The rule of Law and the value of Human Life
The Value of Human Life:
The most stabilizing forces in a society are the rule of law and the value of human life. The rule of law governs us in order to promote the security and stability necessary to allow for a functioning society, and the value of human life both enhances this quality of the rule of law and also protects those subject to the law from the potential oppression of the makers and enforcers of the law. A society that has a deep-rooted value for human life in the majority of the population is often more stable and safe than societies without a widespread value of human life. The value of human life can be ingrained through common cultural influences such as movies or music, as well as through social institutions such as churches or schools that teach both kids and adults the value and sanctity of human life. When those that don't value human life are marginalized by the rule of law and those that do value human life are the majority and given the most liberty, you have a healthy society and nation.
