- I believe it is to reflect the views of all of the people because Canada is a very diverse country and prides itself of being so and should therefore listen to everybody when making these decisions and if there is too much conflict, maybe not creating a law is the best idea. - Taylor

-I would say it is the responsibility of criminal law with respect to morality to reflect the views of (ii) most of the people because that means that is likely to negatively affect the least amount of people and be along the lines of what the society is less likely to do, meaning if the majority of the society feels that murder is wrong then the majority of society should not intentionally commit murder and thus crime levels will be low. I would say (v) people who vote but I feel that is not fair and is the same as the most people  because just because a person voted did not mean that their opinion was the winner unless is it is the majority. I would also say (i) to reflect the views of all of the people but that would be impossible because there will almost never be a situation where everyone feel the same way, many people could want marijuana legalized but then some people could be totally against the legalization of it. So who gets their way? Well it would probably be like abortion where the government would simply not have any laws for or against which in this case is the same as legalizing it and would upset the people who want it illegal. 

- I feel as if criminal law should reflect the morality of those of all the people. If the views are for the wealthiest, then most likely those laws will be made to benefit them more. If it's for those who vote, or are the loudest then those ideas might be extreme or be harmful to others. - Evan

I think that moderate change over time is necessary to maintain laws that are reflective of the wants of contemporary society.

- Criminal law and law in generally is always evolving, whether society feels a law is outdated or a certain case gives a new outlook on to a law which then causes it to be change, written in or abolished. So since laws are being evolved by the opinion of the society, they will likely evolve with the contemporary society’s morals and ethics as well as what the society believes should be the punishment for not following these morals or ethics. For example, is criminally illegal to be an adulterer in some places but it isn’t in Canada because society decide while it is morally and ethically wrong but it should not be criminally punished while other countries have decided otherwise. I believe that as long as it does not infringe on anyone’s else's rights and freedoms that laws should evolve with the majority of society’s reasonable view of right and wrong.

- I do think that law should evolve to reflect specific views of society. However this is difficult as some areas of morality are not always absolute.  - Evan]]> 2018-02-15 03:09:06 UTC https://padlet.com/steven_jones2/uj0wx2qf6d0u/wish/231776383 steven_jones2 https://padlet.com/steven_jones2/uj0wx2qf6d0u/wish/231776417 - I don't think law in general should enforce morality. Since the morals of things change overtime, it would be pointless since we would be constantly changing law bases upon who thinks this is moral. - Evan

- No I do no believe criminal law nor any law should enforce morality simply because I believe that there are grey areas, not always a definite right things and a definite wrong thing to do. - Taylor

- Since laws are usually made by the opinion of the majority of the public's ideas of what is right and what is wrong, I believe that morality will be in laws because it often makes up what people believe to be right or wrong. However, the majority opinion of the public’s opinion in instances where things are morally “wrong”, can be legally infringing on people’s rights and freedoms. For example, a country with a majority population being Catholic should not be able to make it criminal to do something that is morally wrong in the eyes of the Catholic church, like saying the lord's name in vain, because it is not morally wrong for everyone, just Catholics and people have the right and freedom to choose their own religion and beliefs. Thus, I think morality should not be able to be criminally enforced but it is hard to remove morality for something that involves peoples opinions.

I see the benefits of morality in law yes but ultimately in my opinion I believe the law should be objective in law it focuses on the situation rather than a back round wich yes can be very very bad but I think the majority of the time being objective and apart from morality can keep things as equal and fair as possible morality comes in many different perspectives and views and with that their is a balance more depending on a person's belief in their own opinon vs an equal evaluation that could be alterd or swayed based on a particular moral obligation a person of authority has so one result will be different even if it was under the same circumstances which is unequal law is supposed to be for equality if we had morality results would be continually swayed and argued against to the point nothing would be accomplished and people would fight in court forever getting nowhere as oposse to objective insight that doesn't sway a case on the significance of it based on an opinion  peoples rights would be compromised .-Kaitlynd
