People need courage, justice, temperance and rationality in order to understand social ethics. There are lots of systems that requires social ethics such as media, education, marketing etc. One of the big ethic systems of the world is the virtual life which means the digital world. An easier word would be the Internet. The Internet has different aspects, positive and negative and we must learn to be aware of the negative side because who knows what is watching you? Who knows what they are going to do to **you** ? We all do........ if we are all aware of the dangers online.
