Law Can Change Human Behaviour. Do You Agree or Not?
Law Can Change Human Behaviour. Do You Agree or Not?
Law means a body of rules and regulations in the form of judicial opinions,
or in the form of constitutions etc. Law is used by the governing bodies to
control the behaviour of a society. The functions of law vary for different
societies or countries. However, legal laws are different from the moral
behaviour or the traditions of societies. The laws are formed by some
authorized body like court while customs and traditions are made by the
members of society. It is very important to understand here that both the
things are made to run the society smoothly.
However, I agree with the statement that although laws can place limits
on people's behaviour but they cannot alter or convert people's heart.
There is no second thought that very strict laws can sometimes have
negative effects on the society. Usually laws help to give a peaceful life to
people. It plays an essential role in maintaining stableness and
development of society. It infuses a fear in the public that if they do some
illegal activity, they will be punished. If this fear will not be there, then the
instances of terrorism and crimes will increase that will make the life of
the members of society unstable and disturbed. Laws make our lives
comfortable. Hence, it is required to have laws that have positive impact
on people's behaviour.
However, in history, we have many examples where laws had negative
influence on the society. The laws made by some of the kings were so
cruel and inhuman that they had bad effect on the human nature.
However, it is also true that although laws are used to make people's lives
easy and secure, laws cannot change what is in people's heart. Despite
many strict and cruel laws, feelings of hate and disobedience keep
growing in the hearts of public, if the laws are not changed according to
time. Many revolutions in the history of humankind are the evidence of
this statement. Russian revolution and the freedom fight of India are the
best examples of the outcry of public against the laws and legislations of
the government.
Laws should be changed according to the human nature. Hence, it is true
that laws and rules reflect the human nature but these cannot change the
way people think. Although laws should not be altered at every outcry,
they should be modified according to human nature that reflects people's
minds and hearts. It is essential to make people respect laws. Otherwise,
there will be more and more instances of people not following laws. You
cannot ignore the fact that some degree of freedom is required for a
balanced society. Without people obeying any law, it will be like an empty
law. Hence, the social attitude towards laws should be considered while
making a formal law. If the authorities want to use the laws to control or
alter human nature, then they have to make the laws more flexible.
Hence, it can be concluded that the laws that control or place limits on
people's behavior cannot reform human nature.
Managers have got wide experience and vast knowledge. They are
familiar with the way the business operates. They are also aware of
the strengths and weaknesses of their employees. This knowledge
and experience allows them to make decisions that are beneficial to
the company, its stakeholders and employees. Whats more, while
making important decisions several confidential documents are
taken into consideration. Security can be an issue if all employees
are involved in the process.
