UTILITARIANISM INFLUENCES REGULATORY LAWS THAT GOVERN VARIOUS ASPECTS OF PUBLIC LIFE - A STUDY

Abstract

Libertarian theories prioritize individual freedom and property rights, advocating minimal state intervention and influencing property law and economic regulations. Communitarian justice highlights the role of community and cultural context in defining fairness, impacting family law and collective rights. Feminist theories challenge traditional legal frameworks, advocating for reforms that address gender inequalities and promote inclusivity. Restorative justice, a more recent development, shifts focus from punitive measures to repairing harm and reconciling relationships, offering an alternative approach to addressing crime and conflict. Modern legal systems integrate these theories to address the complexities of contemporary societies, striving to balance individual rights with collective needs. The dynamic application of these diverse theories reflects the ongoing evolution of legal systems as they adapt to new social, technological, and cultural challenges while upholding core principles of justice and fairness.
