Inclusive and integrative ethics framework/ Teaching non-western ethics

In the context of emerging technologies, integrating Eastern ethical perspectives into the curriculum has proven effective in helping students address complex ethical issues. These perspectives offer a valuable alternative to Western approaches focused on duties and consequences. The curriculum includes Eastern-inspired questionnaires and emphasizes ethics as a practical, not abstract, discipline. This comparative analysis demonstrates that ethics is not akin to a mathematical formula with a singular correct answer but is a discipline characterized by its contextual fluidity and cultural relativity. Despite challenges in changing perceptions and the limited time allocated to ethics in scientific disciplines, there is a push for a more integrated approach to ethics education, highlighting its importance from the start of technological development rather than as an afterthought.
