The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday; in most, it no longer does. It used to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer; in most, it still does. And whether the work week should strengthen its legal limits, or whether it should become more “flexible” is often debated. How should we ,as a society,organize our time? Should we go even further in relaxing the boundaries of time until we live in a world in which evey minute is much like every other?
These are not easy questions even to ask. Part of the difficulty is that we rarely recognize the “law of time” even when we meet it face to face.We know as children that we have to attend school a certain number of hours, a certain number of days, a certain number of years – but unless we meet the truant officer (学监) ,we may well think that we should go to school due to social custom and parents’ demand rather than to the law. As adults we are familiar with “extra pay for overtime working”, but less familiar with the fact that what constitutes(构成) “overtime” is a matter of legal definition. When we turn the clock forward to start daylight – saving time, have we ever thought to ourselves: “Here is the law in action”? As we shall see, there is a lot of law that has great infuence on how organize and use time:compulsory education law,overtime law, and daylight-saving law---as well as law about Sunday closing, holidays, being late to work ,time zones, and so on. Once we begin to look for it ,we will have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and assess.
