LAW IS EVERYWHERE Although not everything deals with “The
Law” by definition, most things deal with legal issues. This does not have to include courts and fines. It can include disputes, crimes, or moral issues.
“The Law” has its origins in real life issues like these.
Basically, laws are cause and effect Something happened and the effect was
to come up with a law or set of laws to create order.

MY APOLOGIES I’m sorry in advance because in order to
be successful in this class you must think.
In fact, you will have to do more than think. You will have to reason.
In order to reason, you will have to learn strategies for reasoning.
