Global Ethics Shifts explores the evolving landscape of ethical values across the world, shaped by cultural norms, political ideologies, and economic systems. The book addresses the crucial question of why ethical values diverge across cultures, which is vital for effective international relations and cross-cultural communication. It posits that ethical values are not static but constantly evolving in response to a complex web of influences, such as globalization, and understanding these shifts is key to navigating our interconnected world.
The book's structure unfolds systematically, beginning with core concepts like cultural relativism and moral universalism, and then delves into specific domains such as political ethics, economic ethics, and social ethics. These areas are examined through case studies from various countries, providing empirical evidence for the book's arguments about ethical shifts. This approach integrates cultural, political, and economic factors into a unified framework, offering a valuable holistic perspective for understanding ethical change.
