is an ethical issue and two perspectives of something the same thing?

Answer 1

I think in alot of cases it is......a public defender represents a person suspected of a crime and gets his client off on a technicality but knows that the person committed the crime. He would have had the issue of keeping his clients secret but at the same time he helped set someone free that he probable wouldn't want on the street????

Answer 2

In my opinion, I would say no. I confess I have no credentials to back it up, but to me, anything ethical pertains to ethics, that is, some kind of (semi-)codified rules regarding appropriate behavior in a certain set of circumstances or walk of life.
Two perspectives imply that something is a matter of opinion, anything not factual. An ethical issue must involve morals, principles, or what is or isn't right. Although ethical issues are often up for debate, frequently inviting two or more perspectives, they are deeper than simply a contentious subject.
Example of an ethical issue: Does the government have the right to use wire-tapping to find terrorists in America?
Example of two perspectives: Should we have pizza or hamburgers for lunch, since John wants hamburgers and Kelly wants pizza?

Hope this helps.

no. an ethical issue is just that. being able to see both sides of an arguement or having two perspectives on an issue is a logical way to reach a conclusion.
