Question

Discuss the relationship between law and ethics and also highlighting the role of the govt. Of india in enforcing ethical behavior.

Answer 1

There are two ways in which ethical behavior of a person can be enforced i.e .either internally or externally.

The role of a government is significantly a external factor with laws,rules and regulations and internalizing such ethical behavior is only to a limited extent.

Ethical behavior of a person is sum of his environment,upbringing, and attitude developed with the circumstances one encountered in his/her life.

Social values and education play a vital role in a person's ethical behavior.The duty of a government is to inculcate such values into the ecosystem through value based education irrespective of culture and social norms of society that need to be reached to everyone.
