individuals were free to do whatever they wanted. To what extent do you agree or disagree？
From hierarchy society to modern society, laws are one of the most significant components to operate countries. However, I can’t totally support the proposal that individuals should give up all the freedoms to follow laws, even though I agreed that laws’ irreplaceable functions for society, and the reasons are the inextricable bond between laws and ethics and the collision between rules and freedoms.
Firstly, without laws, human society should be operated by spontaneous self-discipline, which is a relatively weak power compared with laws. In this hypothetical society, there is no organizations can supervise citizens’ behavior and punish unmoral one. Therefore, some citizens’, who don’t comply self-discipline, could exploit other people to satisfy themselves, and the world will be leaded into chaos. Hence, only ethics are implemented by authorities, which, in other words, to formulate laws to administrate society, can humans enjoy harmony.
Secondly, there are numerous regulations which erode human rights to achieve government goals. For example, Chinese government can observe and record every websites which are visited by citizens and block almost all the anti-government information in the name of laws. To explore the issue, governments announce the proposals to set laws in which process government are empowered to ignore human freedom to obtain government achievements. Furthermore, there is no promise that all the government goals are appropriate and fare to all the citizens.
To conclude, it’s disputable about the necessity of laws and regulations, whereas human freedoms should also be respected.
