Who sets ethics?
Short answer. Society and your own conscience.
What do you lose by acting unethically?
Trust.
Legal vs ethical
| Legal | Ethical | |
|---|---|---|
| Set by | Government | Conscience |
| Broken | Fine or jail | Lost trust |
Remember
| Legal: written law |
| Ethical: right and wrong |
| Legal is not always ethical |
If it is legal, is it always right? Laws come from government. Ethics come from conscience. Breaking laws brings punishment. Breaking ethics costs trust. Remember. Legal is written law. Ethical is right and wrong. They may not match.
