The global society is being turned into a digital society.
Digitalization makes people confront with new ethical problem s for example, information inequality, cyber-addiction, cyber-violations, et al. The old moral education paradigm such as a moral thinking centered education and a virtue centered education is not available for the ethical problems in the digital society.
So, we need to constitute a new moral education paradigm, and the new paradigm had better to keep features of digitalization such as a bit based equality, a network based relationship, procedural constitution, trans corporality.
The core of the ethical problem s in the digital society is that person is not able to make a appropriate relationship of a real self in real world with a virtual self in cyber space.
The real self and the virtual self are simultaneously same one and difference two. A relation of the two selves is beyond a formal logic and a linear thinking.
A person who rejects the virtual self, who discerns the difference of the two selves have a inclination to make a violation in the cyber space. A person who over-estimates the virtual self, who discerns the sameness of the two selves have a inclination to be fallen into a cyber addiction.
Training of netiquette is not enough to come up with ethical problems in the digital society. Cognition of appropriate relation of two selves had better to be a core of moral education in digital society. Teacher must make student as the real self get a ability to constitute a good relation with a his/her virtual self.
