6. What impact does the legal system have on American culture or cultural groups in America?
The legal system has a very big impact on the American culture because people think that the legal system takes sides depending on what backround you are so therefore some people dislike the legal system.
1.well all of these can be bias to each person what one perceives as ethical and unethical can be horribly different for instance the murderer of J.F.K. was shot before he was even brought to trial shot in the stomack and he died the shooter thought himself in the right a hero what he perceived as justice was different from the majority of other does that make his view of justice wrong I for one belive that the way we judge ethics an right wrong is what the majority of people believe or agree with so does that mean we all should conform to anothers form of justice? Ethics and justice can be as personal as religion what one sees as okay may offend another so just based on your surrounding justice is different.
2. history has taught us that the people hold a large amount of sway in the form of justice its point of view changes with the times and if the majority of people believe in a justice or point of view then the government conforms as it should people hold the power people should not be afraid of their government governments should be afraid of their people.
3. What values influence the ethical decisions individuals make in everyday life? How are they formed? How do they change? The values that influence the ethical decisions inviduals make every day are the way they were raised, what they learned from the adults in their lives, and, at times, their relgion. The way these values are formed is from when the child is young, most children learn by example. The examples that the adults and people they look up to set are instilled into the kids and it becomes somehting that they remember and follow most of their lives. These values can chnage as the child gets older, if the child was given bad examples as children then they may grow up relaize these were wrong and try to change. If religion is the source of their values then sometimes as the child grows their religion could become less important in their lives and then their values would change.
