Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic also revealed lacks of moralities of the citizens in some countries. As mentioned before, it can discover the answer to sustain “reward or punishment”. Further, the author wonders how to realize the formation of ethics and morality in each level of individual and the society, and how to incite “self-sacrifice” and altruism, and how not to induce each individual to rife with selfishness. Regarding above concerns, many societies and cultures have articulated the provisions that facilitate individual adaptation and encourage the formation of common values throughout society through some form of religious values and other constraints. Especially, the ancient Chinese social morality has rich useful implications even in the modern digital society. China is traditionally thought of as a tyrannical political system, but it is underpinned by a specific ethical foundation linked from individual morality to the morality of society as a whole. This chapter argues that such moral ethics is equally essential for the modern citizen living in a decentralized and pervasive digital network.
