individual’s ethical decision-making is a topic that has sparked interest in researchers for years. One variable that research has revealed frequently as having a significant correlation with ethical decision-making processes is gender (Chung 2003‚ Loo 2003‚ Hume 2006‚ Bernardi 2008‚ Dalton 2011).

too intricate for any one theory to dominate the field. The values used to formulate a system of just law are often times based upon personal preference‚ unseen biases‚ or self-motivation. Law is such an intrinsic facet to so many different aspects of life that finding a theory of justice capable of covering the entirety of law is impossible. The fact is that‚ man has neither the impartialness nor the capability of creating such a complete theory. Without a complete theory for application we are forced
