There are no universally shared principles.

I love my siblings and they are intelligent successful people but I wouldn’t want them as coworkers because they don’t have the necessary skills and experience to do what I do.

Slavery is legal in the US in the case of prison labor.

I’m sure someone exists who would employ minors given the opportunity.

That’s a bleak perspective. I’m not sure how we are having a conversation in the absence of universally shared principles. Perhaps we aren’t!

As I said: bleak.

Edit: > We accept some restrictions for the smooth running of society.

I don’t suppose we accept those restrictions universally…

There can be mutually shared principles but there are no universally shared principles.

Careful…
