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?

Societies are complex structures that rely on

rules

and

laws

to maintain order. The idea that a society could not function if individuals were free to act as they pleased is a compelling one, and I largely agree with it, but at the same

For example

, Singapore's stringent

have made it one of the safest countries in the world with a very low crime rate. The well-functioning legal system has

promoted economic development.

Conversely

, the abundance of

could lead to a situation where the population cannot express their views and could even be persecuted and punished for it. In North Korea,

for instance

, where

rules

, the DPRK is considered one of the states with the highest level of human rights violations. In

such

cases, the profusion of

laws

can help the government promote and support its regime, but at the same time, the rights of ordinary citizens might be infringed. In conclusion, it is important to mention that

to ensure the functioning of society. As well, a balance must be struck between ensuring public order and allowing individual expression.
