Effects of Laws and Orders

Select any issue that is of importance to you and discuss and your views (New College of University of South Florida)

Have you thought about that if law and order is disappeared? It will be big problem in society as homicide, theft and crime would happen, because the nature of humankind is sinful. If we do not have rules, our natural character is revealed as evil. We cannot do right thing by our selves, so rules are necessary for us. The play ‘Lord of flies’ proves this through the boy’s behavior on the island. Also hurricane Katrina is good example that why we need for law. 

Humans do not like it when someone becomes better than them. They crave to be greater than each other even if it means hurt other. In Lord of Flies, Ralph was nominated as leader by the boys on the island, but Jack was jealous because he wanted to be captain. He did not accept Ralph as the chief and would do his own thing.  Later, he brings his chorus and leads the hunt as they kill the pig to eat. After killing the pig, they suspend the pig’s head on a spear and paint the blood of it on their skin joyfully. They enjoy it. This could be because Jack wants to be the head, but in his inner heart, there was that did not want Ralph to become the leader as he would get being more favor than him. Jack displays a mental state of humans that does not accept being loser. This is innate of humans.

Lord of the Flies shows that humankind is evil. The boys on the island made rules to keep a fire burning so it would be seen by a passing ship, but Jack and his hunters broke their promise and hunted for pigs. Instead while they were hunting, the fire went out and then, an airplane flew over the island, so they missed the opportunity of being rescued. Ralph was very angry. He fights with jack and they become enemies. If the fire was kept, alight the airplane would have seen it, and they would have been rescued. This event shows us that human act as they wish and disobey the rules. Also people are violent. Through this event, we can know see the selfish nature of humankind and now we do not like to listen to other people’s opinions.

When law and order is not enforced, nature human is revealed. Hurricane Katrina is good example of this. This event occurred in September, 2005. It caused much chaos as so many people lost their families, houses, property, food, and they had nothing. Thousands of people helped to rescue them, but even then some shot at the rescue helicopter. The crime in the city increased as policemen in the city were not able to do their job. They were too busy trying to survive. Human have to be controlled by law and order, because if laws do not guide us, we will be insane like this event. When people collide with affliction, they became worried about themselves, do not feel uneasy about others. It displays that we have to be regulated by society. Law occupies a lot of rate that we do right thing. If we do not have the motivation of law compulsion, we cannot do the correct things naturally. So, we have a duty to obey the law.

As I mention before, I think that laws and orders do help us to do right things as people, and when they are banished, we tend not to care about right things
