explain how an unjust act may be immoral but an immral act may not be unjust also how alawful act may be just?

Answer 1

Because Morality Justice and Law are simular but different ideals. A man who kills the man who brutally raped his wife is no more or less moral thant he rapist. He has committed an act of justice which is unlawful

Answer 2

It's referring to how makes the Laws and the people deciding whether the abide by that Law or not

IMMORAL ACT/UNJUST:

An Immoral Act that is Unjust would be Hitler's treatment of the Jews during the Holocaust. That's Immoral going against Spiritual Laws, and to be considered unjust because it's punishing people for "sins" based on their ethnicity that they had no control over.

IMMORAL ACT/JUST:

Immoral Act that some would consider to be just is like homocide of a serial killer who was terrorizing a city. Whomever killed or murdered the serial killer committed an immoral act of murdering a murderer.

The Superhero Batman, as a Vigilante, dealing out his own justice above the Law which may result in death (murder?) of criminals during combat and taking the Law into his own hands above that of Law Enforcement would be a good example.

LAWFUL ACT/JUST

Lawful Acts that are just is when the Legal System is managed by proper official that have an understanding of the needs of Society and implementing Laws that serve to cultivate the best traits of humankind while discouraging bad traits that lead to moral decay.

Incarcerating individuals who engage in theft and murder of innocent victims who are threatening and physically injuring upstanding members of the community would be Lawful and Just.

LAWFUL ACT/UNJUST

A Lawful Act that is unjust is when someone abides by the Laws that protect protect an individual who is morally corrupt and where the Law is used as the Shield to defend the guilty but, by the same token hurts the innocent.

In the movie "The Fugitive," you see Tommy Lee Jones as the U.S. Marshall chasing after Dr. Richard Kimble (Harrison Ford). The Dramatic Irony is where the audience knows that Harrison Ford didn't kill his wife.

RICHARD: I didn't kill my wife!
U.S. MARSHALL: I don't care

The reason why the U.S. Marshall didn't care is because his job was to bring Dr. Kimble in and back to jail. It didn't matter to the U.S. Marshall whether Kimble was innocent or not.

Because the audience knows that the Kimble is innocent, you see an example of how the Lawful Act is putting Kimble in jail and upholding the Law even though it should be where the Law protects the innocent.

Answer 3

Three terms -- immoral, illegal, unjust.

Morality is a personal and religious code of beliefs. It has nothing to do with the law. Justice is an abstract concept, seeking what's best for people. And while justice may enlist either morality or law its goals, those goals are sufficiently undefined to set any useful standard.

So, the question really is whether justice can be served by breaking the law. And I think the answer has to be no, in any situation where the rule of law is respected. Becuase if the rule of law is ignored, there cannot be any justice.

Answer 4

It is unjust and immoral for a prosecutor to lie and it is unjust and unlawful for the prosecutor to withhold evidence that can acquit or exonerate the accused but it is immoral to execute someone who was found guilty because that person may have been wrongly convicted (even though no one lied, but the evidence to acquit and exonerate was not found) yet it was done legally so it was not unjust under the laws of the land.

Answer 5
