Where Law and Ethics Meet

Introduction

In many instances, the law and ethics do not agree as the law would permit some things that are morally wrong. The law also depends on evidence adduced and a judgment could acquit a criminal just because he or she managed to put up a winning defence.

Where Law and Ethics Meet

The son will need to first importantly set a specific time with the parents by requesting them for the best time they could discuss the matter without first making reference to the matter. When the time for the discussion of the matter come, the son should introduce the discussion by explaining how he discovered about the crime committed by the parents. The son should then give the parents a chance to explain to him what they think of the matter. The parents could react differently in this matter. They could either deny knowledge and/or commission of the crime or they could admit guilt and take responsibility. If they deny, then son should explain to the parents the consequences of their actions as well as the ones of denying the guilt and failing to take responsibility. If the parents accept guilt and take responsibility, then the son should ask the parents about their opinion regarding the way forward.  The parents could either decide not to let the company know about their crime or they could decide that they would let the company know. If they refuse to let the company know, then the son should explain to the parents the consequences of that action. The son should then try as much as possible to persuade the parents to let the company know how important it is to admit guilt and subsequent ask for pardon.

If the parents do not accept to talk to the company managers then the son should explain to them why it would be very important for them to admit guilt so as to save the company from collapse and loss of employment for many workers including the parents. The son should explain that the penalty against the parents could be lighter (possibly including full or partial pardon). If the parents do not agree with the son, then the son should inform that he would conscientiously report the matter to the managers of the company so as to save the parents, the company and the jobs.

Most certainly, at this point the parents could possibly concede and accept to report the matter to the company by themselves. But if the parents refuse to rescind their decision, then the son should inform them that the law would then take its full course. Ethics is about what ought to be done right so as to promote well being, resolve conflicts of interest as well as encourage social harmony. In some cases, the law could allow some things that are morally and ethically wrong, for instance, abortion. (Pojman, 2011).  The son should not allow himself to be part of what is morally and ethically wrong even if the law could vindicate the parents.

Conclusion It is very important to stick to ethics even if the law could vindicate someone. This is because some of the consequences of one’s actions could affect many innocent people
