ABSTRACT

Individuals belonging to the community have various values. They experience conflicts due to differences, and solve problems through dialogue. In this process, differences arise and conflicts occur. Communities can not be confined to one individual because they differ in their pursuit. Individuals are connected like webs because they live in a community that has already been established. These are referred to as ‘encumbered self’ because they are related to others and constitutive communities. The encumbered self is influenced by the whole society and formed as the whole of experience. But in our society, People have a tendency to get rid of encumbered self. Especially, they are pursuing more selflessness due to the development of internet media and smart phones. This article examines the need for individuals to be individuals as ‘moral self’ and the moral ethics for the definition of the whole community. Finally, this paper looks at the responsibilities that appear in ‘face of the Others’ in the community.
