Question

What is the similarities and differences between civics and ethics? Explain briefly

Answer 1

Both of them study human behavior and give laws for it. Politics lays down laws to organize individuals and groups in order to bring about mass improvements. On the other hand, ethics makes laws, aimed at the attainment of the ultimate good for the individual.While both Law and Ethics govern the behavior of individuals in the society, Law imposes a punishment or penalty for defaulters of the provision of the law, while Ethics does not impose any penalty or punishment for its breach as they are just religious, social, and moral beliefs and guiding principles.
