Answer to Question 1

Ethics refers to the acceptable ways individuals interact with one another and for the good of society. Ethics defines the nature of duties that people owe themselves and one another. One duty is to not intrude on a person's privacy. Laws embody ethical principles, but acts that are considered unethical may not be illegal. Conversely, the law is not simply the coding of ethical norms, nor are all ethical codes incorporated into public law. A common agreement in a society as to what is right and wrong determines ethics, but they are not subject to legal sanctions except when they overlap with activities that also are illegal.
