Question 16

How do ethical norms differ from the law?

Answer

Ethical norms are moral principles guiding behaviour based on concepts of right and wrong and are often subjective, varying by culture and personal values. They are not legally enforceable and rely on societal expectations. In contrast, laws are formal, objective rules established by governing bodies to regulate behaviour and maintain order, with legal consequences for non-compliance.
