Business Law Discussion week 1

While related, law and ethics are not the same. The law establishes what individuals must do, while ethics describes what individuals should do. What this means is that some things viewed as immoral may in fact not be illegal, and some illegal activities may not necessarily be immoral.

For this discussion, pick one of the topics below and explain whether you think it’s immoral, and then whether you think it should be illegal. Make sure to fully explain and support your answer.

• Gambling with friends at work.
• Using marijuana at a party.
• Obtaining an abortion.
• Marketing sugary drinks to children.
