Awareness of the Laws Applicable in the Community

in r2cornell •  2 years ago 
Humans are born with different traits, characters, talents, wills, and interests. As social beings, humans need each other in social life. The community environment is a place to develop humans themselves in cooperating, socializing, and earning a living to meet their needs. However, due to differences in the interests and desires of one person with another, conflicts often occur which cause conflicts in society. This can lead to a social environment that is not harmonious, disorderly, not peaceful, and insecure. Therefore, to prevent these negative things from happening, it is necessary to have a law that regulates relationships and develops an attitude of legal awareness to live life between people.

Legal awareness can be interpreted as awareness of a person or a group of people to the rules or laws that apply. Legal awareness is needed by a society. This is intended so that order, peace, tranquility, and justice can be realized in the association between people. Without having a high legal awareness, this goal will be very difficult to achieve.

This is also the case among students, for example the occurrence of fights/brawls between students due to the lack of student awareness of the law. As a result of weak legal awareness, people's lives will become restless and uneasy. Therefore, we should develop a conscious attitude towards the law.

Legal awareness needs to be instilled from an early age starting from the family environment, that is, every family member can train himself to understand his rights and responsibilities towards the family, respect the rights of other family members, and carry out his obligations before claiming his rights. If this can be done, then he will also get used to applying the awareness he already has in a wider environment, namely the community and even the state.

The first factor influencing legal awareness is knowledge of legal awareness. Regulations in law must be widely disseminated and have been valid. Then by itself the rules will be spread and quickly known by the public. People who violate do not necessarily violate the law. This is because it could be due to a lack of public understanding and knowledge about the awareness of the laws and regulations that apply in the law itself.

The next factor that influences legal awareness is about public obedience to the law. Thus all the interests of the community will depend on the provisions in the law itself. However, there is also an assumption that legal compliance is caused by fear of punishment or sanctions that will be obtained when violating the law.

Legal awareness is actually a relatively concrete indication of the level of legal awareness. Briefly explained again that the first indicator is legal knowledge. A person knows that certain behaviors are regulated by law. The legal regulations referred to here are written law and unwritten law. This behavior involves behavior that is prohibited by law and behavior that is permitted by law. The second indicator is understanding of the law.

To cultivate this habit of being aware of the law is the challenge and responsibility of all parties. A culture of being aware and obeying the law must be instilled from an early age. So the element of education is the spearhead in instilling attitudes and habits to comply with existing rules. Educational institutions are primary socialization media that greatly influence the formation of human character in the future. If the attitude and behavior of obeying the law has been instilled since the early days, then in the future, the attitude to respect and obey the rules will be ingrained and entrenched in society. Of course this is done by providing correct knowledge about what not to do and what to do.

The high legal awareness in an area will create a civilized society. Building legal awareness from an early age, does not have to wait after violations and action by law enforcement. Prevention efforts are considered very important and can be started from within the family as the smallest unit of society. It is this awareness that we must build starting from the family.

With this legal awareness, we will witness that there are no violations so that the ideal life will be met. Formal, informal and non-formal education institutions need to be invited to jointly develop legal awareness and intelligence from an early age. Legal education is not limited to formal education at school. But it can also be done outside of school. Learning about law from an early age must be taught to children. So that later embedded in them a sense of the need for the rule of law. So that legal awareness will be formed from an early age.
