Without rules and regulations all civilization would plunge into chaos, as there would be nothing protecting us from one another’s most basic self serving instincts, and sometimes self-destructive habits. Often time’s simple rules and regulations protect us from ourselves, such as not touching a hot furnace or driving through an intersection when the light is red. If we look just at laws of the road one can quickly see how many devastating accidents would occur (and how many lives would be ruined) if no one followed the rules of the road. Without the utmost care to follow these rules, things that could easily be prevented may happen, resulting in very negative things.
In societies there has to be a guideline--something that regulates

The difference between a law and a rule is that the law describes what the rule is in a negative way, meaning it does state the terms of the broken rule as on "sex with a minor" and describes a proscribed penalty the breaker of the rule has to expect.
Rules do establish a society: For example, Hammurabi, who to my knowledge formed the first society known, established the rule that "the strong shall carry the weak". It was a rule of significance, because this rule showed the responsibility of those who were strong. Without the rules we would be living in some sort of anarchy, a society where every one could just do what they wanted to without having to worry about consequences. Rules do establish a sense of accountability--to each other, to the neighbors, to the government--without rules we would only be a bunch of savages....
Being in the United States Army raises the bar of importance for following rules and regulations due to the extreme situations that a soldier will find himself/herself in. Failing to pick up on small details or following seemingly small rules and regulations in combat can make the difference between coming home in a seat on a plane or inside a box in the cargo hold of the that plane. Not only is that true for yourself, but it is equally true for your Battle Buddies.
The Army has an inordinate amount of rules and regulations that all soldiers, regardless of rank or duty
A set of laws are a necessity for human society – without them, humans can retrogress back into a state of nature. Homer, in his epic, The Odyssey, shows readers the outcome of a society when rules are not obeyed and, instead, ignored. An unbalance occurs and Homer proves to readers that without laws, a terrible dystopia is born. Rules that are followed are essential in a well-built society, and Homer thinks that when no one is present to enforce these rules, and they are instead ignored, the break-down of society occurs, causing chaos and disorder to roam freely.
Rules are created to control and to manipulate the populace which they do not allow individualism which, if not allowed to do so there would be no will to go on, shackled to the own consciousness. These rules exist to disallow individualism so people would not have the will to fight onward and become how they are. The laws make everyone think that their life is to better their brothers and not themselves Equality 7-2521 says at the end of the book “I owe nothing to my brothers, nor do I gather debts from them. I ask none to live for me, nor do I live for any others. I cover no man’s soul, nor is my soul theirs to covet.” (Rand 96). This is a change of thought from the beginning of the book when he got his life mandate. “We would accept our Life
Most people don’t like following rules. Some people don’t mind following rules. Everyone can relate to the quote in The Handmaid’s Tale “A rat in a maze is free to go anywhere, as long as it stays inside the maze.” (165) We want to be free, but we have these walls around us that won’t let us do what we want. I believe that people are the rat and that the walls are rules. Over time people figure that rules are walls that won’t budge. This is all hard to understand right now, but in the future people will understand what it means.
If a soldier doesn't follow orders while in a combat zone this makes them combat ineffective and when a
Comedian Bill Cosby once said, “Civilization had too many rules for me, so I did my best to rewrite them.” Coming from such an iconic comedian, this humorous statement, has a unique concept behind it. The idea of creating a civilization with rules and regulations is not an idea created in recent time. Creating a civilization can be dated back to thousands of years ago. Composing a set of laws, is no doubt one of the most difficult tasks to complete, and it requires the utmost leadership skills along with intelligence. In Lord of the Flies, a group of pre-teens have found themselves stranded on an island with absolutely no signs of grownups. Far away from any civilization, the students form a society with rules and regulations, but as the terror
All of these reasonings show how codified laws impacted life so vastly that the government creates and develops them today. There was a lot to work on in the past but these trials and errors made the laws what they are today. Underprivileged people gained rights, and savagery isn’t as common as how it used to be. Compared to this history, this civilization has advanced vastly with the help of codified laws that are necessary to keep a civilization
Laws and regulations are what keep societies in this day in age controlled. Laws help maintain peace so people can live and work together efficiently. Ancient societies had strict laws that they had to adhere to. These strict laws were followed by harsh punishments in many places around the world. Greece, Rome, and Egypt followed legal traditions much like us today. These laws helped maintain the peace, and they helped each Ancient society flourish.
Rules sometimes set boundaries and make society feel pressured to act a certain way around others. Rules are usually set up for so that society can run smoothly, communities could be safer, and so that everyone is treated fairly. However, some people might oppose this because sometimes rules are the cause for problems in society and they might even cause bias advantages to others. Works of literature such as Animal Farm by George Orwell and articles such as “The benefits of Non-Conformity” by Silvia Bellezza, Francesca Gino, and Anat Keinan all talk about how challenging the rules helps society enforce change but sometimes it can be really dangerous. It is okay to challenge rules if it’s for the greater good and if the rules that are already
Society, on the outside, is organized chaos. Take Chicago for instance, if we removed rules and time, it would be in turmoil. Crime, chaos, disorder; the city would not last more than aday. If we add in laws, and enforced them with police, much of that chaos would subside. However, the city would still crumble, and again, would die within the first 24 hours. The fundamental rule which keeps a society together is time. Time holds society together, but in doing so controls what we can and cannot achieve in our short lives.
Rule of Third was an easy task to complete. In this picture I took, I frame the phone to be on the side but not all the way. I made the phone more interesting by turning on the camera and letting the landscape fill in. My success with this photo is that it brings more attention to what’s going on in the phone and bring a perfect image in my opinion.
Chronic health issues, such as obesity and diabetes, are becoming a global concern. Most of these health issues arise during adulthood, but are developed during childhood based on consumption habits. The portion sizes of junk food should be restricted. Portions should be modified and in some cases be removed. The food industry has increased sizes of their products and ultimately changed the default option we are used to. With limitation of portion sizes comes a debate on whether it is okay for the government to regulate, or not. Many claim it should be a choice on the part of the individual. The thing is that most people lack self control and can’t rely on their will because some many options are available and the urge is hard to resist.
‘Social Order exists because people are afraid to disobey the rules of society.’ Explain and assess this claim. [25]
Rules and Laws have played a very crucial role throughout human history. More importantly the rules were made and laws implemented by those individuals that wielded power over the masses. These individuals would use their power to put in place laws that benefited them and those they favored. In almost all these cases the poor and the weak were taken advantage of and used by the powerful. This unfortunately is an ongoing problem even in today 's world, and presents the importance of the concept of Rule of Law. Rule of Law is a legally binding principle put in place to govern a nation. Rule of Law can be defined in short as a doctrine that no single individual, however powerful they maybe, should be considered above the law. In principle
My rules that I use in my daily life to guide my moral behavior are the laws, which is a formal public policy, and the rules of the Bible. I mostly follow these two things as my moral compass. A law helps me to know what behavior is right and wrong, and the rules of the Bible tells me what behavior is good or bad to my identity and values. In the lecture, Professor Mun said a law is “the public’s agency for translating morality into explicit social guidelines and practices and for stipulating punishments for offenses.” However, following the guidelines of the law doesn’t always make people moral. For example, cheating on boyfriend or girlfriend is not illegal, but it is obviously bad because
Rules are set upon us everywhere, no cell phone allowed, no parking at any time, not dogs allowed. We know why these rules exist, but as human we don’t want them. We
