Rules: Difference between Us and Animals

      As much as we hate rules and believe that they suspend us from the ability to live freely, we REALLY need rules or else things would go too freely and then lead to chaos and insanity. As a civil society, rules hold our values and morals true and keeps us on the straight and narrow path. They help keep our priorities straight and the ability to achieve them fair and square. Rules are necessary for things to function properly because without proper instruction and authority to enforce them, nothing would be gotten done as people would do whatever they choose to do, which doesn't always contribute to the greater good for everyone as a whole. Rules keep us in line, as well as gives us the perspective of a society with rules and how it benefits from even the most strictest of orders. We may not always like rules, and they often don't allow what we desire, but they're very much necessary for us to actually enjoy anything at all without dramatically affecting anything else.

        Monkey see, monkey do, and a part of human nature still does hold onto our ancestors and primitive relatives' instinctual behaviors. Children learn from their parents and their children learn from them, and if everyone were to follow the rules, there would be no chaos. As we grow older, we often grow a better perspective of the rules that were enforced upon us as children because we gradually learn the importance of following the rules. Although it's important for people to learn, understand, and follow the rules at an early age because they'll soon be the ones enforcing them. The following of rules and laws generation by generation will guarantee a orderly life that everyone can prosper from without any problems slipping through. By each generation, as children become adults, it's important that they also properly understand the rules and priorities of any place because it's more than likely they'll become very influential leaders to those younger than them, who will learn from the adults and do as they do and say.
     Like said before, many people just don't agree with rules, or just want to break them because they're rules. They get off of the adrenaline of breaking the rules along with the feelings of determination, being self-confident, and an immense amount of pride in themselves. They receive a rush from being dynamic in comparison to those who follow the rules, making it seem they're distinguishing themselves from all the others. Instead, they're simply acting proud and childish as they believe that breaking the rules are much more important than following them or their personal priorities are more important than those of others who benefit from everyone following the rules. While it's completely okay to differentiate yourself from others, it shouldn't be acceptable to think only of yourself which is rules are inhibited into places and activities you go/do everyday.
