RULES AND DISCIPLINE
Rules in society are meant to help the society prosper. After time, all rules in society come to the point where they no longer do any good. For this reason, rules in society are not needed because they separate people, control the thoughts and feelings of people, and are hard to right the wrongs
.
The first reason why rules in society are not needed is because they separate people when they should be uniting a society. One way this is done is through the rules themselves. For example, a society rule that men should be the workers and woman the homemakers does nothing but isolate men from woman. Another way this is done is by isolating the people against a society rule. When Puritans went against the society rule that Catholicism was the only true religion, they were banished from places. Yet another way society rules separate people is by isolating people who don't live up to a rule.
Furthermore, when these wrongs are recognized they are hard to change. This is true because of the stigma people encounter when trying to initially voice a concern about a society rule. When this stigma doesn't stop the person, it is hard to get others to join a fight against a society rule because of the additional stigma they encounter. Finally, when a movement to change a society rule is in motion, the rule doesn't change until many years or decades later.
Altogether, society rules are not needed because they isolate and encourage groupings, dictate the lives of people, and are set in stone. These rules were once good rules. However, society rules do not evolve with the society. They become useless and a rough spot in what could have otherwise been a great society. Without society rules people could unite into a true society.
Discipline is the process of training oneself in obedience, self control, skill, etc. The controlled, ordered behaviour results from such training. Discipline is the basis of the whole universe. The solar system is governed by certain laws to maintain perfect harmony and beauty. Without this order, there would be utter chaos.
Discipline is a basic requirement of a civilized society. Citizens of a disciplined nation work with a spirit of cooperation and unity. Aristotle has rightly said, "Discipline is obedience to rules formed by the society for the good of all. Discipline should be inculcated from a very young age. Talent and genius alone are not enough to achieve success. Discipline has an equally important role to play. Talents blossom in a disciplined person.
Discipline in schools may reduce the violence and vandalism and help the students to focus better on their studies and career. Discipline is important even in the family. Parents must raise their children in a pleasant and disciplined atmosphere. They should teach them the right values. They should themselves lead an orderly life so that their children can learn from their example. Children growing in disciplined and happy homes become responsible adults. All should follow the rules and regulations laid by law.
Discipline means full realization of the sense of responsibility. This will bring progress and prosperity in the society and the nation. A proper and reasonable balance has to be stuck between liberty and discipline. The restraints or discipline must course be designed for the social good and it is obvious that excessive restraints will inevitably lead to the erosion of human liberties.
