Document Summary
Law and society lecture 2 september 20 th , 2011. Every single year there are several legislations passed at the provincial and federal law. The process takes years for the legislation to pass and become actual law. These legislations deal with immigration, the post office etc. To regulate public behaviour, to maintain order in society, to compromise conflicts, to make a claim, social control. Prior assumption to this is that we cannot control and regulate society without some sort of institution. Families try to instil morals and values in order to do this. People are always going to break norms (wreck less driving, smoking etc. ) We live in a complex society with millions of people where we can"t rely on individuals to regulate their own behaviour. *in addition to law as in institution, there are other institutions that regulate our behaviour* Family and community are other institutions that regulate our social behaviour.
