The Israeli Embassy in India hailed them as “Indian superwomen.” Sabitha described the harrowing incident when they locked themselves in a safety room for more than four hours while attackers rained bullets on the door.
Ethical Values are shown:
Sabitha and Meera demonstrated remarkable ethical values, including courage, selflessness, and dedication to protecting the elderly couple they were caring for during the attack. They risked their lives to ensure the safety of others and showed unwavering commitment to their duty
Example 2: Copyright issues against AI

The publishers claim that Anthropic violated their rights by using lyrics from over 500 songs without permission.
Ethical Issues:
The lawsuit against Anthropic raises ethical concerns about the use of copyrighted song lyrics without permission to train AI, potentially infringing on intellectual property rights and creative content ownership.
