The main issue presented in the article is the process of globalization (also described as a phase of global capitalism) seen from the ethical point of view. The process of globalization has been researched for a long time. Global ethics itself also seems to be already a separate field of study. The growing interest in ethics observed in the last years is mostly due to the crisis of trust put in the sphere of business, as well as the government and institutions. The aim of the article is to provoke a wider discussion concerning the basic rules and the intentions of the global ethics in the environment of today's conditions of global economy in capitalist countries as well as an attempt to convince that the level of the global ethics depends mostly on the current state of ethical awareness in the society and the institutional compliance with ethical norms on local, national and international level.
