TAILIEUCHUNG - Social ethics and religious ethics - Similarity and difference

This struggle asks us to have the concrete and practical solutions. It is important for us to build new ethics in the process of social and economic development. We should combine social benefits with collective and individual benefits harmoniously. We should overcome and check the causes that make ethics to be downgraded. Of course, building of new ethics in a market economy is not easy and simple problem. We have the suitable means to develop values of the new ethics. When building ethics that corresponds with the recent development we should distinguish the similarity and difference between social ethics and religious ethics (through the study of two great religions in Vietnam: Buddhism and Catholicism) so that we can know and use reasonable elements and overcome limited aspects of religious ethics. At present, the Vietnamese Communist Party and State have recognized that religion is the need of a part of the people, in religion there are good values of ethics and culture. The matter of religious ethics is studied by scientists. Religious dogmas have dealt with the values of human ethics. These ethics are useful in building new ethics and dignity of the Vietnamese. The great values of religious ethics contribute to maintain social ethics, to perfect individual dignity and to lead human beings to the True, the Good and the Beautiful. However, religious ethics has also negative elements because it has led human beings to unreal happiness and lost self-control and creation of human beings. Hence, we should find the similarities in religious ethics and in social ethics to promote the good values of religion and to overcome its negative elements that influence dignity of the Vietnamese at present. | Social ethics and religious ethics - Similarity and difference
