As many laws and policies as a century or two back, I also consider values and ethics lead. The cultural norms of the world's people have shifted profoundly everywhere. Talk about the tax for starters! The way they work. Taxation can be described as an incredibly moral practice, because it is about sharing and donating to the poor, but also as an unethical behavior, because an individual has his property dispossessed, a property acquired entirely in a legal way. Certainly, clear acts appear utterly horrific and unquestionably unethical, but as an outsider you will never know the whole story as a second hand audience.

The biblical story is therefore always clever: don't throw stones at anyone! Maybe you're less naive than him. It is not necessary to alienate society's values from the statute, the law represents certain beliefs, but becomes the primary point of reference for a judge in the moment that they become Statute. It is indeed a rather complex relationship between law and moral values. In end, we may conclude that, it sounds strange, but you must forgo your own cultural or moral preconceptions, and evaluate the statute rather than the moral, in order to provide fairness and be honest.

The idea that a society is mistaken in what is morally correct and that laws instantiate its beliefs does not imply that its rules are not pure, but that their moral views are false. While still focused on agreed yet erroneous moral principles, the rule can be unethical.
