Abiding by Rules and Laws

What are Rules? Rules are part of our everyday lives, whether they are made by institutions, organizations, or schools. When we do not have rules there is confusion. There is no order, and people are not sure what they should do. Rules have people modify (change) behaviour or prohibit (stop) behaviour. Apply to those people who agree to follow them. Examples – school, home,..

What are Laws Laws are established by the government for the members of its society to follow and obey. Laws are needed in society or country to promote and keep order. Laws continually change to reflect the changing nature of our society’s views Examples – texting while driving, seatbelts,…

Laws can differ between nations, provinces and cities Each generation influences the system and the laws that are passes reflect the society of that period For example: 1960s and 1970s – first national divorce laws, prison reform/change emphasizing rehabilitation 1982 – enactment of Charter of Rights and Freedoms to guarantee the rights of all Canadians regardless of age, race, gender, religion…

The Need for Law: Laws create predictability and structure for a safe and peaceful society Laws protect the rights of individual citizens, including and especially against the government

How do Rules and Laws Differ? Laws are mandatory; rules may be optional Laws apply to all members of society and are usually made and enforced by the government and supporting agencies (police, courts)

Law and Morality: What is Morality? – what we think is right and wrong, tends to differ from person to person or country to country Some laws are practical (ex. property rights, traffic). Other laws reflect the values of the majority of society (ex. euthanasia, child pornography, spanking) Anytime laws reflect moral values and belief, there will be controversy

Why do we need rules and laws? When can rules and laws be unjust?
