An Issue of Law

As I've begun taking notes on law for my essay, I have been drawn to the moral side of the law and how it affects the choices people of a society make. In Antigone, Creon's son shares the ideas of his father, but he tells the king not to act so godly and to accept others' thoughts and opinions. At first Creon is happy to have such an obedient son, since that's the respectable way to be. But, this "respect" also encourages closed thinking. If the son is led to think the way his father thinks and such happens for generations, no new ideas are created and no one has an individual opinion. The same happens as an effect of law; when something is widely accepted and never challenged, everyone will think the same way. Law therefore naturally creates monotonous thought and should be challenged whenever seen necessary in order to preserve diverse opinion.
