Rules example essay topic

We all hate rules. Admit it. While rules are the very thread this world hangs by today, you still never hear many people say, "Gee, rules are cool". Even some of the very politicians who plan and support our nation's law books seem to wander from what they should enforce. Sure, many feel being the brown-noser, do-good, teacher's pet kinda citizen is not relevant. This is true.

But the fact remains: Rules exist for a reason! Among my list of rules I'm using to support this argument is (sorry, kids) Honor Your Mother and Father. For one thing, their rules are for your own welfare. I remember a time long ago when my mom told me not to go to the fish hatchery down the street because it was guarded by a dog.

Being the mischievous child I was, I ignored her advice. Not even 20 minutes later I had a rabid dog gnawing at my butt. Anyway... whatever your parents order is usually ordered out of love. Their rules are guidelines to keep you safe and out of danger's way!

I'll admit that even I, a rookie driver, am guilty of the most abused law in our society today: No Speeding! When you speed, you run the risk of getting caught (can you say duh?! ). Sure, the studies say that only 1% of all speeders are actually caught and ticketed, but goodness knows you'd end up paying some bogus fines! Also, even simple offenses like speeding do affect your records. Not only that, it affects the people around you.

Imagine, if you will, yourself at the wheel. The speed limit is 70 on the interstate, but you keep pushing to 90. If someone in front of you were to spontaneously put the [brake] pedal to the metal, think of what could happen when you couldn't stop soon enough: car damage (to say the least), cargo damage, damage to the people inside that vehicle... 'nuff said. Of course, there are many different scenarios for speeding accidents.

My last example is one we constantly hear of and will till the end of time: Don't Murder. Something that seems obvious to most people (except the sick, twisted people who actually do murder in cold blood) is that you will suffer the consequences. These include guilt (once again to say the least), jail time, and sometimes even an execution. Even if you get off because of a technicality or some stroke of luck, anyone with their head screwed on straight (or close to straight) will have to live with the guilt. Also, keep in mind that all living things are God's!

Nature is such a beauty, but now you can see how entire biomes are being obliterated by mans' effects on earth. Earth is in a downward spiral down the toilet for cryin out loud! And if I really cared to, I could make an entire essay on mankind's negative effects on Mother Nature. In conclusion, I cannot stress this enough: There is a good reason to support all rules and laws (most, anyway; another essay idea, eh? ).

They are made to keep everyone safe and sound, and to keep the peace. One can use the famous "Free Country" alibi, but that's not a good reason to violate someone else's freedom. So go ahead. Be a brown-noser. Do good.

Be the teacher's pet. Rules are cool.
