MODERATORS
Legality is a code of behavior shared by society at large.
Ethicality is a code of behavior voluntarily adopted by disparate individuals as a condition of inclusion in a formally defined community.
Morality is an individually defined code of behavior. However, morality is often shared by people of similar cultural background: that common background tends to lead them to adopt the same moral code.
