    Sir

    Of the three main sources of rules that regulate the behaviour of businesses, the minimum level of
    acceptable behaviour is set by which?
    A Non-legal rules and regulations
    B Ethics
    C The law
    D Society

    the answer is C
    I choose D as my answer, help me understand how C can be the answer, I don’t agree because, when one breaks the law they are arrested or severely punished, and please write down the correct order of levels from list to more important.

    Q1: I’m not sure there is a universal order. I think the question writer would argue that society’s expectations impose rules and regulations on behaviour (so A and D are similar, to some respect, though regulations might be invented that society doesn’t much care about).

    Similarly you could argue that there isn’t much difference between society and ethics as we tend to adopt the ethics of the society we live in.

    Ethics/societal expectations/regulations tend to govern areas of behaviour that the law hasn’t go round to dealing with.

    Q2: A charity is an organisation set up to provide help and raise money for those in need.

    An NGO ia a non-profit organisation that operates independently of any government, typically one whose purpose is to address a social or political issue.

    Many NGOs are charities, but not all charities are NGOs.
