It is shown that in the modern world the formation of the specifics of morality is influenced by religious, socio-cultural, moral, and psychological determinants. Each of these spheres has a special influence on the formation of the spiritual world of the individual, but only the integration of all these components makes it possible to develop the wholesome personality.The paper also emphasizes interference of technical means into interpersonal relationships that create a qualitatively different form of public communication and affect the deepest subjective-psychological, spiritual, ethical, and personal spheres of human existence. All this became a characteristic feature of contemporary social relations. Global media, compressing time and creating a single information space on the planet, give a person access to a huge world of information, regardless of their social status, education, intellectual level and material well-being.When solving problems of identity and value orientations of modern man the article defines new moral imperatives, which will become effective regularities of the development of mankind. The author refers to environmental, ethical, social imperatives, as well as the imperative of responsibility.According to the author, the emergence of a global community determines the demand for a fair and equal consideration of political, economic, social and other interests of its members. The ethics of the modern, globalized society is a synthetic, multi-tiered system of knowledge and norms of behavior.
