Laws and Ethics Right, Wrong or Just Illegal? Snapshot

Laws and Ethics: Right, Wrong or Just Illegal?

Learners explore how societies create rules and laws, how ideas about fairness and justice influence decision-making, and why people sometimes disagree about what is right, wrong, or acceptable. Through investigations into legal issues, ethical dilemmas, rights and responsibilities, and examples of legal change, learners develop an understanding of how laws and values shape communities and everyday life.
