Society is based on rules and laws. If individuals were free to do whatever they want to do, it could not function. To what extent do you agree or disagree with the above statement?

Rules

and

laws

are the basis of most modern-day societies. Some

people

believe that

society

could not function if

people

were free to do as they please. I partly agree with

and will discuss the issue in the following essay. Many

people

fear that

society

would deteriorate into chaos if there were no

rules

or

laws

Use synonyms

in place to control

’s behaviour. They believe that

rules

Use synonyms

and

laws

Use synonyms

exist in order to set boundaries so that

people

behave in a way

that is

conducive to a peaceful and functioning

society

Use synonyms

. I believe

this

is true to a certain extent.

For example

Linking Words

, if there were no

laws

Use synonyms

or

rules

Use synonyms

, and

therefore

Linking Words

no police to enforce those

rules

Use synonyms

,

then

Linking Words

a certain number of

people

may try to take advantage of

such

a situation and some upheaval may result as a consequence.

However

,

this

would only be temporary, as I believe that the majority of human beings are good

and would ultimately unite against those who were causing distress to the rest of

society

, once again resulting in a peaceful state.

However

Linking Words

, I do believe that the amount of

laws

Use synonyms

and

rules

Use synonyms

that

people

Use synonyms

are subjected to in most modern-day societies causes more harm than good. Most

laws

Use synonyms

and

rules

Use synonyms

these days benefit a minority of

people

Use synonyms

, while the majority are still being affected by the very

rules

Use synonyms

and

laws

Use synonyms

that are there to protect them.

For example

Linking Words

, in many

countries

it is illegal to own a gun.

However

Linking Words

, when a criminal breaks into their home and attempts to murder them with a dangerous weapon, they are unable to defend themselves effectively.

Furthermore

Linking Words

, many

rules

Use synonyms

and

laws

Use synonyms

these days favour the rich and oppose the poor.

That is

Linking Words

why in most countries the gap between the rich and poor is getting bigger and bigger. In conclusion, I believe there only needs to be one universal law, “Do no harm to others”. The innate goodwill and intelligence of human beings will naturally create the most peaceful and productive human societies possible, without the endless amounts of unnecessary

rules

Use synonyms

and

laws

Use synonyms

of today.
