Activity 2:
Understanding what Legal, Moral, and Ethical is:  Legal vs Moral, Moral vs
Ethical, Moral vs Ethical behaviors.

The legal framework establishes laws that govern behavior, the ethical

frameworks contain sets of standards and rules governing the behavior of
individuals within groups or professions and morals concern fundamental
beliefs about right and wrong behavior. The law is a system of rules that a
state enforces to regulate behavior through penalties. Legal principles are
based on the rights of the citizens and the state expressed in the rules. An
action is permissible if it does not violate any of the written rules. Morality is a
body of principles that attempt to define what is good and bad conduct. Moral
principles can be based on culture, religion, experiences, and personal
values. An action is considered moral if it fits within those standards, though
everyone has different. Ethics and morals relate to “right” and “wrong”
conduct. While they are sometimes used interchangeably, they are different:
ethics refer to rules provided by an external source, e.g., codes of conduct in
workplaces or principles in religions. Morals refer to an individual's own
principles regarding right and wrong.
