    Welcome to an exciting Term 3.

    What would society be like without laws? it'b be a lot like playing a game without rules, without a ser rule of law society would be governed by the law of nature. 

    In a utopian (ideal) world people would be kind, generous and considerate to their neighbor. Crime wouldn't exist and the rights of men and women everywhere would be protected and respected. However, as we all know the world isn't utopian by nature. Some people are predisposed towards cruelty and as long as these kinds of people exist the rights of citizens could be violated and injustice would reign in a society.
