Rules help us live together in a community. At my local park, there is a sign that reads, "Keep off the grass. "Why do park officials want to stop people from walking on the grass?Because our community has a need for a nice green space to relax, we are all expected to keep our park clean and in good condition for everyone's enjoyment. If everyone walked on the grass, the grass would die. No one would be able to enjoy a beautiful green park. Sometimes, people disobey the rules and play soccer on the grass. Although it's not enough to destroy the grass, I feel that everyone should obey the rules. If one person breaks the rules, then more people expect to be able to do what they want.In a community, rules are in place to protect everyone. What we do and how we act affect everyone, not just ourselves. We need rules in order to live safely. If there were no rules or laws, it would be difficult to prevent people from committing more serious crimes.
