THE CONCEPT OF MORALITY AND LAW - CRITICAL LEGAL STUDIES APPROACH
Keywords:
Law, Morality and JusticeAbstract
There are three perspectives on law. Murder, rape, negligence, and speeding are all illegal in the fullest definition of the word. The law expresses itself in this manner. In the second definition, law is one of many rules that govern how people should act and how they should be controlled. Politics, business, morality, and philosophy are among the topics discussed. Another way to look at law is to look at it as a whole. The term "law as a system" refers to this. The law shapes and is shaped by what people value and how the world functions. In our lives, the rule of law is incredibly important. Without ever realising it, we come into contact with the law. Take the bus, a cab, get a bank loan, or purchase or rent a house. We employ a variety of regulations when completing one of these jobs. Individuals are regulated, protected, and guided with their help. Law is a system by which societal, technological, and philosophical changes can alter or adjust standards and norms of behaviour. In this sense, law is a tool for defining guidelines for topics like morals, family values, cultural norms, and business practises.
