PTE Writing Essay Question – Laws can change human behavior. Do you agree or
disagree?

PTE Writing Essay Sample –

In the competitive world, laws play a vital role in our life which is laid by the
government to maintain discipline and harmony in country or nation. Some people
think that laws prove to be a very essential for our life but some people have a contrary
view. For me, this statement is feasible that laws are requisite in the 21st century.
To commence with, as we all know that laws have been made since immemorial.
Without laws, we cannot imagine the real world in the discipline. Basically, we can say
people will feel fear while doing the erroneous task. For instance, In an Arab country,
Dubai, laws are very hard and stern and everyone knows about the punishment while
breaking laws. Hence, the crime rate is very less.
Furthermore, take traffic rules, for instance, fined are lived for jumping red lights and
traffic violation. Punishment like imprisonment, life sentence, death sentence etcetera is
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.
To conclude, it can be said that laws are necessary to survive in the competitive
era where the crime rate is increasing day by day.
