The case study that I have chosen for this particular paper comes under the section ‘Thinking Critically 1.2’ titled ‘The Man Who Shocked the World’.

Introduction There is a relationship between ethics and law. However, these two overlap in some cases where what is legal is unethical and whatever is deemed ethical is also illegal. They might not overlap in other situations but the contexts in which they are applied might rule out their legality or ethicality (Banks 2001). The complication in the dichotomy of human behavior in light of laws and ethics is due to legislations that contravene ethics and the inability for enforcers to have solutions
Ethical Theory Introduction The word ‘ethics’ derives from the Greek word ethos i.e. a custom, habit or disposition. Ethics offer a system of moral principles that affect how people make decisions and live their lives. The origin of ethics may be based in religions, philosophies and/or cultures.

Beauvoir and Immanuel Kant both were extremely influential philosophers of their time, but have slightly differing ideas on how ethics should be handled. Simone de Beauvoir handles the question of ethics and human existence in her novel The Ethics of Ambiguity using her existentialist philosophy. In Immanuel Kant’s “Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals” he addresses ethics and human existence using his deontological philosophy. Both Beauvoir and Kant agree that every human should be treated as an

This question leads us to trace back to the intrinsic
