The Challenge of Balancing Ethic and Morals; Can Laws Find a Middle Ground?
Having good ethics and morals in a society is quite important for maintaining peace and the law. This is one of the most underrated aspects of peaceful living because it guides our behaviour in a specific way, to align with the country's law. Ethnicity simply refers to the culture, language and history of the people, while morals means the behaviour, decision making and other concepts.
Personally, I believe when attempting to create law in a community, ethical behaviour and morals should be one of the major things that should be considered because this helps to define the culture of the people, and it will be quite complicated to bring a specific law from another people's ethnicity in relevance to another. When attempting to create law this is one of the things that need to be considered.
Ethical and Moral behaviours should be majorly considered when attempting to enforce a law in a country or society, because it helps to enlighten and teach them mainly on their background laws and the enforcement of peace. I also believe Laws should protect the inherent worth and dignity of all individuals, especially behaviours and human dignity.
One of the better factors of law is to balance individual rights for peace and unity, which should work concerning morals and ethnicity for peaceful living and unity. If we feel laws were also made from morals and ethnicity, then they should be considered to play a significant role in shaping laws and promoting social justice. I feel that, as far as it is for the positive interest of society, ethnicity and morals should be considered because they can also add value to justice and fairness.

I believe not all ethnicity shou8ld be considered in making law, some have a very brutal and ruthless traits, this are one of the things to be considered, for example, in my country before colonializing killing humans for sacrifice and killing twins was allowed but this laws came and considered it a murder and this really reduced the killing back then, till date i have never heard of of any miscrante killing again., which is why i said ethnicity sometimes should be considered but i believe before a law system can adapt itself with people in a community there must be ethnicity process to follow through because this is the history and foundations of there people its cant just be dropped or dumped like that, because i believe Laws that reflect ethics and morals are more likely to be seen as just and fair and also helps to regulate peace in the society or the country.
I understand little about the law, but I believe ethnicity and morals play a vital role in promoting social justice, peace and orderliness in the country. It helps people make choices of what they fit in with to protect and prevent harm in society. I feel moral and ethical values have a significant positive impact in a country to promote individuals' collective interests and human rights for balanced individual freedom and to protect justice and human dignity.

I can't agree less, morals and ethics are the backbone of the law, without them, the law is not different from a chaff.
I totally agree with you the most important thing is one's morals, without good morals laws would be useless

Laws does reflects the society's value and it also help promote justice, peace, dignity and unity.
