Q1. “can you describe an action that is legal but ethically wrong?”

 A: there are alot of  person ’s action that are considered legal but ethically wrong .An example of these  are the traditions, practices cultures from our nation  and other countries  like the “Hara-kiri” of Japan ,the ritual of sucide. This tradition of Japanese is legal to them but commiting a suicide is   morally wrong, thus unethical.

Euthanasia is another action that is legal but ethically wrong. Euthanasia is a practice of ending a life of a person in a painless manner who is suffering from terminal painful disease or in a vegetative stated. Terminating the life of the patient is taken either by the doctor or the relatives of the patient is considered legal but it is ethical since this is equivalent to killing a person. Killing a person is an immoral act.

Q2. is every ethical action legal?

 A: Not all ethical actions are legal. A concrete example for this is adopting a child without undergoing the legal process or court proceedings. A mother who can not afford to support her child to have a decent life consented to have her child adopted by foster parents who are willing to look after the child and considered as their own. This act is considered ethical since the foster parents are saving the child from the deprivation of the basic needs in life. However, this is illegal since this is not rightful process of child adoption under the law. 

Q3.Is law not ethics the only guide that only bus. managers need to consider?

A: Both Law and ethics are the guides needed by business managers because the absences of one of them will lead to destruction of a business. For  example  you practice ethics but not following the law, The goverment  may close your business for not following there terms and conditions. In another way around where you practice  law but not ethics, In this situation your business integrity  and reputation  is at risked because your customer may not trust you anymore because your doing immoral things.
