"Are we not more obligated to achieve justice than to obey the law?" This quote best represented my opinion of law and justice because I believe that not all laws are justifiable. During swim season last year, my ipod and twenty dollars were stolen from me, but the girl was caught red-handed right then and there as she was stealing. I never got any money back or my ipod, yet I filed a police report. Even though this girl was a minor, I think she should have had to pay back or give back what she stole. Stealing is against the law, yet how is it justifiable at all that she didn't get any punishment for that? I know this has happened to many people at the high school and in this situation justice is not achieved. As it also said in this packet many laws are good because they protect us against wrongdoing, but laws also make people do things they don't want to and protect some people but not others. However, I think that both laws and justice are a need in the world because a world without laws would turn to chaos and a world without justice would not be worth living in.
