The study found that the globalization era has progressed more in science and technology. It is an era of information, an era of a borderless world. The world of information has more influence on human thoughts, minds, and behaviors. It is influenced by foreign cultures and values, which play a role in and dominate the obsession with foreign cultures and values. It is not interested in the teachings of Thai religion and culture. Ethics is a guideline for behavior that relies on moral principles. It is a reason for people in society to distinguish right and wrong, not to harm each other for the benefit of themselves and others, and to live together peacefully and happily. It aims to develop people in society into complete human beings in body, mind, intellect, knowledge, and morality. With ethics in life, people can live with others peacefully, which will benefit society and the country in the future.
