This paper addresses ethics critically and rationally, aiming to integrate it into futuristic studies and educational curricula while initiating a new ethical framework. The author identifies a limitation in ethical development, proposing solutions centered on creating institutions for ethical education to guide human behavior toward building desirable futures. A new ethical system is suggested, based on the principle of ethical commitment, which relies on rational and critical argumentation to move beyond the current ethical state and establish futuristic alternatives. The article emphasizes the importance of subjecting scientific research to ethical accountability and encourages building a future vision guided by proper ethical methods. It draws on consequentialist theory, which links good actions to favorable outcomes, to modify behavior and guide ethical decision-making. Additionally, the author explores the origins of values, distinguishing between biological origins -rooted in an individual’s mental and physical makeup- and social origins, arising from collective living and interaction. This study also examines how individuals acquire values through exploring ethical concepts, fostering open and collaborative communication, and ensuring ethical accountability in research. The author advocates rebuilding a fading value system by establishing strategies for information sharing grounded in rational analysis. The article promotes ethical discourse that respects cultural differences and adheres to universal standards of respect. In conclusion, the author urges critical evaluation of the current value system and calls for efforts to overcome the decline of moral philosophy, laying the groundwork for collective ethical thought and sustainable strategies for future development.
