Law vs Ethics
法律和道德之间的差异非常有用，因为这两者都会对我们的日常生活产生重大影响。法律和道德是与管理科学相关的两个重要术语。法律是一组普遍的规则，通常在执行时被构建，接受。另一方面，伦理学定义了个人喜欢如何相互互动。伦理一词源自拉丁语“精神”的含义。“精神”一词与另一个拉丁词“ mores”含义'customs’给出实际含义。
What is Law?
Law, in simple terms, isa collection of rules and regulationsthat comes with penalties and punishments if it is not followed. It is important to note that the definition of law contains terms such asconsistent, universal, published, accepted and enforced。A law has to be consistent because there cannot be two contradicting requirements in law since people cannot obey both. It has to be universal because the requirements must be applicable to everyone, not to just one group of people. The requirements have to be in a written form and hence a law is published. The requirements have to be obeyed too and hence alaw is acceptedin sense. Since the requirements are compelled to be obeyed by the members of a society, the law becomes enforced.
Disobeying law isliable for punishment。That is how you enforce law. For example, stealing is prohibited. So, if someone steals something from someone else, that thief is punishable by law. Depending on what he stole this punishment can vary.
What are Ethics?
Ethics, on the other hand, area collection of social guidelines thatare based on moralprinciples and values。You can see, ethics only show what should be done. Therefore, unlike law, ethics cannot be compelled and hence theycannot be enforced。Theyneed not be universaltoo. This is mainly because ethics are created by a society. What is accepted in one society as good behavior may not be considered with such value in another. That does not mean they consider it wrong. For example, Hindus and Buddhists worship their elders as a way of showing respect. This is done in those societies, but in other societies may not be done. Therefore, ethics are not universal. Also, ethicsneed not be published。道德完全取决于个人和个人与社会其他成员的互动。
Shaking hands is an ethic.
Ethics have altogether a different set of characteristics. Ethics consist of learning what is right and what is wrong and doing the right thing. It is interesting to note that ethical decisions have various consequences, outcomes, alternatives and personal implications. Unlike a law, when someone does not adhere to principles of ethics, then he is不承担惩罚。For example, shaking hands is a valued ethical behavior especially in business world. So, if someone does not shake hand with another business associate, he is not going to be punished with a fine or jail sentence. Such punishments cannot be applied to such violations of ethical behavior. Simply, the other party will be hurt and that can have a harm upon social interactions between the two thereafter.
What is the difference between Law and Ethics?
• Law is a collection of rules and regulations whereas ethics are a collection of social guidelines based on moral principles and values.
• Law is a set of universal rules, but ethics need not be universal.
•违反法律处罚和punis负责hments, but not adhering to the principles of ethics is not liable for punishment.
• Law is published; it has to be in written form, whereas ethics need not be published.
• The law of the land should be obeyed, and hence, it is enforced, whereas the ethics cannot be enforced.
It is thus understood that both law and ethics are applicable to all walks of life and to all professions as well.
