Introduction
                                 This assignment related on the subject of General Law, which I have to clarify about “Human, are naturally protected by their own discipline. However, sometimes weaker is attacked by stronger. Law is playing a significant role in this situation.”
                                The main determination to explain this topic is not only gets the full marks but also explain the importance role of Law in the society while the conflicts arise. Since the human necessaries are advanced, the society has become complicated. Religious teach the ethics to the society for resolve the conflicts but sometimes weaker is attacked by stronger. Accordance to my personal views that is happening because of craving as well as ignorance of human beings.
                                   I hope to describe the main reasons to weaker attack by stronger as well as the importance of the Law with special reference of branches of Law, Human rights and Buddhist concepts.








The humans and their own discipline, which protected them naturally

                         Since we born our parents teach us what is rights and wrong. Therefore, they are known as “Pubbacariya.” Buddha has mentioned that as following;
“Brahamati mata pitaro-Pubbacariyatiuaccare”[1]

                        Buddha has mention in the sutta that the parents are “Mahabrahama”[2] who become first teacher in our life. According to the secondly and thirdly we meet schoolteacher, friends etc. in our life. Their advices can be consider as the own disciplines which protect us naturally in the society. After that, we are well known about good and bad. If someone behavior with good habits he will protected by his own good deeds. Buddhism has also mentioned about that as following.
“Dhammaohave Rakkhati Dhammacari” [3]

                        Therefore, most people tried to live with good because they wanted to be protected in society. Let we explain this with best example. I am a monk from Nepal if I behavior badly, my high priest will punish me therefore I do not do bad deeds in society. The concept that I have that I should not do bad deeds, which have given by parents that are called my own discipline.
                       To conclude this subtopic if someone behave with good discipline in the society, there are no nay chance to get punish him or get in troubles. Then let we move to next topics, where I hope to discuss the real situation in the present world.

The weaker is attacked by stronger

                            The word “weaker” which has different meaning that I used to write this assignment. Here I have indicate the meaning of weaker as weak in physical, wealth, political, education money etc. The real situation of present world looks like the rule of jungle. According to the rule of jungle the small animal are foods for powerful, strong animals. Deer is the meal of lion. Here lion is strong by physical power therefore it eats deer. However, we are human we have equal rights to live in the society. The human rights can be define as below
1.    The rights you have simply because you are human.
2.    A person is inherently entitled simply because she or he is a human being
                               Although these kinds of more article indicate about the importance of human rights in the society, the crime is increasing day by day.
“Everyone has rights to entitled to crime charge, full equal, fair and public hearing etc.” [4]
“Not attack upon his honor and reputation.”[5]
                              Although the society has mention these rights, the crime is increasing in present world. The people are using their power to kill innocent people. They used the power of politicians to release from the jails. When the person becomes rich, he/she tried to run the rules of jungle.
 The next discussion point will be if people are trying to run the rule of jungle then how does the Law become importance to eradicate problems from the world.
The importance characteristic of the Law at this situation

“All person are equal before the law and are entitled to equal protection of law.”[6]
                         While the stronger people trying to establish the rule of jungle, the Law plays important character in the society. As I have mention above that everyone are equal before the law. People made law for their protection; therefore, Law has divided into main two parts.

If someone has done
       Murder
      Cheating
      Assault
      Theft
      Threaten
      Rape
      Smuggling is coming under the crime of criminal’s actions.
In addition, another part is civil actions.
      Law of property
      Law of Contract
      Mercantile Law
      Law of Delist or Tort
      Family Law
      Labor or Industrial Law
                            If anyone has done these crimes, he/she will punish by the Law. The article describe further that no citizen shall be discriminated against on the grounds of race, religion, language, caste, sex ,political opinion, place of birth or any of such grounds[7]. Here the significant character of Law can be seen in this article.
The criminal might be the president of country he will punished by the law. Therefore, when the people tried to come out with jungle rules the Law plays exceptional role in the society. That Law impersonal but equal for all citizen.



My personal views on characteristic of Law in present society

                            Actually, according to my personal views the Law in modern society is illusion. The illusion means you can see but there is nothing in the reality. Let we discuss some usage of article on human rights.
Article 9th
                  This talks about “no one shall be arrest without any reason of crime. According to these human rights, I feel that this is illusion in the society. Police arrests the innocent people and torture them to know truth. I feel that the law is blind. Therefore, they are arrested innocent people. They might be criminals but if they were not criminals then who will take responsibilities of arrest and torture.
  Actually, we can see the Law in the society but people has overused it, which converted to misuse.
Article 10th
Everyone has rights to entitled to crime charge, full equal, fair and public hearing etc.




Article 11th
This article talks about the right to be presumed innocent until proved guilty. However, before they proved guilty the police have already hit him and forced him to accept the crime.

Article 12th

Not attack upon his honor and reputation. The politicians are always doing this crime.
Therefore, I asked what the meaning of having Law in the society. That is the main reasons for saying that Law is illusion as well as for poor people.
 
According to the present situation, the law is similar to Matshaya Naya or the rule of the jungle. These all Law is benefits for rich people. When poor people broke the law then that, are crime but for rich people it is an accident.




Conclusion

                            As a conclusion, I would to mention that the law is illusion as well as for poor people. I agree that human are naturally protected by his or her own disciplines. At that, time weaker attacked by stronger but law will effect only those who are poor and cannot buy Law.
                          I believe that if you are stronger you are the Law in present situation. Although law has sold and turned into jungle rules but somehow law plays significant roles in the society.
                         Therefore, what I suggest is give you kind cooperation to protect law in the society. Do not try to buy it, which turns into jungle rules.
