Morality in the 21st Century

The 21st century brings a wave of new technologies and globalization. More people in more places have greater rights, freedoms, literacy, education, and prosperity, than ever before. In our Western society, secularization has replaced religious conscience with rationality and abstract thinking. How does this affect our sense of morality? Does it change our moral behavior?

Michael Shermer
