question 19
many people make the mistake of assuming that legal means ethical.
true
false

Explanation:

Analyze the relationship between law and ethics

The law establishes minimum standards of conduct required by society, whereas ethics represents broader moral principles of right and wrong. An action can be legal but unethical (e.g., lying to a friend), or ethical but illegal (e.g., civil disobedience against an unjust law).

Evaluate the statement

The statement asserts that "Many people make the mistake of assuming that legal means ethical." Because legality and ethicality are distinct concepts, equating them is indeed a common conceptual error. Therefore, the statement is true.

Answer:

• True (Correct answer)
• False
