Some Similar Features in Protestant Ethics and Traditional Ethics

Abstract

In Vietnam there are some differences between Western civilization and Eastern civilization as well as differences between new religions and ancient and familiar religions. But this article, the writer would like to deal with the similar features between Protestant ethics and traditional ethics. In the past, we had an extreme view on religions; we had not realized the significance of religious ethics in social life. Today, the Vietnamese Communist Party has advocated that “Promoting the good values of religious culture and ethics”. The writer would like to provide dialectical theory to encourage all people who contribute to build a general moral basis of Vietnamese people. Simultaneously, the writer wants to overcome the preconception about the difference between religious believers and people who preserve traditional beliefs and between managers and Protestant believers.
