That's not a sentence. It's a fragment.
You could try, though, "...strict laws, rigid religious traditions and well-defined social roles..."

Because we can only guess what this is describing you will have to make this sentence fit what you are talking about but try something like this:
The reason for .............................. is due to the strict laws of that area and the people's very obvious roles in society. Their religious beliefs are also very clear cut as is their ethics and how they feel people should live their lives, where they come from and the principles they base their lives on.
Hope that is helpful. I asked everyone at home and they think it sounds like a 14 year old would write that too. Good luck and don't forget you can look up the dictionery on line to get the meaning of larger words to help you come up with a different way of saying things. Just make sure it makes sense to you and then the teacher will know you understand what you are writing.

Giving us the sentence before it and after it would have helped. You can try breaking it out into several different sentences, that's how the average 14 year old would probably write. I don't know what tense it's in but try this:
"Their religious and philosophical beliefs were very strong. They followed a strict set of laws and each had his or her own role in society."

Religious beliefs are clearly distinguished by social roles, for this clear cut philosophical strict laws are introduced.
Try this? xx

I've got a better idea
put the sentence in quote marks " " , and state your source (the page you got it from) then you would only have to show you understand the meaning of your quote.
this will get you the marks rather than something the teacher knows does not sound like you.

strict laws, easily understood scientific and religious beliefs as well as known social roles.
Thats the easiest way to put it while downplaying some of the bigger words. Its hard without the rest of the sentence but atleast it gives you something to play with:) Good luck

Please give a little more info.
What topic are you writing about? Are you writing about a society or some type of mission statement?
Also, don't feel bad that your English isn't good. Most Americans only know one language. Keep up the good work.

Hi Eve. It is OK to use these exact words as a quote! Put them in quotation marks and state the source of them (Wikepedia). When someone has stated something better than you are able to, it is better to use their exact words as a quote, than to weaken the idea with your own, but less clear, wording.
Best wishes and good luck.

"Rigid laws, fundamental philosophical and religious beliefs and stereotyped social roles"
I can't word it any better without knowing what subject you're talking about. If you can, email me about your subject at lakemoonstar@yahoo.com and I can do much better.

You do realize "rephrasing" is still plagiarism right?
And to people telling her to cite wikipedia, most teachers don't accept wikipedia as a source.
