Lord Of The Flies: Why We Need Laws

Lawless Countries
The one thing that supposedly keeps a country in order is laws. They make it so people can see things on the same level. When these countries don't have these laws to set standards, the country falls into chaos. This chaos brings down the people and the surrounding countries that rely on it. Chaos is brought upon by the lack of laws and/or the lack of enforcement of the laws. Laws are a key component to the world being a better place. There are five principles why we need laws are the harm, parental, morality, donation, and statist principles. The harm principle are laws about protecting people from getting hurt or hurting themselves. “Without basic Harm Principle laws, a society ultimately degenerates into despotism--the

Donation principle are on governments helping citizens. You need statist laws to keep the government stable. These type of laws stop treason and espionage. (Head). Without these laws countries could collapse. In the book Lord of the Flies Jack says “Bollocks to the rules! We’re strong—we hunt! If there’s a beast, we’ll hunt it down! Well close in and beat and beat and beat—!” (Golding). And Ralph made rule saying “And another thing. We nearly set the whole island on fire. And we waste time, rolling rocks, and making little cooking fires. Now I say this and make it a rule, because I’m chief. We won’t have a fire anywhere but on the mountain.

These countries are in real bad shape. In Pakistan little kids can sit in the in the front seat of the car and nobody would care. People are being robbed and killed left and right. I remember I was in Pakistan and my cousins were coming to my place and got robbed on the way there. Jewels, gold, and even my aunts wedding ring was stolen by robbers with guns threatening them. There was a 10 year old girl, a baby that was one, and a 13 year old boy in that car. Those robbers probably threatened, even killed many people and probably haven’t even been caught. “2,715 killed (civilians) 191 killed (police and Rangers) 125 killed (suspected criminals/terrorists) 108 kidnappings 519 cases of extortion 3,082 cases of robbery 4,068 vehicle thefts 22,284 motorcycle thefts 10,501 cell phone thefts” . This happened just in 2014.
Enforcing laws should be done and without enforcing laws the world would be in chaos. Without laws there are high crime and killing rates, countries are poor, there are low security and food shortages. Also, people have diseases with no appropriate medication and many countries that don’t have laws don’t have respect for women that many countries have now. Women are being sold, raped, abused, killed, and enslaved; they are worth nothing in these countries. (Afzal) “Also treachery is
