Title: Reflection on Globalization, Pluralism, and Ethical Challenges in Different

Generations

In studying the new challenges in ethics brought about by globalization and

pluralism .

In Lesson 1, I found myself interested by the complexity of these concepts. The

idea of free market competition, consequentialist and deontological
standpoints, and the human environment system all point to the intricate
dynamics of our global society.

The free market competition, for instance, made me reflect on how it has both
fueled innovation and widened the gap between the rich and the poor. From a
consequentialist standpoint, the overall economic growth might be seen as a
positive outcome. However, from a deontological standpoint, the inequality it
can create raises ethical concerns.

The exploration of pluralism, particularly moral pluralism, moral absolutism,

and moral relativism, opened my eyes to the diversity of moral perspectives. I
thought on how our individual moral compasses are shaped by various factors
and how these differences can lead to conflicts but also enrich our
understanding of ethics.

In Lesson 2, the comparison between millennials and baby boomers, and their
ways of coping with ethical challenges, was particularly enlightening. It made
me reflect on how generational shifts influence our ethical perspectives and
responses. The role of religion in ethics was another thought-provoking topic.
The question of whether ethics is possible without God was challenging, but
Sim Kwang Yang's affirmation of this possibility resonated with me,
emphasizing the importance of humanist values.

these lessons have increased my understanding of the evolving nature of

ethics in our global and diverse society. They have challenged me to reflect on
my own ethical standpoints and how they interact with those of others around
me.
