LAW

Have you ever for a second think about what brought meaning to what we call our different languages, it is said that language used to be one. The thing is, meaning can be over time be constructed into an existing word that already has a meaning. Lets take for instead the word 'ass' literary it means the behind of a person or an animal, but figuritively it means something so rude that i can't really mention in my blog coz it is not moral. These meanings in the words seem to have a great deal in social cohesion, for a society to understand its nature it has to find common ground, there has to be a fair level of interaction(Interpersonal and intrapersonal). Societies are constructed institutions that classify the level of a person's standard, people fear to question the way they live because they fear that they might be questioning life (Law). This is how: it is said that nobody is above the law, The law has people who punish, The are people who can change the law and the law is unfair to everyone accept the ones who benefit from the law.

LAW
For all we know law existed through time, people where told what to do for a very long time now. It was believed that a human being needs to be taught how to behave in order to keep social order, hence the over growing production of deadly weapons and bombs. The aim is not to protect the population but to keep control from the top. Muschamp, D (1986) in his book 'political thinkers' argues that a society may contain wise, just, courageous and temperate people.  He adds that 'character, opinions and attitudes of individuals are the products of society'. In any institution it might be religion, governement or any other organiztion the level of power is not share evenly to serve everyone. Here is what is in the dark, peolpe are cable of mass distruction and they can bring power to the ground and those who are at the top know that very well. So law is what we believe is actually right and should be accepted without being questioned and if you start to question the things around you, it is said you are breaking the law.

Monarchy, aristocracy, polity, democracy, oligarchy and tyranny. Do they ring a bell, these are the six systems of rule, like as espected these systems are social created models to control a population with the idea that the system favours the population. Democracy as the rule by the poor, and probably the many, for their sake. This system is the most popurlar used system used in our modern societies, it is a slap in the face of the poor because  the poor are never there in policy making and they are never there in any decision making. Aristotle saw that, obedience to the law by the rulers (those with power) is not something that can be enforced. The rulers must simply respect the law, nothing can make them obey it (Muschamp, D. 1986). This is one of the most revealing statement that those in power use the law to surpress ordinary individuals, since the biased law can't touch them it is a good idea that it should be more enforced and strengthened.
