Ethics are the principles of right or good conduct. Which teaches people what is acceptable and not acceptable in society. According to Han Fei zi a Chinese philosopher who founded Legalism human nature was incorrigibly evil and that strict rules were needed to regulate human conduct. He developed a political philosophy that emphasized strict laws and harsh punishments in the control of every aspect of human society. All personal freedom was subordinated to their objective of creating a strong state under a ruler of unlimited authority. Emperor Shi Huang di utilized Legalism, therefore unifying Chinese society.
He created unified China by conquering 36 warring states and uniting them into one. To promote unity he standardized weights and measures, replaced the old diverse Zhou coins with Qin coins, and uniformed Chinese writing.

R. E program did not work for them. The school also has The John Jay A-Z Handbook, which is an ethical code. An ethical code is a collection of rules concerning good or right conduct. The schools have also established strict rules and harsh punishments. Such as the Substance Abuse Policy if a student is caught with drugs he will be suspended for 5 days and a police report is made for the possession of drugs.
