♦ Have you ever played the game ‘Kulam Kara’? What are the rules of the ‘Kulam Kara’ game?
• Children should stand around the outside of a circle.

• As the child in the middle of the circle controls the game, repeatedly says ‘Kulam Kara’, the children standing around must jump alternately to the pond and to the land.
• In some cases the child controlling the game will repeat the same word instead of saying 'Kulam Kara’l'.

• Laws are essential to ensure a better life and protection for every individual in the society. 
• Laws are meant for the welfare of everyone in the society.

If the rules are not followed, conflicts arise. This endangers the existence of the society. Therefore, violation of rules is punishable.

♦ Laws are formed mainly in two ways. What are they?
• laws or rules formed through social norms or practices
• laws formed by systematic mechanisms

♦ Laws or rules formed through social norms or practices
• All the laws that existed in the ancient society were formed from norms or practices.
• Generally, these were not strictly written. 
• They were implemented in society through social norms and customs.

♦ Laws formed by systematic mechanisms
• In the modern era, such laws which are required for the nation are made by the respective governments through the state system called legislature.
• Legislatures also make laws following strong public opinion, in addition to the laws made by the governments on their initiative. 
• Judgements of the court, interpretations of the law and recommendations made by the courts often contribute to the formation of new laws. In this way, laws are also formulated through the interventions of the courts of law.

♦ Attention Pedestrians  
• In our country, vehicular traffic is on the left side of the road. If you walk on the right side of the road, you can see the oncoming vehicles clearly. If we walk on the left side, we can not see the vehicles coming from behind. This increases the risk of accidents. 
• If there are sidewalks, use them while walking on the road. Walk only on the right side of the road, if there are no sidewalks. 
• More than two people together should not walk on the same side of the road.
• Do not walk through areas where pedestrians are prohibited.
• Never walk on the road using mobile phones and headsets.
• Cross the road only after looking first to the right and then to the left to make sure that there are no vehicles. Cross the road only at zebra crossing if there are zebra lines.
