　　题目翻译

　　现代社会的很多问题是法律和立法系统无法解决的，因为道德行为是无法用法律约束的。

　　Outline

　　I agree with this assertion insofar as it relates to constraints on certain personal freedoms. However, when it comes to the conduct of business, I think that moral behavior not only can but must be legislated for the purpose of alleviating societal problems.

　　1. Morality laws that impinge upon freedom of choice about our personal lives—to control what we do with and to ourselves—simply do not work in a democratic society.

　　2. Morality laws impinging on personal freedoms are not made any more useful or effective by purporting to serve the greater good of society, because on balance their costs far outweigh their benefits.

　　3. In sharp contrast to personal behavior, the behavior of businesses can and must be controlled through legislation.
