Does law and culture affects ethics?
To conceptualize the argument suggested would be to consider ethics a boiling pot of water. As the ethics 'boil over', it could be said that laws/regulation was put into action/effect.
example: Ethics on public safety that are questioned/violated will find a boiling over in regulation. 9/11 - PATRIOT Act being a prominent example.
Laws effect culture. The inability to 'do' illegial acts deters the adoption of such in a culture.
Our 'tolerance' for ethics is established by our assessment/culture.
Culture -> Ethics -> Law - > Culture.
