How is the Golden Rule Possible in Ethical Dilemma
The contemporary world is divided into different groups based on factors such as kinship,nationality,and race,leading individuals to prioritize their interests and moral image within these groups,often adhering to limited ethical standards.However,the universal moral principle of the Golden Rule emphasizes the moral power of transcending these boundaries.Starting with the requirement of consistency in the Golden Rule,this study examines empirical evidence from moral psychology and explores potential approaches to actualize the Golden Rule in today's context.The study reveals that limited cognitive resources and the influence of emotional intuition pose threats to people's moral judgments and behaviors,challenging the constraints of self-control and rational reasoning.Moral education aimed at overcoming self-centeredness and expanding moral identity beyond social group boundaries can empower individuals to construct a broader circle of moral concern and advance the realization of a just and equal human community.
