Moral Rules Are For The Best

In the readings about Hobbes and Rousseau, Hobbes believes that people are better off living in a world with moral rules than without. I believe his theory because living in a world without moral rules would be a mess and chaotic. Moral rules, especially rules and laws supported by our government helps maintain a better society. It limits on what people can do and protects other people from harm and injustice. An example would be someone trying to rob a bank for money, people do not usually rob banks because they know that they would be punished by the law. I also believe that there's no such thing as a perfect society, there are few cases in which people rob banks and do other wrong things. The main idea is that people are better off living in a world with moral rules than without because with no moral rules everything would be in chaos.

Do you think people could live in a world without moral rules such as laws provided by government?
