursuing just so that we must obey no matter reasonable or unreasonable.

To begin with, every person must obey the reasonable laws. For instance, except for self-defense, no people are allowed to murder people. The laws have already taken consideration the methods to deal with those who are so odious that we need to take them to prison or even kill them to guarantee a peaceful circumstance of the society. Some laws are concerning the fairness of the competition, like for business people, political leaders and so on. They are not allowed to make money by defalcation, cheating, or they will be sentenced and maybe spend some years in jails since they manufacture the chaos of the society's order. Laws are made to satisfy most people's behalves so that we must obey.

From the other hand, the laws which are thought unreasonable are still needed to obey. Like the law restrictions set on the euthanasia—way like self-killing to people. On the one hand, to the patient, it is a way to get rid of the painful illness but to the patient’s relatives, it may be so cruel to the patient, and they will be so heartbreaking if the patient does so. On the other hand, some patients who do not want their relatives spend so much time and money on seems incurable diseases so that they think of ways to end their lives. This is unfair to patients as well as their relatives, since they care the patients so much that they want to try every method to prevent the patients from dying. Even some laws are kind of unreasonable, but they have their reasons, so we should obey them.

Laws are produced in different regions of the world with different standard and it can be modified to be the best. For instance, according to the laws, in France young people are allowed to get married after 15 years old while the China allows its young people to get married when they reach 20 years old or more. This distinction of the laws based on the customs and ideas of the certain religion, in this way, we can see laws are modified differently in order to meet various demands.

To sum up, we should obey the laws, since they are produced on behalf of the majority of people's interest. No matter reasonable or unreasonable, they are just a relatively conception, laws are always modifying with the trends, so they are the best way to solve problems for us at least now.
