Detailed

Conclusion

In this section, the critical importance of laws is highlighted, particularly in contexts such as markets, workplaces, and society as a whole. Laws serve as protective mechanisms against exploitationβ€”be it through unfair wages, child labor, hazardous working conditions, or environmental degradation. Private companies often prioritize profits, leading to unfair treatment of workers and consumers. Consequently, it falls to governments to implement and enforce robust laws that uphold social justice. This entails not only creating suitable legislation but also ensuring its rigorous enforcement to safeguard the marginalized and shield against market abuses. The Bhopal gas tragedy serves as a poignant example of the consequences when enforcement of laws fails, highlighting the need for vigilance by the state against private sector transgressions. Furthermore, it emphasizes that citizens have a role in demanding accountability from both corporations and government to ensure a balance that respects rights and sustains justice for all.
