Essay Agree or Disagree

Essay topic: Some people believe law changes human behaviour. To what extent do you agree or
disagree?

Nowadays, whether law changes human behaviour has attracted numerous controversies and
drawn the attention from the public. Some people believe that law can change human behaviour,
while others hold the view that there is no relationship between law and human behaviour. In my
opinion, law does have an influence on human behaviour due to social and psychological
reasons.

First and foremost, it has been argued that the social reason is why I think law has an influence on
human behaviour. Although potentially negative impacts of law must be taken into account, I still
reckon that the existence of law has in many ways enormously enriched people’s lives. For
example, a well-known American philosopher once said, ‘People are generally afraid of receiving
any form of legal punishment.’ It is thus clearly shown that human behaviour is changed by law.

In addition, another factor that should be considered is the psychological reason. As far as society
is concerned, the ultimate aim of law is to protect people. For instance, a recent article published
by The Economist reveals that 80% of people fasten their seat belts in cars after a traffic law has
been published. Undoubtedly, this is a clear indication that law has a positive impact on
individuals’ behaviour.

In conclusion, I hold the view that law changes human behaviour. To address this issue, the
government and society should make a concerted effort to find solutions.
