Click it or Ticket. We have all heard the saying or seen the commercials on television broadcasting drivers violating the law by not buckling their seat belts and then police officers would stop them and give them tickets. The body practice of putting on your seat belt is one that is practiced constantly or not practiced at all by some, in which you buckle up for safety. It would be unethical to drive while not wearing your seat belt although we confuse the law as our guideline for ethical behavior. This body practice does help safe lives if they were to be in an accident and how it does it is by keeping the driver or passengers from seriously injuring themselves in a car crash. But in a more "rhetoric" sense, the seat belt body practice makes us feel that the law knows what is best for society. By imposing the rule of wear your seat belt or risk a ticket, it subjects us into following what they say. Although it is in better judgement to wear a seat belt while driving, who is to tell others how they should behave. So in an abstract and weird kind of way, this is like an intelligible body. It is an ideal, but never seemingly obtainable ideal that can never be 100% reached by society. So this particular body practice, is one where if it is not done, the penalty would leave your wallet much lighter than usual.
