RE: Ethics VS Aesthetics - How to stop arguing & unite people to create a free society
Definitely, ethics and aesthetics are different terms. Matters become complicated when people mix these things. You excellently made clear what is legal and what is ethical.
Obviously, everything legal cannot be said ethical. For an example child marriage is still allowed in some parts of the world, which is legal in those parts but it cannot be said ethical as child marriage is very bad for the health of the children.
I think without ethical behavior nothing can make this world a happy place for us, not matter how strong our legal system is. Legal system reduces our freedom while ethical behavior makes us free.
Thanks.
Spot on! Though, there are some who posit that one's ethics are a derivation of the existing laws.
you had child marriage backwards. though child marriage may be illegal or legal it is ethical as it does not harm anyone or violate their property
Are you saying child (any age restriction here?) doesn't harm anyone? Just clarifying before I comment.....
I am saying 2 children getting married voluntarily would not harm anyone, but if two parents forced those to kids to get married that would be unethical.
again. Any age restriction? And as long as we are at it, are there any other restrictions on what parents might coerce children into? When kids are involved, libertarianism does create some dilemmas. GO CLEAN YOUR ROOM, BOY!!!!
no you should not force a child to marry, if that child is voluntarily getting married there is nothing wrong with that. I agree that the child would need parental consent to marry.
