Yup. I'll put this here for those that need the explanation:

  • Morals
  • Ethics
  • Laws

These often overlap but are fundamentally different things.

For instance, a country can be morally bankrupt, value a strong code of ethics, and have laws that have nothing to do with either.

Also, you often need to compare entire cultures before you can see problems with equivocating any of the three.
