To begin with, countries with the strict laws have minimal crirne rate.

For
example, in Singapore smuggling drugs is a criminal offence and one has to face
death penalty and therefore such activities hardly take place there. This
exemplifies that laws can alter peoples behaviour. Thus, there is an obvious link
between laws and human behaviour.
Furthermore, in The UAE, kissing in public is a punishable offence. Every citizen
of this country is aware of the law and its hard to find anyone breaking the law
and it is the culture of the country. This example clearly shows that the absence
of law may create an unfavourable environment for the smooth functioning of
the society. Therefore, legislations definitely affect our behaviour.
To summarise, the above analysis establishes that there is a strong positive
correlation between law and human behaviour. It has been proven that many
countries use lass as a major tool for reforms. It is expected that lawmakers will
continue to use it for the betterment of the society in future.
Firstly , wearing helmets by bicycle and two wheeler riders is made compulsory by the
government . This rule is made so that if they meet with an accident their heads are protected.
Similarly , wearing a seatbelt while driving is also mandatory . For long these rules existed but not
followed always . In recent times when fines were introduced for breaking these laws , we now see
everybody obediently following the same rules.
Secondly , punishments like imprisonment , life sentence , death sentence etc are made so that it
acts as a deterrent for not indulging in illegal activities . Hence, people due to fear of these
punishments abstain from activities that may disturb the laws in a society. In the absence of these
punishments people would have done anything they desire at the cost of the peace of the people
around them .
Thirdly , rules are made for appropriate vehicle parking . Especially in and around shopping centres
and theatres where there is a crowd of people visiting the place, wrong parking can result in a
chaotic situation causing a traffic of vehicles on the road . But since fines are applied to wrong
parking , drivers see to that they park their vehicles in parking areas only.

To conclude , I strongly believe law changes human behavior . They are needed for the smooth
running and functioning of the country .
