Implementing Global Ethics in Local Context

Global ethics is an ethical concept declared by the Parliament Declaration of the World’s Religions in Chicago in 1993. This concept originally came from the values of all religions. Studying the implementation of global ethics within a local context is intriguing, especially considering that ethical values need to be clearly understood and effectively practiced at the local level. This is particularly important because the specific terms and concepts outlined in the Declaration of the Parliament of the World’s Religions may be unfamiliar in those local settings. By utilizing the qualitative method, the socio-theological perspective, and the phenomenological approach to the variety of ethnoscience, this study revealed that implementing global ethical values is achievable despite the implementation being strenuous because of some local contextual obstacles. Second, stakeholders involved in the implementation were potentially religious leaders, educational practitioners, community leaders, governmental bodies, politicians, and family members. Third, low levels of education among society members and exclusivity in society and religion are significant barriers to the implementation process of global ethics in the Central Java context
