Why Is Public Order Important

Improved Essays
Public order is necessary for a safe and peaceful co-existence of diverse people in an environment. To maintain absolute tranquility in any society, there is a need for a public order which will stipulate the rules and regulations that will govern every resident.
Public order is a catalyst to societal safety and without order, there will be chaos and instability in the environment.
From my perspective, we do have enough public order in place but the problem is having enough trained personnel’s to strictly enforce the laws at all times and citizens willingness to abide by the rules when no one is watching because most people chose to violate the law simply because there is no one watching.
Also, some obsolete laws should be abolished or updated

    Since its beginning, mankind has been engaged in a desperate struggle for power. In attempts to secure this power, many leaders and groups worked toward forming empires and societies. While few ultimately accomplished this to any degree of significance, some of these endeavors resulted in the paragons of today’s most accomplished organizations. While a number of similarities likely accounted for the overall prosperity, it can be argued that successful communities have always shared a specific common factor: an established set of social norms or rules to create a unified cohesion among its citizens. Though these expectations or obligations inevitably varied, they nevertheless existed and underpinned the fragile nature of society.…

    I identify with both Individual Rights and Public Order. My identification with Individual Rights is my belief that everyone should be guaranteed the First Ten Amendments of the Constitution. For example, without the Right to Bear Arms citizens would not be able to protect families and properties. Furthermore, violent crimes would increase. Law abiding citizens would be targeted by criminals knowing that the likely hood of protection by firearms would not be option for citizens.…

    Individuality is the greatest threat to a utopian society, if one person doesn’t like the way the leader is running the show, then why should you continue to follow their lead? This is the problem I tackled in my final project, as I produced a seminar that was telling students from a fictional institution how to run their utopian societies in a way where they could eliminate or control individuality. Of course their are many different ways to see a utopian society, sometimes it is optimistic, Where To Invade Next (2015) while others are much darker, 1984 (1984). I quickly decided to ignore the optimistic utopian societies, since many times the citizens are the rulers. Instead I focused on the utopian societies that were completely controlling…
