But one thing they have in common is that they both want people to do good, and do the right thing. Confucianism believes that human nature is naturally good, while legalism believes that it isn’t. Governments are pretty much the basis to every society. Again we see the conflicting beliefs of these two teachings. Legalists believe that people have to conform, or adapt, to the law.
The moral obligations for individuals within this profession should be within the guidelines of the legal requirements. In essence, the ethical considerations are to help the staff meet a particular standard and allow the professionals to be efficient, fair and competent in their field.

In our textbook, relativism is the idea that one’s beliefs and values are understood in the terms of one’s society, culture, or even one’s own individual values (Mosser, 2010). In one’s culture, sex slavery might be considered to be normal; however in our culture sex slavery is banned. In our country polygamy is highly frowned upon, while in another culture it is normal to be married to one or more husband or wife. This can lead to relativism because it requires people to understand other’s beliefs are different. Sometimes it depends on their society and how they were raised in their culture that impacts their lives.

Many people debate over whether or not marijuana should be legalized. They argue about the moral issues or moral conflicts that would arise with the legalization of it. Although there is a lot of we could say for each side, if we put aside our personal feelings and see it from the economics point of view, we would realize that legalizing marijuana would be the right thing to do (especially with the recession we are in).

Disputes that arise between private parties, businesses, government officials, and the like are brought to court in order to ensure that they are heard, ideally, in a neutral forum (Siegel, Schmalleger, and Worrall, (2011). To understand the whole court process there are three distinct elements that have to be consider to become a court, it must have proper legal authority and have all of the guild lines within the constitution.

According to Descartes, in order to believe in claim, put by religion, politics, science and even philosophy, to be the truth, one must put such claims under strong reasoned doubt.

Therefore the law did not resolve conflicting interests but imposed the interests of one group over another. While this can still happen today it seems that the law does try hard to make sure everyone is satisfied and everyone’s interests are accounted for. Rudolf von Jhering said that the law is the main way of ordering society, his views was that the rights of the majority should take precedence over the individual.
