　　正文：
　　Ever since the Code of Hammurapi comes into being, laws have begun to put restrictions 1 on people's behaviors and have played an important role in the maintenance of social order. But aside from its impact on shaping public deportment, legislation is of no avail to reform human nature as well as mankind thoughts.
　　Our collective life experience is that we make choices and decisions every day--under a legal system. No one is ever granted the rights to surpass the boundary of laws; otherwise there may be lack of protection for private property and personal right from being violated. Common sense tells us that the laws will punish the wrongdoers severely 2 sometimes so harshly even to sentence the felons 3 to death. It is the awe 4 to controlling authority as well as the fear of castigation 5 that made most of the people away from the illicit 6 behaviors. Laws, for better or worse, have put up a paradigm 7 on which people abide 8 by, for the sake of personal interests and the social stability as well.
　　Laws can exert their influences on people’s “hands and legs”, but when it comes to man’s hearts and minds, it cannot. In the long history of its development, laws change over time and vary from region to region not to alter human nature but to be flexible enough to take account of various circumstances, times and places. The end of a legal system impels 9 laws to evolve to keep pace with changing mores 10, customers, and our collective sense of equity 11 but with little concern for the reconstruction 12 of human thoughts. Bigamy, to be commonly regarded as illegal in most countries, is yet legitimate 13 in some Arabian countries. For Islamic, outlawing 14 bigamy seems an impinge upon their religious freedom of choosing mates. Instead of bringing about a revolution in the conception of marriage among Islamic disciples 15, laws give way to the entrenched 16 customers. Still more, from the psychotic analysis angle, that laws will change nature is further doubted. Sigmund Freud has divided the individual personality into threefold: the id, the ego 17 and the super ego. The ego, as the surface of the nature and the part you show the world, is governed by the "reality principle," otherwise known as laws.
　　However, so powerless are laws to extend its impacts on the id and the superego remains 18 below, each has its own significant effects on the personality. A rapist, for example, despite years of imprisonment 19 may still relapse into outrages 20 in that laws fail to civilize 21 the id desires composing of instinctual drives. By no means can laws alone alter our nature. Were laws by itself be able to cause a change in the human nature and exercise a fundamental influence on people's hearts and minds, then it would probably be no need for its existence. People at no time can ever have imagined this.
　　In fact, to truly change the human nature, it is through the synergic efforts associating the education, moral and ethic 22 social interactions altogether that brought about a reconstruction of human nature.
　　In conclusion, in spite the fact that we may live in a harmonious 23 society with the implementation 24 of the laws, it seems unthinkable for laws to undertake the role as a reformer in rebuilding man's nature as well as hearts and minds.
