    Law plays four key roles in society: establishing standards of behavior, maintaining order, resolving disputes, and protecting liberties and rights. It sets limits on what behaviors are acceptable versus unacceptable in a society. Maintaining order is important for a society's progress, and the law defines penalties for violations to ensure justice. When conflicts do arise between members of a society, formal legal mechanisms and procedures like courts provide ways to resolve disputes. Finally, the law aims to protect basic freedoms and rights for all members of a society.

    ROLE OF LAW IN SOCIETY

    Assalam o Alikum

    Ladies and Gentlemen.

    I am Sunila Khalid

    Today the title of my presentation is THE ROLE OF LAW IN SOCIETY.

    First of all lets answer this question.

    What is Society Itself? What does this word mean?


    Basically this word is derived from Latin Word “Socious”, that means association or companionship
    – a larger group of individuals who are associative with each other.
    • Society is the system in which people live together in organized communities.
    • It may be defined as an organization of people with a particular interest or purpose.

    • Men and animals are different. Human’s conduct is controlled through moral standards, religious
    doctrines, social traditions and legal rules.

    Coming toward the Word LAW:


    Law can be define as

    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.
    Now lets put light on
    The Role Of Law In Society
    The law serves many purposes.
    Mainly the four principle purposes are:
    establishing standards, maintaining order, resolving disputes, and protecting liberties and
    rights.

    As for the
    Establishing Standards is concern,
    It is quite evident from the word that it sets limits of good and bad deeds by setting minimum
    acceptable normal behavior of one citizen living in a society.
    Some activities, for instance, are crimes because society has determined that it will not tolerate
    certain behaviors that injure or damage persons or their property. For example, under a typical
    state law, it is a crime to cause physical injury to another person without justification—doing so
    generally constitutes the crime of assault.

    Now Coming toward Maintaining Order:


    Law is of no worth if it is unable to maintain an order of everything in society. Law basically
    maintain order by defining penalties for the defaulter and make sure that the justice is made.

    The objective of law is to bring order in the society so the members of society
    can progress and develop with some sort of security regarding the future.
    Take example of your own country. In Pakistan hunting of Markhour (Our National Animal) is
    prohibited.

    Conflicts Resolution
    We bound to be caught in the conflict between human. For example family members, business
    associates, member of the public, public with the government etc. There is 2 aspects in conflict
    resolution: formalized mechanism(Court System) and procedures.

    Meanwhile, there is a designated institution to resolve the conflict:


    – Negotiation
    – Conciliation
    – Court hearing

    Protecting Liberties And Rights


    By the way what is the difference between this two words:
    Liberties and Right.

    Civil liberties are basic freedoms while civil rights are the basic right to be free from
    discrimination based on such characteristics as race, disability, color, gender, national origin,
    and others. Civil rights contain a protective aspect of the rights based on protected
    characteristics.
    Conclusion

    Law is a system of rules and guidelines which are enforced through social
    institutions to govern behaviour, wherever possible. It shapes politics,
    economics and society in numerous ways and serves as a social mediator of
    relations between people.

    If the harm is criminalized in legislation, criminal law offers means by which the
    state can prosecute the perpetrator. Constitutional law provides a framework
    for the creation of law, the protection of human rights and the election of political
    representatives.
