Rules

Rules are nessesary to have a “civilized” society. Enforcing the rules is a difficult problem because not everyone in society is the same. That doesn’t mean that special treatment should be rewarded to those “good” people. Explain how each scenario is just.

Scenario 1:
A student is walking down the hall after the bell has rung, he’s not walking fast. The principal catches him and gives him ISS. However there is no rule that says he gets ISS for being late to class.

Scenario 2:
A straight a student, who’s never got in trouble, is late to school in his rush he doesn’t realize as his ID gets caught on something in his car. As he walks past a teacher the teacher tells him to put his ID on he looks down and realizes he forgot it somewhere. He starts retracing his steps and is stopped by the principal who without question throws him in ISS.
