Answer:

Unethical but totally legal.

Not warning someone who is headed for certain danger.

Ethical but illegal.

Engaging in essentially any activity that the government doesn’t want you to engage in.

Unethical and Illegal

Killing an endangered animal for its skin/feathers/fur/horns

Ethical and Legal

T-shirts made with recycled fabric and sold at $5 each.

Step-by-step explanation:

Unethical but Legal

Imagine yourself sitting on the beach watching sharks swimming just off shore. Now, imagine seeing a group of 10- to 14-year-old children running to go play and swim in the water. You have absolutely no legal duty to warn them or anyone else of the danger.

Ethical but Illegal

Some examples:

Driving faster than the posted speed limit

Owning a gun in Chicago

Buying and selling illegal substances

Failing to come to a full and complete stop at a stop sign

Buying a bunch of tickets to an event and then selling them for a higher price once the box-office is out of tickets — it’s called scalping.

Ethical and Legal

if the t-shirt is made from recycled fabric that means no plants were harmed to make new fabric, and if tis sold at $5 that means the t-shirt company is not robbing you of a fair price.
