The determination of what is right rather than what is wrong has been generally codified in the form of law, although not all situations have been, and can be, covered by any such codification. Laws are rationalized for the welfare of society; thus, any behavior considered ethical should also be legal in a just and fair society. This does not mean, however, that simply because an action is not illegal it is necessarily ethical. In other words, just living up to the ‘letter of the law’ is not sufficient to guarantee that one’s actions can be or should be considered ethical
