Law is defined as a system of rules that normally prescribes acceptable and morally standards of conduct. Law is usually enforced through a set of institutions including legislative, executive and judicial arms. Thus, law shapes politics, economics and society in specific ways and mandates the relationship between people and organizations. For instance, law keeps citizens in order and protects harm for the people and their property as well as their rights. Sanctions such as punishments, fines, imprisonments will be incurred to those people who violate or go against the established rules of conducts.

According to history, law is ancient and can be dated back to 1760BC that actually referred to the Code of Hammurabi, written by an ancient Babylonian King. Nowadays, most countries practice legal system that most probably are formed up by either common law or nature law. In parenthesis, there are many definitions from philosophy of law that is a branch of philosophy and jurisprudence which studies basic questions about law and legal system, such as “what is law?”. Anyway, to conclude all the definitions studied in philosophy of law, law is a very vital and necessary connection between human beings and morality. This is because it is social rules, practices and certain identified norms that ensure human beings to live in a harmony society.

In the nutshell, law has no specific definition. In fact, it is just a rule and guideline of lawful behavior. Law is to prove justice, so that justice will prevail. Law can be a punishment and lesson for those who attempt to break social harmony. Law is just a law. In my own opinion, law is intangible but it exists all the time around us in order to promote harmony for human beings.
