For a good (fictitious but convincing) example, see Toby Howard in the film https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell_or_High_Water_(film) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell_or_High_Water_(film) Robbing a bank is universally illegal, but it is not regarded as unethical in general.
- foldr 8y ago>Robbing a bank is universally illegal, but it is not regarded as unethical in general Erm, no, it is regarded as unethical by almost everyone except bank robbers.
- effie 8y agoHave you heard of the Robin Hood legend? It says the man was robbing the rich, and was very popular with the populace. I find it hard to believe that his robbing activity was regarded as 'unethical' by 'almost everyone'. Or a recent example, the sci-hub and libgen projects. They are robbing publisher shareholders of their profits. Do you think those projects are regarded as unethical by 'almost everyone'?
- sonnyblarney 8y ago"but it is not regarded as unethical in general." Yes it is. Maybe you live in an interesting developing nation? Robbing banks, stores, anyone - is considered basically immoral in all of civilization, thankfully. Yes - not all bank robbers are psychopaths - probably not the majority. But prisons are fully of people bending reality to justify their crimes.
- effie 8y agoRobbing average Joe is universally considered wrong. Robbing bankers, insurance companies or other powerful subjects, I don't think so. It depends on the circumstances - for a good example, see the movie, that is, if you like such a mental challenge.
- sonnyblarney 8y agoRobbing banks, bankers, insurance companies and other 'powerful people or companies' is wrong, basically universally. There is no ned to see any film about this.
