Question.1172 - In this Module, we have discussed competing views regarding law's ability to produce meaningful social change. This discussion is your opportunity to express your viewpoint.. Using concrete examples and course material, answer the following question: Does law drive social change, or does legal change drive society?

Answer Below:

The law drives social change by making clear about the punishments and the rewards; there are certain behaviors that will be rewarded, and some will be punished. It is important to understand that the relationship between social change and law is complex and has a different perspective. Laws can be seen to have a perspective nature, and they help guide the shape of society and establish regulations. However, the way legal changes drive society is by reflecting the social values and beliefs of a society. The legal changes in society occur to shift the opinion of the public, social movements, and cultural norms advocating for change.
