Would you rather be immoral or unethical?

Answer 1

I will always continue to be whom I want to be, if others want to label that, that's up to them.

Answer 2

I would rather be immoral. Society sets morals, and when I look through history and around today I don't always agree with what society deems moral and right. (Slavery in the past, subjugation of women, homophobia, etc.)

Ethics, while often values you pick up from society, can also refer to a strictly personal code of conduct. Everyone needs some standards for themselves, even if some people think they are wrong.

I can deal with "anti-social" tendencies, so long as your stances are clear and you aren't harming people. I would much rather be termed immoral than unethical.

Answer 3

Morality relates to specific behaviors that violate religious and social taboos. Immorality refers to things people don't like to think about other people doing.

Ethics are general principles that control HOW we regard and treat other people. The integrity of the principle is more important than the specific acts.

It is immoral to lie. It is unethical to abuse people by deceiving them. It immoral to kill or steal. It is unethical to deprive starving people of available food because they can't pay for it.

I'd rather scandalize by unorthodox ethical action than maintain the legalistic appearance of virtue.

Answer 4

both are merely words... immoral people can do unethical things, and unethical people do immoral things... the actions of the person are what is the defining issue... i think a person is unethical is also immoral, and vice versa... hope this round about question makes sense

Answer 5

Though I feel they are pretty much the same thing, I would have to say that I would rather be unethical.

Answer 7

I am not really crazy about any of the candidates either, but someone has to be President. Soooo...you unfortunately do have to vote for the lesser of two evils. I have been doing that for years. If you don't vote, even for the lesser of the evils, you then have absolutely no right to complain about what the person does or does not do. Our system of government is not the greatest at times, but its ours and many, many people have died defending that government and our rights. So even if you don't really like who ends up on the ballot in the end, VOTE. By the way, I think Hillary got an eye opener on Thursday. She is not as popular or loved as she thought she was. It will be interesting to see what her strategy will be now.

Answer 8

I'm not sure rebel. Is that like choosing between Chaotic Evil and Lawful Evil? If so, then go with Lawful Evil/Unethical. You're less likely to pisz "everybody" off.

Answer 9

Chicken noodle soup with a side order of unethical!

Answer 10

Not sure, if you are immoral aren't you also unethical and vice versa?

Answer 11

Neither, but If I have to choose I would be unethical
