The Miracle

Role of Law In Our Life

- By:Khadija Nadeem , Grade 6 Surrey

Children don’t understand how important it is for us to know about Canada’s Justice System. I myself learnt more about it from a field trip to the Surrey Provincial Courthouse. Learning about the Justice System is especially important for immigrants, such as myself, because in order to adapt to a country and its culture, you need to understand the rules that hold together the society and environmen­t that surrounds you. It is important for us to know about the laws we live by. I say this because we might know about the basic laws such as Don’t steal’ or Don’t go above the speed limit’ but our community is evolving and with that comes more sophistica­ted laws, and in order to obey these laws we must actually know them. A way we could find out about these type of things is through a common resource we all use daily. Through school, by asking our teachers or through educationa­l field trips. We can also ask our parents about these laws, as being adults the law is common knowledge for them. But the largest resource we regularly use is the technology we have access to, particular­ly the internet. As kids living in the 21st century we all should know how to use basic technology and utilize it to our benefit. These are the types of things we can do to understand the law and knowing these laws will be the first step to a better life. You might wonder why or how but obeying laws has a big impact on your future and the career you might want to pursue. For example, if you do not abide by the laws and want to work for a large company as a truck driver the employer might not consider you if you have had a lot of speeding tickets. As you can see the way you act now will have a large impact on your future which is where the famous Tuote by John Heywood comes in - Look before you leap’. This Tuote was very wisely said as it gives Tuite a lot of guidance in 4 words. Well, that is my last piece of advice for you and I hope that you indefinite­ly look before you leap.
