In a previous discussion I put a question about ethics and legality in the practice of project management.
among other interesting statements it was discussed about the relationship between ethic and legality.
what do you think about it? Saving Changes...
The key difference between legality and ethics if about the nature of practice. Legal - You have to do it. and Ethical is voluntarily. You have to sign a contract is legal but you would not help your "friend" in getting the contract is ethical.

Check out the trolly problem, it's my favourite distinction between "ethical" and "legal".
What we consider to be ethical is often contradictory.

thanks Maen,
from your comment I understand you consider legality and ethical as quite the same concept, Please, let me know if I'm wrong. in this case, if you consider that there is a little difference, may you explain it?
many thanks

Thanks.my point is that legality and ethics are controlled either by law or by internal ego.

Definitely Ego.
Ethics is also defined by the individual's surroundings. What may be ethical to me might seem absurd to you.
It is not illegal for me not to help the old lady who falls down in the middle of the street. How many of you feel an ethical obligation to. And how many will just stare and point?
The strongest example I can think of is ethics does not require laws necessarily, it's a "common sense" reaction. This is utopian but gets to the point.

what do you think about my interpretation below:
legality is based on external laws, ethic is based on internal laws or, in other words, on a moral code? Saving Changes...
