Why are the ethics changing that we use to relate to each other?

Question:If I understand your question correctly, then I'd say ethics in general have changed, when relating to each other which might be due to these reasons....
1. Fast increase of the worlds Population
(it is more difficult to teach ethics, when new problems due to more population arise. Plus the demand outways the logic)

2. Increased Wealth for not just the usual Western World occupants, but many new immigrants who are enjoying the freedoms & wealth have difficulty adjusting to such vast changes in their lives & the lives of their offspring. Those most recent to a better quality of life do not have the luxury the Western World had to slowly reap the benefits & adapt with them.
The increased wealth for those Western Countries have enjoyed such wealth for soooo long, that the belief of "Entitlement" ensues, it is a natural human behaviour, but a detrimental one, that flaws humans to alter their views with ethics.)

3. Human memory & it's selective memory.
(Unless humans make a repetitive effort to remember the important ethical things we learned from our previous mistakes or mistakes of others, we often choose to become apathetic & our memory forgets, so we end up making the very mistakes we swore we'd never make again, or we forget to pass on our wisdom to the next generations, so those ethics are lost only to be repeated in atrocities previous generations learned the hard way & we treat each other with our fueling emotions & not knowledge.)
Well, that's my Philosophical guess any ways.

It seems that we are changing more than ethics...it's more like the lack of ethics if you know what I mean. The basics haven't changed, people are just loosing faith, morals, trust....and hey, who can blame them.

b/c just like every other possible human endeavour, they change.

And to vitraux, yeah i agree, it was much better in the past when we burned witches, had 11 crusades, and had slaves. We were so much more moral then

A great apostasy has taken place and in the void the politcally correct have swarmed in to replace our ancient standards with a "new morality".
God help us, because we sure as hell aren't helping ourselves now .... are we?

They began changing when Kant said we could not know the real world. Hegel believed him and deduced that nothing is anyone's fault. Marx believed Hegel and said we had to steal from the rich to give to the poor. But socialistic views of liberals in the 20th century "broke the camel's back."

Her is how it began with Kant:
"The "phenomenal" world, said Kant, is not real: reality, as perceived by man's mind, is a distortion. The distorting mechanism is man's conceptual faculty: man's basic concepts (such as time, space, existence) are not derived from experience or reality, but come from an automatic system of filters in his consciousness (labeled "categories" and "forms of perception") which impose their own design on his perception of the external world and make him incapable of perceiving it in any manner other than the one in which he does perceive it. This proves, said Kant, that man's concepts are only a delusion, but a collective delusion which no one has the power to escape. Thus reason and science are "limited," said Kant; they are valid only so long as they deal with this world, with a permanent, pre-determined collective delusion (and thus the criterion of reason's validity was switched from the objective to the collective), but they are impotent to deal with the fundamental, metaphysical issues of existence, which belong to the "noumenal" world. The "noumenal" world is unknowable; it is the world of "real" reality, "superior" truth and "things in themselves" or "things as they are"—which means: things as they are not perceived by man." "For the New Intellectual," from For the New Intellectual, 30.

Judge for yourself why ethics have changed.
