Abstract
This article explores the integration of identity and ethics as a foundational approach to achieving sustainability in modern society. It introduces the "Integrated Ethical Identity Model" (IEIM), a conceptual framework designed to address the complexities and challenges of the contemporary world. By combining insights from moral philosophy, religion, and science, the IEIM offers a comprehensive and adaptive ethical framework suitable for dynamic social contexts. The model is structured around three key dimensions: personal identity, which emphasizes self-awareness and the ability to maintain individuality amidst change; collective identity, which focuses on fostering mutual understanding, cultural diversity, and global-local integration; and ethical identity, which prioritizes collaborative ethics to balance personal and collective benefits. The IEIM employs interdisciplinary synthesis to connect diverse fields, incorporating ethical philosophies such as Kantian deontology and utilitarianism, spiritual teachings from Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam, and scientific principles including psychology and technological ethics. Its application spans education, where integrated curricula are designed to prepare future generations; business, through responsible practices and sustainable innovation; society, by encouraging collaboration across diverse identities; and public policy, with inclusive and balanced frameworks. This article highlights the importance of creating mechanisms to support knowledge integration, fostering multi-level participation, and developing measurable indicators for evaluating progress. The IEIM serves as a transformative model, enabling societies to adapt to rapid changes while fostering sustainability and harmony at both local and global levels.
