Ethical issues
Because line-cutters violate the basic procedures and unwritten rules for line forma- tion and order, they have committed an ethical breach. Ethics consists of standards and norms for behavior that are beyond laws and legal rights. We don’t put line-cutters in jail, but we do refer to them as unethical. There are other examples of unethical behavior that carry no legal penalty. If a married person commits adultery, no one has committed a crime, but the adulterer has broken a trust with his or her spouse. We do not put adul- terers in jail, but we do label their conduct with adjectives such as unfaithful and even use a lay term to describe adultery: cheating.
