Description
Summary:'Law', as a term or concept, has always something to do with order, justice, and common good, Laws have relevance mainly in the context of a society or community of human beings. One of the things that a human being likes most, generally, is to be free and independent. To a great extend, it is good and healthy for the growth, development, and blossoming of both individuals and communities/societies. At the same time, it is our experience that human beings cannot remain isolated islands. Relationship is one of the important characteristic features of human beings as social being. Therefore, while exercising and enjoying his/her freedom for one's own personal growth, he/she should not forget the fact that the other also has the same amount of personal freedom and wants to benefit from it. Here arise the questions of law, order, justice, and common good. One of the things that man most dislikes or resists or even hates is control, restrictions and limitations or boundaries.
