„There are so many laws that no one is exempt from being hanged”
Napoleon Bonaparte
Law plays different parts in life of every person, it means distinctive things for each of us. Actually, law is a set of special legal rules, enforceable by the courts, regulating the government of a state, relationship between the organs of government and the subjects of the state, and the relationship or conduct of subjects towards each other. Actually, it is a rule or body of rules made by the legislature for keeping order in one state. The Law. Those two words may strike fear in the minds of many people living in today's society. The truth is that the law is not implicated to create fear or scare society's individuals. It is in place as a basis for society. Our society uses the law and law enforcement as the primary building blocks on which it is built upon. Without the law in place we would have no structure. It regulates protocol at various places of employment, ensuring that all employees are treated equally. It ensures our protection, whether it is personal or property, from injuries and damages. We use the law to conduct business every time we make a purchase. After every transactions there is a mutual agreement that money will be exchanged for the desired product. Although it is not written or verbalized, this could be considered a contract. Without the law, a contract would not be binding or valid. It's useless in a world with no law. Law is needed to keep the peace in a society where individual freedom is valued. Without the law, we would experience havoc and chaos. We need the law as it warrants order and stability within our society. It helps us to consistently base our
decisions on the patterns of social morality that we see within society. We conform to society's expectations. This is the act of abiding to the law. The reason that members of our society obey the law, on the most part, is to avoid punishment. We are deterred from breaching society's expectations by the punishments that misconduct holds. We are placed in positions which could humiliate us by committing a crime. Appearing in the local newspaper is just one example of humiliation. Paying a fine also helps to clear up the problem of disobeying the law. Probably (but doubtfully) history knows some examples when justice triumphed for the benefit of poor people. As an example let’s take the case of a good and law-abiding citizen who is trying to start a lawsuit against a very powerful and rich man. Do you think the offender will be imprisoned?? Very unlikely! Justice usually serves the highest bidder! I think that law can never be absolutely effective and fair because money can buy almost everything in the world. Laws are always insufficient because of human greed. Our realistic society is a heterogeneous mixture of all kinds of people, people that are looking to disturb the balance of the natural society. The Law plays a very important role in restoring that delicate balance back to the society and making the lives of the people living together cohesive. It helps in maintaining the morality of the people as individuals as well as the society as a whole. WHY IS LAW ESSENTIAL? Law is essential in the society. Law is there to guide the society towards happiness without bloodshed and in peace and harmony. Law helps us to restrain ourselves in times of great thirst for more money or power. It curbs our greed reminding us that there is someone or rather something out there ready to punish us if necessary. It helps to restore the balance in the society and bring justice to the victimized. The
greatest thing about law is that everyone is equal before it. No one is rich or poor in the eyes of the law. No one is more powerful than the other in the eyes of the law. Law helps to regulate the behaviour of the people. It prevents us from descending into anarchy. Law is dynamic. It is constantly adapting to the changing times so as to close all the loopholes that may be left due to human error. Our Preamble states the ideals of JUSTICE, LIBERTY, SOVEREIGNITY, FRATERNITY and EQUALITY which is the basic foundation of Our Constitution. However, without law these ideals will be constantly shattered. We couldn’t use anything in order to protect these ideals. In a world where 'survival of the fittest' is prevalent, and looking at the size of human population we can say only one thing. Law is needed for survival. We cannot go against each other as it will definitely lead to destruction. Law plants an element of fear which prevents from killing fellow human beings. It gives each one his own share, what they deserve.
WORLD WITHOUT LAW?. Let us imagine a world without any law to punish the wrong doer. Let us assume that the society has until now lived an honest life without any kind of betrayal. Suppose a person, in greed, steals a valuable item from his neighbour's house. He isn't punished but everyone knows what he has done. Some naive person, probably a youngster witnessed this and is tempted to steal because he knows there are no repercussions. This develops into a never-ending chain endangering the very foundation of the society.
Absence of law provides an opportunity to go against the general foundation of the society. It goes against one's conscience. The fear of punishment is absent which contributes to the growing confidence of the wrong-doer that he or she can get away with anything. This disturbs the balance of our civilized society encouraging more and more people to take to this habit.
CONCLUSION. It can be implied by common sense that law helps us to survive as a society and it is convenient. Convenient is comfortable and humans look for comfort above all things apart from happiness. Also law helps in getting rid of social barriers that exist in our society. Through law we survive yet thrive. Hence law is necessary in a society. However, hard people try, laws are always insufficient because people always start breaking and they are not punished, and it is beginning seemed to be resolved but it is still not solved after all the law has always been and will be respected by honest men, but one who does not respect will always be punished . Therefore no matter how much people would strive laws will not suffice.
