The reason we have laws in society is to keep general order to our everyday living. Laws are generally based on a set of ethics accepted by society, so that if somebody does something society considers morally wrong, it is generally lawfully wrong also. This person would then be punished in some way or another in order to teach them a lesson and set an example to other people which have intentions on doing the same thing. The basic aim of having laws is in order to create social cohesion, or harmony throughout all people.
The law plays many functions such as peacekeeping; checking government power and promoting personal freedom; facilitating planning and the realization of reasonable expectations; promoting economic growth through free competition; promoting social justice; and protecting the environment
Law acts as a deterrent to control the evil and treacherous behavior of humans, to maintain discipline and imposes restrictions on some freedom. We live in a chaotic and uncertain world. Without an orderly environment based on and backed by law, the normal activities of life would be lacerated with chaos.
