Law and Chaos

Masks of Chaos and Evil “He was safe from shame or self-consciousness behind the mask of his paint and could look at each of them in turns.” (140) Throughout the course of the novel, it is apparent how the characters change from young innocent boys into murderous savages while stranded on an isolated island. These boys are no older than 14, but everyone, no matter how young, has an inner beast. Some people, like the boys in the novel, allow that beast inside to temporarily come out when they feel there will be no punishment. In William Golding’s The Lord of the Flies, facepaint is symbolic of chaos and evil that erupts because of the loss of morality while being concealed behind the self-assuring “masks” of society. The characters Golding portrays…

Knight Rises by Christopher Nolan, their common theme is that law and order in human society can only prevail when there are people fighting for it, otherwise the society will collapse into chaos. For Golding’s defense of this message, his book declares a very clear stance that law and order can only prevail when there are people supporting it, when that is lost, chaos will insume. The protagonist’s sidekick, Piggy, attempts to ensure that the law and order side of the matter will survive on…

people. King states that “Any law that degrades human personality is unjust. All segregation statutes are unjust because segregation distorts the soul and damages the personality. It gives the segregator a false sense of superiority”. Segregation belittles a group of people thus telling that group that they are not equal, therefore inferior. This is an unjust law that is kept in order to maintain peace and discourage discontent. When one is denied basic civil rights, even though it is stated in…

It is of the common belief that a strong ruler is what makes a successful country. However, strength can be both a blessing and a curse. In the wrong hands, power has the potential to destroy a nation- to cause chaos instead of hold order. In Sophocles’ Antigone, this is the case. Creon, king of Thebes, believes that the king’s word is ultimate law, and that it must be carried out regardless of the consequences. Antigone, however, is more intelligent in her thinking that sometimes, a ruler’s law…

attempts to get Christopher to come back home. But, Christopher’s mom’s new significant other (Mr. Shears), calls the police, and Mr. Boone is escorted out of the flat. By the police officer fulfilling his duty to enforce the law and establish order, the chaos of the situation was undermined, and the problem involving where Christopher was going to live was successfully resolved. Even though some people have an aversion towards being under authority, society implements government for the sake of…

“For Anarchists the state itself is the enemy” and consequently is highly criticised. The best demonstration of how Anarchists view the state is by Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, “To be GOVERNED is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, law-driven, numbered, regulated, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked, estimated, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures who have neither the right nor the wisdom nor the virtue to do so.” The majority of people’s objection to Anarchy…

The Necessity of Chaos and Order As Carl G. Jung said, “In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret disorder.” The essence of this quote closely relates to the play A Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare in which the path of love requires both chaos and order. The creation of chaos to derive order is necessary for the couples in A Midsummer Night’s Dream to end up happy. This is shown in the course of love between the couples Lysander and Hermia, Demetrius and Helena, and…

"WHY DO WE NEED LAWS?" Laws are enforced in our society to prevent anarchy and install order. A law is a system of rules which a country or community recognises to regulate behaviour of and for their members. Laws are crucial in our society. Our government or society is arranged so they enforce laws and apply consequences to those who break the law. Laws were invented to be obeyed and prevent chaos. There is a ample range of reason for laws in our society some of these include: personal…

time-space-energy field, which he believes provides a consequential analogical/metaphorical tool for the portrayal of the all-embracing creative Spirit in the world. Pannennberg sees the theory of “a single all-embracing field of force” as fit for his enquiry of the world as the creation of the all-embracing Spirit of God. For Pannenberg, the force field theory “helps to show the theologically based idea of a dynamic of the divine Spirit working creatively in all events.” 1.3. Emergent…

Does peaceful resistance to laws positively or negatively a free society? In my opinion I believe that peaceful resistance is a negative impact. I mean peaceful resistance can go both ways. Lets say there is a group of people protesting on the streets and its okay for them to do it, then they don't have a problem. But lets say there is someone who see's whats going on and they start making chaos in a peaceful situation, then that's when there is a negative impact. I think its a negative…
