When it comes to ethics, which is more reasonable law or your moral compass. That can be a debate worth thinking about.
Certain situations that we are put into depends mostly on our own perspective of things. With legality the definition is simply broken down to define as law which means controlled by government. Our behaviors are managed by the standards of right and wrong regardless of what we believe. Therefore an individual can get caught up in a situation where they have legal obligations to someone that goes against how they feel only because they think they are doing right by either law or a mutaul agreement. This can be a common conflict when it comes to either property or a domestic partnership/environment.
Morality is based off of conscience perceptions of right vs wrong. This means that we use our own judgement to determine the right or wrong of something to conduct personal consequences to control behavior. This concept can vary from circumstance to circustance. For example if you give a homeless person money, that means you loose your money, but morally if felt right in that moment because you did a good gesture. Whereas if someone stole money from you, you will be maad at first, but eventually forgive the individual becuse you felt like they needed the money more than you did. Because our moral compass tends to get tested from time to time we can often find ourselves questioning our better judgement.
So which is more ethical? It can be determined when measuring out the similarities and differences between the two. Some things that laws and morals have in common are social organiztion and cohension. Both can be agreeable due to consequences and reprocussions matching the circumstance. Where they differ is in category. The concept of legality applies to everyone whereas morality is different from person to person. So then you could problably question your ethics based on a situation was handled vs how it handled others socially. Either way it remains a debate.
