Probable Scenarios of Future Ethics

Abstract

Life in today's global village has two ontological and epistemological aspects. One problem of the globalized world related to these two aspects, which will be discussed in this article first is the fact that the civilization of the globalized world has, in some ways, been disconnected from its culture, since civilization moves towards <em>collectivism</em> whereas culture moves towards <em>individualism</em>; this will be the most problematic issue in the realm of ethics, the major subset of culture. Afterwards, using the scenario planning method, four possible scenarios of ethics in future culture will be put forward, and the content of these scenarios will be discussed.
