Is an Individual ever Justified in Breaking the Law?
In a law there always seems to be exceptions; even if these exceptions are minuscule and do not happen very often they are present. These exceptions do not mean you are following the law, but you are breaking it for a just cause. Most of these exceptions seem to center around a love for someone. If a loved one was dying and you could not afford the medicine or antidote; you would not just let them die. You would probably steal the medicine for the betterment of the loved one. It does not mean what you did was right, but you did it for the greater good of your loved one. Nobody can say they would just stand idle as a loved one was in pain and you could not do anything that was legal to help them. On that same note you should not exploit this love for someone. You should not break the law unless you or your loved one are in immediate danger of dying or being permanently scarred. These times to break the law are small and far between, so I do not want to give the idea that if you have a headache you should break into a supermarket for Advil. If one law was never to be broken it would be murder. If you kill the person out of protection you are protected under the law, so if you kill a person not under the law there should be no exceptions. In conclusion you can break the law for a betterment of a loved one, but at the same time there are laws that should never be broken.
