The teleological concept of law is based on the natural law philosophy, the

natural law, as was defined by Plato and Aristotle, is a discipline to which human

conduct and relations must conform in order to realize both the individual and the

common good.

Accordingly, it is also defined as the universal discipline of virtue in the exercise

of their rights, in the performance of their obligations, in the observance of rules, and the

preservation of order and unity.

Thus, it is based on the idea that there is a very present bond or relationship

existing between positive law and natural law, hence, for the teleologists, the natural law

provides for a magnanimous influence in shaping the concept of law than any other

idea.

In addition, they consider the natural law as the most potent force in the

development of legal institutions and legal concepts, by which, it is said that, it is upon

the precepts of the natural law that the completeness of the legal order can be

achieved. For that matter, the teleological school of jurisprudence believes that a good

legal order can be deduced from the natural law, thus making the law universally valid

for all people.

We are alarmed by the influx of heinous crimes nationwide especially the Rape

Slay Cases in Bulacan several weeks ago and Sotto filed Senate Bill 2080 seeking the

revival of the Republic Act 7659 or the Death Penalty Law in the Philippines through

Lethal Injection. That death penalty is appropriately necessary due to the alarming

increase of crimes which has resulted not only to loss of lives and wanton destruction of

property but also affects the nations efforts towards sustainableand sufficient economic

development and prosperity while at the same time has undermined the peoples faith in

the Government and the latters ability to maintainpeace and order in the country. Also

the Drug Trafficking, a drug trafficker was executed by firing squad in the early 1970s

and this had effectively eliminated the illegal drug trade in the country for at least 10

years.

In the positivist side, when the Death Penalty is revived, it may lessen the drug

trafficking and crime. Since the punishment for crime stated in the Death penalty Law is

death. It is just. However, in the teleological side, it is immoral and unjust. Lets sayyes,

the accused committed crime and sentence to death but you still kill the accused and

its immoral and unjust.

For me, death penalty is not the solution against criminality; the best solution is to

have a discipline to ourselves and its stated in the Divine Law that killing is bad. WE are

old enough know what is right and what is wrong. Only temperate person knows himself

or herself and, thus, able to bring his or her emotion under control and there is no

intentionally bad or evil person because if the knowledge of justice.

The Death Penalty itself is impractical since it is contrary to what Gods one of

the Ten Commandments, stated that, thou shalt not kill.

As necessity, Teleological School of Jurisprudence is needed for us to know that

doing bad is wrong and unjust. As a citizen, the good world will starts with you. You will

decide if you want to do right or wrong. Nowadays, We should learn how to put God in

our hearts, how to love people around us, how we can do the right things without hurting

others. We need to disciple ourselves because no other people that we know us inside

and out but only us. We know our selves very well. Because if we have, even if we do

not have law, we can still live in a good world without crimes in the streets.

This is the time to change; we need to change ourselves of what habit we are

doing especially if it is unjust. Even the positive Law comes from the Natural law, and all

will fall back to Natural Law.

As Plato said, human beings are capable of discerning justice from injustice.

And, for him rational justice sufficient to enable a person to attain his or her moral

nature and good faith and to keep his or her self-respect by doing good and shunning

evil.
