Part of this discussion is ethical. It focuses on moral values, and questions of moral goodness. Efforts to establish a global ethic have received widespread international attention in recent years. Is ethics culturally relative or do moral values in globalised world having universal validity? The aim of this essay is to arrive at answer to this question. The writer argue that there are some kind of ethical values that can be considered as common ground for a globalised world to avoid the shortage of moral standard in global village.
