Society is based on rules and laws. It could not function if individuals were free to do whatever they wanted to do. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is clear that our

society

is based on

rules

and

laws

. There are many

people

who think that it would not function if ones were to do anything they wanted to do. In my opinion, I partly agree with

this

statement for several reasons, which I would point out in

this

essay.

First

and foremost, with the set of

rules

and

laws

imposed by the government, the community are likely to live a peaceful life without any major troubles.

For example

, when the law limiting driving speed is conducted, the number of accidents and collisions on the streets has decreased, which saves a lot of

people

's lives.

Besides

, the citizens know which behaviours are acceptable in the

society

where they live in order to lead a good life.

Thus

, the more they comply, the happier they would be.

However

, I would contend that

this

would bring more harm than good. To illustrate, in some countries the government do not allow

people

to own a gun, which could be a good opportunity for a burglar to break into a house in an attempt to kill the owners and steal the property.

Additionally

, the

rules

and

laws

in some parts of the world are too loose for the citizens to abide by.

This

could be seen in Vietnam where the criminals,

such

as pickpocketing or murdering, usually take place but in the end, the offenders just pay a fine for what they have just done to the victims.

Hence

, there is no fairness or justice. In conclusion, while I agree that

rules

and

laws

set some standards for the

society

where

people

live, I believe that without any real restrictions the

society

will become worse than ever.
