Law..Ethics..Technology







        Law is a system of rules a society sets to maintain order and protect harm to persons and property. They are made by governments in order to protect its citizens.The judiciary, legislature, and public officials are the three main bodies in a government that are assigned to the task of the creation of laws.

Laws have to be approved and written by these three branches of government before they are implemented and enforced by the police and the military, with the help of the legal system consisting of lawyers and other government servants.

 


        Ethics is the study of ideal human character, action and ends. It can also be defined as a set of rules formulated by a country or a company or some institutions. It is mainly based on moral values. Ethics is not that it is set for any particular society, but it is mainly based on virtues, rights, and obligations. 



       Technology is a very broad term which refers both to artifacts created by humans, such as machines, and the methods used to create those artifacts. More broadly, technology can be used to refer to a way of doing something or a means of organization: for instance, democracy might be considered a social technology.  It is also used to describe the extent to which a society can manipulate its environment.
