How do you introduce law? Compare the sociological thought of law with positive thought.

Law is the valid instrument to govern the society. Law affects everyone in the society in relation
to their activities. It is a meaningful expression of the civilized society. It regulates and controls
human behaviors, whether external or internal and imposes penalty for its violation. It is also a
means of rendering justice, maintaining discipline, peace and order, providing security for the
betterment of the society.

Law is above all. Everybody is bound to follow and obey law. It treats all equally and does not
discriminate anybody on any matter on the ground of caste, race, color, status or of any other
kind. Simply, the word “law” is such a thing which the state makes to handle the activities of its
subjects, whether ruler or ruled. In a specific sense, law is a civil law which is applied in the
society, and in legal sense, law is such a legislation which is passed by legislature of the state.

Thus, law can be defined as a set of rules, principles, customs as well made or recognized and
enforced by the supreme authority in the country.
