Addressing The Global Moral Crisis Through The Revitalization of Local Wisdom in The Age of Technology

Abstract

Contemporary society faces a profound moral crisis characterized by value erosion, ethical ambiguity, and declining social cohesion, paradoxically intensified by technological advancement. This article examines how the revitalization of local wisdom can address global moral challenges in the digital age. Drawing upon recent scholarship, this conceptual analysis explores the intersection of traditional knowledge systems and modern technology, arguing that local wisdom offers crucial resources for navigating contemporary ethical dilemmas. The discussion encompasses two primary dimensions: first, understanding the nature of the global moral crisis and its relationship to technological disruption; second, exploring strategies for integrating local wisdom with technological progress to foster ethical renewal. The analysis reveals that local wisdom traditions contain time-tested principles for ethical living, community building, and sustainable development that remain highly relevant despite rapid technological change. Successful integration requires deliberate effort to preserve, adapt, and disseminate traditional knowledge through modern platforms while maintaining authenticity and cultural integrity
