Every country around the world as well as every community within its given country has laws, but what exactly are laws? According to the Oxford Dictionary a law is, “the system of rules which a particular country or community recognizes as regulating the actions of its members and which it may enforce by the imposition of penalties,” (Oxford, 2013). Keeping the definition in mind it is undoubtedly obvious that laws are created with a purpose behind them. That purpose being, to better society as a whole, by adhering to given laws. The question is should civilians be allowed to break these laws? The answer is yes, however there must be a greater positive outcome in doing so.
