No I don't.  Women still are discriminated against in the workplace here in the United States; and in many other nations, they face even more severe restrictions.  Women are also greatly marginalized by the world's predominant religions.  Judeo-Christian mythology still contends that women were made from Adam's rib, soley as a companion for Adam.  Muslim women are severely oppressed as well.\n\nThe human race isn't as far out of the jungle as it often gives itself credit for!

This may not be helpful for your homework, but it seems like ALL laws curtail personal freedoms, while being intended to protect society in some way.  It seems like the only laws that would NOT make your list would be laws that you believed were wrong because they actually did nothing useful to protect society.\n\nMaybe your teacher has something grander in mind, but from the way you described the question, it seems like you could pick any 4 traffic laws or parking ordinances even.
