Summary/Abstract: Ethical and moral responsibility is based on concrete life situations in cultures changing from the static to dynamic and complex societies. Universal principles became relative, even as based on a religious tradition and a vision of the meaning of life in a spiral evolution of new challenges and decisions. Earlier Christians could rely on a stab/e society and church, now the emphasis is on personal decision. The priorities in the hierarchy of values have changed, and the meaning of values, including family, religion, and personal freedom, has become different.
