Research on Network Ethic and Cultural Security Issues of Network Space

Abstract

Along with the development in internet era, Network ethic and the corresponding cultural security issues of network space are increasingly concerned and paid close attention by the public. The social foundation of network ethic is still the social ethical standard mutually complied with by people, which possess the characteristics of autonomy, openness and diversification. The major causes of the decline of moral ethic include the propelling of economic benefits, insufficient network supervision and management, as well as the lack of self-discipline of network ethic. In order to build network ethic, it is necessary to give scope to the guidance of positive network consensus, supplement and complete network legislation and regulations, strengthen the education of network ethic and integrity, promote the self-discipline of network ethic and guarantee the cultural security of network space. Nowadays, the wave of informatization and network, which takes information technological revolution as the core, is extensively and profoundly affecting people’s social lives and survival mode. The fluidity and virtuality of network and information not only form the social organization and cultural environment of a larger spatial and temporal scale, and furtherly break the “center-periphery†operation mechanism and social structure of pre-industrial society and even the industrial society, but also place in its background and mechanism the politics and economy and even the moral culture based on it within specific social order and structure. “The fluxion of network and information is triggering the cultural revolution, thus separate the political and living concept of people from the fundamental frame established in recent period†[1]. Correspondingly, series of problems of network ethic are increasingly prominent, behaviors of network decline are everywhere, and the cultural security of the network space is confronted with unprecedented challenges. Without the support of ethic and integrity, it is difficult for the network space to develop to a healthy and orderly virtual society. Therefore, the research and discussion on the issues of network ethic and the construction of network ethical criterion are currently crucial contents of maintaining the cultural security of network space.
