3.      Ethics in an answer to increasing secularisation:

·         Influence of religion, custom and tradition going down which has resulted into a state of anonymity or a blank condition. Now we don’t follow religion, we do not know what to follow.

4.      Ethics is an answer to increasing disorganisation:

·         Earlier argument, people were in influence of tradition, society and religious norms.

·          Now the influence of tradition, society, religion is declining, which resulted into disorganisation.

·         Ethics will help develop reasonable viewpoints, irrespective of the facts that there will be different and differing viewpoints.

·          Even though different, we will have reasonable opinion, therefore we will develop tolerance and intolerance is the product of unreasonable argument or opinion.
