There are many rules in life that apply to everyone, and everyone must follow them. There are other rules that occasionally can be broken. Some rules are okay to break sometimes. If there is ever a situation that you need to save someone you can break a rule. If you need to stand up for the rights of something you can break a rule. If there is ever a rule that just doesn't make sense, you can sometimes break a rule.

An example of these kinds of happenings is if somebody is drowning, but you are not supposed to swim that area, you can jump in and save that person. When discrimination was going on against African-Americans, they broke the rules to stand up for themselves to become equal. If you aren't supposed to cross the street in a certain spot but there aren't in cars in sight, you can cross the street. Some rules are made to be followed, while others can be broken every once in a while.
