Whether The Rules And Laws Is Essencial Society is based on rules and laws that regulate individuals' behaviours. Although strict rules and laws are helpful to control crime, I would argue that they could also be too strict and restrict individuals and industries. Rules and laws regulate individual behaviours in almost every aspect of life. For instance, the traffic rules prevent plenty of accidents from occuring, which can save people's lives. Also, some laws that restrict the use of guns protect people from being hurt by terrorists and other offenders. If there were no rules or laws, the traffic jams, gun shootings, as well as some injuries would occur, which certainly brought individuals into trouble. Rules and laws also provide steady growth of the economy. Laws that prompt patents support rapid growth of some state-of-the-art industries. For example, China has enforced a law that declined the tax on artificial intelligence recently, which boosted Chinese artificial intelligence. If there was no law to protect the new industry, the development of artificial intelligence in China would still be at a sluggish pace. In my view, the rules and laws benefit individuals and society to some extent. However, it brings many strict disciplines that restrict individuals and the economy. The laws that prevent people from accessing foreign websites contribute to the limitation of domestic academy to develop, since many websites such as Google Scholar, post countless extraordinary research papers which are available to the users. Meanwhile, the import restriction raised the problem that people are unable to purchase foreign goods, which may cause some domestic producers to have a monopoly. To summarise, it is rational to argue that the rules and laws regulate individuals' behaviours. However, if the government wants to not only stimulate individuals' creativity, but also avoid monopoly of some companies, it should loosen the restrictions. [This is my 1st IELTS wrting practice, I would appreciate it if you could give a hand to me to make some corrections.] :) Thanks for Kiya and Mimi's help, I polished my first version. I learnt that when talking about laws and rules that are currently in existence, I should use present tense instead.
