In a world facing climate collapse, AI disruption, and global migration, relying solely on traditional Western ethical frameworks like Utilitarianism or Deontology might be like using a paper map in a GPS world.
Western ethics often prioritize the individual—maximizing personal gain or following rigid rules. But what happens when those rules don’t account for collective well-being, ancestral wisdom, or cultural nuance?
Eastern and Indigenous ethical traditions offer something different: communal responsibility, relational accountability, and intergenerational thinking. These frameworks don’t just ask, “Is this right for me?”—they ask, “Is this right for us?”
Ignoring these perspectives risks making decisions in a vacuum—detached from the very communities and ecosystems they affect.
