Function of law in society

Answer

To control disruptive behaviour.

Explanation:

Although there are several functions of law in society, yet it is to control the disruptive behaviour of individuals. In a society where there is no law, such will be characterised with disorderliness. Law helps to resolve dispute, protects right and freedom, establish rules of conduct, provides a system of enforcement and protect the society at large.

Laws are created in a society to instill discipline on it's citizens and to set out clearly what is right from what is wrong. It also maintains social order, economic and political stability in a society. It maintains social order in the scenes that there is a limit to how individuals must act in relation to one another in any given society.

Other functions of law are that it governs how people behave and then set out how government would deal with such behaviour. Individuals also have power or rights under law hence create a limit to government power which in turn promote peace in a society.

i think it can have both positive and negative effects on businesses.

for example:

lets say you own a small business and taxes go up 4% that means it is going to cost your business more money to buy product to sell. but at the same time you make more money from the tax rise.

that is my theory.

1. should those convicted of violating laws be labeled?

-yes, because they are violating other people's human rights, so why should they get their's and other's don't?

2. do you feel that this labeling would be an infringement on a person's rights?

-yes it does technically but they lose the right to be human when they rap.e people of everything they have.
