Can we live without law?
I really doubt so. This is because human nature is evil. Even with law, men tend to break them..what more if there's no law to govern men. For example, those days when people make agreement, they take each other words as proof. Yes means yes and no means no! However, in today's context, everything has to be written in black and white because we can no longer trust people based on their words alone. They can manipulate their words easily and caused harm to another party. Thus, if there's no law, one party will always be jeopardized by another party due to the evil nature of men. Another example is related to traffic law. If there's no rules and regulations about traffic, the rate of accidents are definitely gonna be very high! Laws are meant to be safeguard and guidelines to fellow citizens so that situations can be controlled. For example, if there's no guidelines for the people to stop when the traffic light turns red, the situation will turn havoc. Thus, living without law can cause havoc in the society.
Besides, we are not living in a society that's equal. Therefore, dominant party might harm the less dominant party in whatever transaction they are in if there's no law. OF course even with law, there's always harm being done to someone and that's why cases are brought before the court. It's meant to enable the victim to get access to JUSTICE. To live without law, we must accept that no one has any privilege and authority over anyone else which is so IMPOSSIBLE.
Furthermore, everyone's moral values differ from each other. Let's say A believe that it's alright to have sex with anyone of any age as long as they agree with one another but B might not agree so. Therefore, if there's one permanent law to regulate such thing, it's easier to have guidelines on what is right and what is wrong especially when dispute arises.
