think that culture affect laws. I think it very much depends on the countrys culture that reflects its laws. Some countries have very strict laws based off of religion which dont allow women to go to school, and etc. So I think it very much depends on that countrys culture, society, and its opinion on right and wrong. David D.
I agree with you. Its what that society sees as right and wrong, and how they will complete certain task such as washing eggs before sending them to market. It is up to the society to dictate what happens within it, and laws are made to reflect that certain culture or custom. -Brandon Manautou
Culture affects laws. The laws that are passed are based off of the current culture. They cant make laws that don't have anything to do with the overall culture in society. - Jack Haley
I strongly disagree with this remark. Culture can affect laws, but is there a certain rule that states that laws must have something to do with culture? Do gun control laws and immigration laws have anything to do with the culture of a society? - Sumanth Nallamotu
Culture effects laws. Many countries don't have a separation between church and state. So the laws of the local culture and religion sometimes impact the laws of the land. -Mariya Ali
I think culture effects laws more than laws effect culture. The sort of culture that we Americans want to live in is created by the laws that our policymakers who represent the people adopt. This is evident in the way gay marriage is now legal after American culture became more accepting. - Rahul Soni
I think culture affects law more than laws affect culture. Certain laws are created because they need to bring order to a society, but most other laws are unique to each society. The culture created in a society is already predetermined so it definitely has more weight in how the laws are created. Alekhya Peruri.
I agree with you. I also like how you said most other laws are unique to society. But is culture predetermined? Recently gay marriage laws were passed but before that we didn't know that it would be passed. (Amanda Le)
I think that the culture affects laws more than laws affect the culture. For example the laws on marijuana are being changed by the cultural changes. Today marijuana is legal in many states and is becoming rapidly more accepted and thus the laws are changing to allow it.
Laws affect culture, as they may prohibit or limit cultural benefits. For example, a ban of a certain practice may limit cultural takeaways from that practice. Overall, laws affect culture more than culture affects laws. - Sumanth Nallamotu
Hm, that is an interesting view Summanth. I suppose that's a valid point but how do you explain places where the main state religion affects the laws of the state?
I don't agree that laws affect culture. I agree laws may limit cultural practices but there are ways of still passing on the cultural takeaway without practicing the tradition that's banned.
Culture affect laws because laws are made based on culture. Other places have different culture so they have different laws. For example, we value education and so education is mandatory here. (Amanda Le)
Laws are accurate ways to reflect the culture around us. Culture will affect laws because laws are relative to the time and circumstances in which the laws are placed. The culture will determine what society believes is right or wrong. Lastly, culture determines what the consequence will be if a law if broken. Ansh Chaudhari
I agree that laws are relative to the time and circumstances in which they are made. Culture has a huge influence on how our laws are made. Culture plays a role in morality, and consequences for different actions are different for various cultures. Alekhya Peruri.
I don't agree. Culture doesn't affect laws, because if it did then people would be permitted to do things they can't do right now. Laws restrict people from preforming traditions their culture is made of.
I think culture affects law. Countries have certain cultures that the government is sworn to protect, therefore logically speaking the laws that the government passes are with the intention of protecting and preserving those cultures and traditions of the people. The government is influenced by culture because the people typically elect their officials. - Brinda Sinha
I also agree that the culture affects the laws. I really like your point about how the government is sworn to protect the citizens, therefore it affects the culture. Finally, I completely agree with your last sentence about how the government protects the nation's culture because typically the government is run be elected officials.
I think laws affect culture. Laws determine what you can and can't do. There are so many ridiculous laws we have today. Some cultures may have traditions, but they can't preform them because they can risk getting arrested.
I strongly disagree because laws revolve around the culture to begin with. If you are a part of a certain culture you wouldn't pass a law stopping you from doing something associated with your culture. -Danny
Culture affects laws by having set guidelines that many people where the law is in effect follow as common practice. If the laws affect culture then it may disturb many people practices which could lead to major problems, and possible decline in production. Laws are made to be common guidelines for people to follow without impacting their lives in a major way. -Brandon Manautou
I agree that the laws should be based on the culture. If they were in conflict, more people would be in jail because they would rather break the law and follow their culture. Ansh Chaudhari
In my opinion the culture of the country affects the laws. The governments role is to create laws the protect the values and traditions of their citizens. The citizens of a nation typically elect their officials therefore the laws will be affected by the culture. -Kaitlyn Pollock
I think that cultures affect laws more than laws affect cultures. I think this is true because some cultures are the very reason why some laws exist. -Anmol Patel
Culture affect laws, culture is the foundation of laws. In different cultures they have different laws to match what they think is morally correct.Japan has the second-lowest murder rate in the world because it is prohibited to own a firearm. Simone Barnes
I agree with this statement, however I think that the reason the Japan has the second lowest murder rate in the world is because of the values that are instilled and the rigorous lifestyle that people have. I know that in Japan you are able to get guns rather easily (not legally).
i believe cultures affect laws. example is religion, in Saudi Arabia if you steal they'll chop of your hand.
