The essay is on business ethics. Both government and company have formulated policies to implement and maintain ethical behavior. The questions is whether these policies work and are kept. Many observers see a disassociation between the company requirements and actual company behavior. Others however perceive the intransigence and strictness of laws such as the SOX to be sufficient to keep the company in control.

HLA Hart and Modern Legal Positivism H.L.A. Hart is a famous legal thinker who examined Positivism and Utilitarianism. Hart is noted for thoughts that modernized the thinking of positivists and specifically utilitarians. The key concept of "Positivism and the Separation of Law and Morals" is that sometimes law intersects with morality. For example, until people become like giant land crabs with shells that cannot be penetrated and who can get their food from the air and not be harmed by others, there must be laws against violence and setting basic property rights. Hart believes that those laws "intersect" with morality and every legal system has laws like that. Hart believes that the old positivists, who saw law that is completely separate from law that ought to be, were mistaken. Hart also specifically examined the Utilitarianism of Austin and Bentham. Austin and Bentham were both Utilitarians. They believed in no connection between the law that is and the law that ought to be and that it is only a coincidence if legal rights and moral rights are connected. At the same time: Austin believed that if a human law conflicts with divine law, then the human law is not really a law and does not need to be obeyed; Bentham believed the same thing but did not use God or the divine; he used utilitarian principles instead. Because they were Utilitarians, Austin and Bentham believed in a social philosophy of liberalism in law and government, reform, and control of power because even reformers might corrupt the law. Hart admired the simplicity of Austin and Bentham but disagreed with the severe way they separated the law that is from the law that ought to be. Hart says that sometimes there is an intersection between laws and morals. Hart also criticizes their belief that law is essentially a command from a sovereign that is habitually obeyed because they can command obedience but do not need to obey. Hart says that the law does not work that way: legislators do not hold office long enough to be habitually obeyed sovereigns; the laws passed by the legislature must still obey fundamental rules.

Ethical egoism proposes that every person necessarily, naturally and morally acts out of self-interest. Thus, it is the very basis of all morality to do so. But most thinkers reject this theory because it conflicts with the tenets of an organized society. Gun ownership by law enforcers and select individuals is based on this theory. Everyone has the fundamental right to self-protection by often heavily armed attackers in this very perilous world and in these perilous times.
