What I think about the law?
I think that the law in America, depending on the situation, is fairly equal. When it comes to certain situations such as safety, I believe by laws, America is very aware of its citizens’ safety. Things such as murder, robbery, drug abuse, and basically anything illegal, has consequences that our country offers, and that is when I believe that the law is an advantage. The freedom of speech, religion, and anything personal, is well rounded and respected by citizens as well. Feeling safe in your own environment is a major concern to me, and to the people surrounding me.
But then again, there are parts of our country’s laws that make me feel unsafe and unprotected as well. Unstoppable crime that goes on, unknowingly, physical violence, rape, and war are some examples of what our country cannot control, and some of these topics make me feel unprotected because by law, some of these things cannot be controlled.
But all in all, I believe that the United States of America is a very balanced country. Every country has their pro’s and con’s about specific laws, and such, but I believe that our laws are very understandable and very enforced toward its’ people. Unlike other countries, I’m glad that our country enforces laws, and is not a straight up anarchy where the country is lawless! I would not like to live in an environment, where there are no laws, whatsoever. So, in a nutshell, I believe our laws are fair, compromising, and understanding. Although some of the laws may not make sense, and may seem silly, it is for our own safety, and for our own good. Our country is constantly changing, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse, but we always have room for change!

See I disagree with a lot of what you are saying in your blog, I mean yeah America is aware of what goes on in our country but it isn’t on equal terms and I don’t think that law has the advantage its who you know that gives you the advantage, and not all people feel safe by the law. Say you were raised in a bad neighborhood and you don’t really have a choice you are going to be scared of the law or at least not like the law by time you are of age to make your own choices. I do however agree with you that there is crime that goes on unheard of and the law is there to make things seem right. You hit on the topics of last week well, I just feel like to me law is not equal and if you have ever been on the wrong side of the law I’m sure you would have “equal” feelings as well.
ReplyDeleteThis was really good I really liked the part about what was good and how (America is very aware of its citizens’ safety. Things such as murder, robbery, drug abuse, and basically anything illegal.) I think this was thought out and put together very nicely.
