In response to the question asked if it is possible that all things legal are linked back to some sort of ethics, or rather could all things that are ethical be linked back to some legality, I think that all things legal are linked back to some sort of ethics because for something to be legal- it has more power and something has already been established. The definition of legal would refer to something of which that is appointed, established, or authorized by the law. For example, in order to buy lottery tickets you would have to be the age of 18. As the textbook has stated, ethics is defined as the moral principles or values that generally govern the conduct of an individual or a group. I think this is the case because for something to be legal you have to qualify for it and fit the qualifications.
There are other differences between ethics and legal. For example, laws can change over
time, they vary from state to state. But, for the most part, political and economic interests are often determined for how laws get passed and what is in those laws. But on the other hand, ethics are way different. Ethics exceed time, place, and other qualities. In this case, this is possible for them to not be related at all in this situation.
Do you think that one has more power over the other? How would you qualify which is more powerful?
