On The Ethical Problem In Network Virtual Society

Owing to the development of network technology and network construction, a new social organizational form梀irtual Society is appearing before our eyes .The nature of virtual society is virtuality, characterized by digitization and semioticization. The appearing of virtual society poses a great challenge to the morality and ethics of the real society. The openness and compatibility of virtual society give rise to a series of ethical problems, which are expounded in chapter II of the paper. The rise of these problems is related not only to the imperfection of network technology and its operation, but also to the human alienation on the network, at the same time it has theoretical reasons inside network ethics, and social reasons outside the network. For example, there exists the human mistaken concept of network space, and the fragility of network law authority. To overcome and control the ethical problems in virtual society requires us to think and explain rationally first so as to recognize clearly the nature of the problems. Then through direct control on the technological level and the outside-policing control of the compulsory implementation of law authority supplemented by the self-policing control of ethical care so as to fulfil the full development of human nature, the ethical problems of network virtual society can finally be brought under control.
