Aristotel
The law affects every aspect of our lives; it governs our conduct from the cradle
to the grave and its influence even extends from before our birth to after our
death.We live in a society which has developed a complex body of rules to control
the activities of its members.
Law ? And that what so general in the law? What sense is in him and what is
he expressed? If in earnest to be thoughtful above, laws began to appear exactly
in time, when a human realized, what is fear! All, what people could not
understand or explain - frightened them. For the reason they are need something
or someone who was strong and would say them all about these undertook
things.
So people called them Gods!! God became similar the first law for a man, by a
law line of which they can not cross in spite of everything. Certainly there was
some religious norms and generally accepted rules whom appeared. Laws not
nearly changed since that to our days. Yes, they became more wider and
expressed a large responsibility, but sense remained former. Every country - has
this own laws, however said there are not in one of them, that you can put
someone to death, snaffle -in other wards - to do everything, you want!!Certainly
laws are legal acts which have a large responsibility on the shoulders of
everybody. That sense which was carried by the laws of primeval times saved the
laws of our time. it's like as it was before on each the gods accompanied motion
of human, just like laws are accompanied people nowadays. They are expressed
in every people act, in every motion exactly can see this world!
Laws haven`t changed since primeval times.
Throughout history humans were trying to establish the rules of behavior, which
controlled the relations in society. At first those were customs and traditions, and
then they were replaced by written laws.
These were carved into stone, fixed on clay tables, or written on parchment, and
later - on paper. These laws set up various norms and rules, both fair and unfair.
Only one law has always remained in force: the battle is to the strong (the
strongest is always right). This law was the basis of judicial duels of the past and it
is still in effect for all classes in modern society.
The difference is that in older times it was the physical force which mattered, and
now – it’s the force of MONEY.The law should be the force to fight crime, but for
this purpose it is necessary, that people should realize that it is easier to observe
the law, than to pay the price for non-observance.Only then people would be able
to leave the primitive law behind!The same thing also works when we’re talking
about laws, as they have kept their roots since primeval times.
"Tell a man there is 300 billion stars in the universe and he will believe you. Tell
him a bench has wet paint on it and he will have to touch it to make sure."
Murphy’s Law
One of the most famous Murphy’s laws which I have just quoted is the best
example to show the constants of human nature. Any time humans don’t believe
in the truthfulness of some fact or phenomenon, they tend to experiment on
themselves. That’s why thousands of years ago our ancestors created a set of
rules of behavior in self-protection. Most of these rules are still in force
nowadays. I am talking about the eternal law or the so-called natural law.This
school of law appeared in ancient Greece and Rome in the 5th century B.C.
Famous philosophers Plato and Aristotle thought that alongside with the positive
(human-made) law there was some eternal law. In other words, they taught their
disciples that this kind of law didn’t depend on people’s will.The Romans called it
jus naturale. But unlike the Greeks, Romans were sure that positive law inevitably
contradicted the eternal law. In their opinion, all men were equal eternally but
positively there existed a social class of slaves.Nowadays the eternal law is the
foundation of the contemporary laws. Unfortunately such rules as “don’t kill” and
“don’t steal” aren’t enough to regulate the complicated relations in our society,
and our lawmakers are doing their best to create sufficient laws.
But according to another Murphy’s law, “Before you find your princess, you’ve
got to kiss a lot of frogs!”
When people were already organized in tribes, they had some norms and rules of
behaviour. Based on Victoria Modina’s statement, “members of a community
were punished if they had done harm to other members of the same community,
if they had stolen something or if they had failed to perform their duties”. Already
from that time the term “repercussions” is applied and what’s interesting is that
it’s already effective. Nowadays the essence of such regulations of social life is
absolutely the same. Today people are responsible for all their deeds according to
contemporary laws.
For the purpose of getting a better life, without worries and in the same time
for the peaceful coexistence of humans, the law was created. The law has become
something that is now taken as a given. We can’t imagine the life without rules,
without some regulations.
First of all, the law introduced the concept what is right and what is not, the thing
that we call now “justice”, something that was not known in the past. But as I said
earlier that the law has reached the state of being almighty on this planet, for
sure it couldn’t have stayed the same all these decades, without someone
rebelling against it. It wouldn’t have gained so much authority if it hadn’t changed
periodically. The reason behind all these riots is also the law. And I can prove my
bold statement in the following sentence. Although the law is considered the
supreme power on the planet, it has a weak spot: the fact that it’s not perfect.
If the strong and the weak were equal, this could change a lot!
