Do you ever feel like sometimes those things that are legal seem to be just a little bit immoral? This cartoon depicts that problem. Often things become legal because such a large majority of people believe that it is unethical. It has been said that the legality is the ethics of society, whereas morals are the ethics of individuals. Killing, for example, is considered socially wrong, so it is law. This comic depicts the fine line between what is ethically right for you, and what you have to do legally. What would you do? Do you turn left or right? Or do your morals always line up with law?
Readers, take a bite, and tell me what you think.
I love Non Sequitur cartoons! This is really a great cartoon to go with what we are discussing in class.
