65. Every individual in a society has a responsibility to obey just laws and to disobey and resist unjust laws.


Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the claim. In developing and supporting your position, be sure to address the most compelling reasons and/or examples that could be used to challenge your position.



Is it reasonable for us to be committed to just law while to disobey unjust laws? The speaker claims so, for the reason that human who design the law is far from perfect could err, rendering the laws flaw. I agree insofar as that there indeed exist some unfair laws. At the same time, however, whether the law is just or not fails to be the criterion to decide if it should be inviolate.


Initially, some people might challenge that laws based on racial discrimination should be resisted, for it betrays the famous notion that every born to be equal. Slavery in the United States before the American Revolutionis a case in point, which deprives the Black from proper rights to be educated, to be respected and to gain rational salaries. However, even if the law is flawed, the amendment job belongs to those federal regulators to correct it instead of every individual in a society. In fact, if a law is dubious, these government officials may notice much earlier than the ordinary due to their systematic knowledge of laws and clairvoyance of the laws. The correct attitude toward the flaws of established laws is to reflect them to the legislators through proper way. Only in this mild way could social regulations be improved appropriately and we maintain our right to the most and without imprudence.


Other people, moreover, are likely to argue that human beings are born with nature to berate unjust behavior no matter it is a law or a moral issue. To be specific, historically when people were suffering disaster-like foreign invasion or colonial government, there must be an outstanding figure to offer them faith and lead to fight for freedom, such as Joan of Arc, Gandhi. People who believe that opinion, nevertheless, overlook the key essence to support it-the definition of just. Justness is a concept with relativity that different individuals may view the same law with opposite opinions, owing to their religion, statue, etc. which means that whether a law is justice cannot be precisely judged by the ordinary individuals in the society.


Ultimately, and perhaps the most importantly, it might be challenged that obeying an unjust law will generate the turmoil in the society. An apt example involves the history that Hitler established several tyrannical laws in the World War Two, under the practice of which quantities of Jews are killed. However, crucial government legislations do by no means indicate all flawed laws. Since laws have become the cherished and established rules in our society, running against them is more likely to cause tragic. Regard everyone as a tree in the garden, then the laws is like the gardener who pollard redundant leaves and twigs in order to restrict these trees’ growth in a certain way, thus helping them grow healthily and properly. As a result, if any action of disobeying so-called unjust laws from his or her perspective, the whole society would undoubtedly come into chaos. For these matters, in order to maintain social order, we ought to obey some laws which we regard as unjust in our own aspect.


To sum up, no matter whether laws are just or not, violating them will to some extent cause more problems. The optimal approach is to reflect the flaws in laws to the federal governors rather than disobey them directly.

一定再要附上提纲啊。
be committed to just law？
The speaker claims so, for the reason that human who design the law is far from perfect could err, rendering the laws flaw。我想这个reason是你自己杜撰的而不是speaker的，你要改下。
我交流下我的提纲吧
1.有些基本的法律，比如保护每个人基本权利的法律，保护儿童老人等的法律，对绝大多数人是公平的，必须遵守。
2.有些具 体的法律，可能因为文化背景习俗、宗教信仰、经济发展程度的差异和不平等，造成了某种不平等，但这不能成为不遵守的理由，只能通过发展经济和教育宣传等等 来让人们接受。
3.一部法律，由于立法人本身的局限，或者随着时间的推移，会跟不上社会文明的发展，因而也会出现不平等，这些需要立法人即使修改法律，而 不是靠不遵守和抵制。
4.最后，任何法律，一旦出现不遵守的现象，就会变成一纸空文，失去效力，不利于社会秩序的维护和人的权益的保护。
