ABRAHAO, Jorge Luiz. The self and the world: for ethics in the 21st century. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2020, vol.54, n.4, pp. 134-140. ISSN 0486-641X.

ABSTRACT This work aims at covering ethics for the 21st century. It highlights the contradiction between achievements in the last one hundred years, such as the increase of life expectancy, decrease of infant mortality rate, higher production of wealth and the technological development besides its distribution among people and population. There has been an improvement on the ability to create wealth, but not on the way it is distributed. It recognizes that we have progressed as a group, watching the economic development, work conditions and the environment. However, we haven't achieved an integrated vision on sustainable production. It also points out the detrimental impact on the environmental caused by the way development is happening, without limit control. It proposes that governmental leadership roles and profile are reviewed so that people understand the relation among production, nature preservation and wealth distribution.

Keywords : sustainability; ethics; wealth distribution.
