Essay help: Santa is like the Law because..?

Question

The law is like Santa Clause because...?

This is the question for my homework (sort of an informal essay.)

I really have no idea what to write.

I think they are both rewards systems designed by people to keep behavior within expectable parameters.

My point of proof are:

- They both watch you: santa sees you when your sleeping ect.. and the law watches you though police officers.

- They both impose a rewards and consequences system:

Santa gives out gifts or coal, the law can put you in jail

-They both are created by humans to maintain order

Santa exists to help parents keep children in line, the law makes sure people behave so our society can function.

What do you think?

Answer 1

The children know that if they don't follow the rules, or be good...there will be bad repercussions, or consequences.

Just as people need to abide by the law or else they also face the consequences.  

Answer 2

another one:  some people believe in them, others don't

good job

Answer 3

you are right on target..... If you abuse your limits, you go down, as in coal from santa, or jail from the law.  

Answer 4

thats a good answer i think u should use that for your essay
