The current demise of ethics

This is an important and most prescient read. We must incorporate an ethics of a shared sobriety to accomplish a minimum and reachable ideal. Otherwise, we will experience a socio-ecological Armageddon.

In my understanding, two factors have touched the heart of ethics: the process of globalization and the commercialization of society.

Globalization has revealed the different types of ethics, based on cultural differences. Western ethics, one of many, has been relativized. The great Oriental cultures and the cultures of the original Nations have shown that we can be ethical in very different forms.
