IN the textbook, there is a reading titled The evolution of Justice and Human Rights. the very first sentence of it shocked me. It made me laugh at how unresonable it is to me, but the reason that is, is because times have changed, and obviously, point of views have changed. I think the connection between Laws and peoples opinions and how closely related to one another they seem to me, is interesting. The connection between these two that i see is the way that they influence each other. Actually, that is something that confuses me. Is it that Laws are the once that influence what is seen as wrong or acceptable in society, or is it society that decides what things should become law? Technically, it can go either way.
