Legal pertains to the law, while ethics pertains to morals. Sometimes they can intertwine and form laws that are ethical, but there definitely is a difference.
laws control what people can and cannot do, while ethics are moral standards on what you should or shouldn't do but don't necessarily have any consequences
yes there is a difference between legal and ethical ,law controls what people can and cannot do, while ethics are moral standards that govern what people should or should not do.
Yes, laws reflect the ethics and values of a country, and vary from place to place quite a bit. What is legal here may seem unethical somewhere else, and vice versa.
Yes, Legal is whether something directly opposes the law or goes along with the law. Ethical is whether something is morally wrong and there are a lot of different opinions and points of view when it comes to ethics.
Yes, legality is bound to a written set of rules that run our government. What is legal isn't always ethical. There aren't any specific laws that define ethics, but it is implied that they be used in whatever way possible. Ethics are moral principles that should be used in decision-making. When the government makes decisions, they must factor the ethical and legal ramifications. A good example of this would be the Dakota Access Pipeline, it is a legal action, but it goes right through Native American land, breaking an ethical code.
Yes. What's considered ethical comes from culture and depends on the perspective of whoever is making a decision. Legal things are already decided by governments and higher ups for the purpose of leading a country, while acting ethical is more suited for running a business and making ethical decisions for a company. You can say that what's legal is a drawn line, and what's ethical is a different line that measures similarly to the legal line, except it's what is and isn't good for the company, rather than a country.
Laws are what people create to set a precedence on what is allowed and not allowed. Ethics are inside everyone and is what allows people to decide what they should and shouldn't do.
Legality is the technical and "by the book" way to approach matters to avoid any trouble with lawyers; however, ethics is a personal standard and how you chose to apply that in personal decisions.

ReplyDeleteThe law is what is permitted by the legal system and ethics is a matter of moral principles.
ReplyDeleteSomething that is legal is not always ethical, for example, the death penalty is legal is some places but killing someone is not ethical.

Laws determine what people are allowed and not allowed to do while ethics determine things people should and should not do.
ReplyDeleteLaw is what is allowed, ethics are what should be done.

ReplyDeleteLegal may send you to jail but that doesn't mean its ethical.
ReplyDeleteLaw determines what you can and cannot do, while ethics are someone's personal views on what is right or wrong.
