Thomas Berry wrote in his book<a great cause-the road to the future of mankind>:"Throughout the20th century, mankind continued to indulge themselves, to reap profits through the destruction of the planet, resulting in the deterioration of the situation more and more, for interests that even unknown by themselves,."Considered events like ’tainted milk’,’lean’,’Little Yue Yue’,’Guo Mei Mei’ and many others occurred in China in recent years r, we have to admit that this conclusion has been confirmed. Thus we should think seriously about such practices:for the dominant political and economic mainstream of society mode allows, precisely, is to encourage, citizens to pursue personal interests (especially material benefits) as a primary goal in life. Is it wise? What is the legitimacy of this mainstream value guide? Is it really provides everyone the best lifestyle?There are indications that, once humans start to pursue wealth growth, material well-being blindly, it will inevitably cast in the eyes of secular life, thus forming a secular attitude towards life. This attitude has inevitably produce a principle of action under a chain reaction, namely the principle of self-interest type of action. Humans who live in egoistic era that secular life attitudes and principles of action are dominators, will gradually cut off original contact and intimacy between the nature of the universe and life in the world completely, and will eventually become the so-called "economic man" which losing their souls, mounting up by the sensual desires, pleasures and material wealth needs. As a "moral person" part, accompanying with the loss of the spirit, the soul, the loss of courage of taking a larger responsibility, and the gradual disappearance of ethical judgment about the natural universe, life and humanity itself, so language and behavior began its separation. This worsening survival situation, is precisely show that the poor and weak human spirit reached a considerable degree.Consider the rational pursuit of the spirit and obedience as a better value target is a hard thing (look at this situation from the stage, it must be a hard thing) is in the normal range, but when most people even comply with the specification,also need moral reason and the will to restrain materialism and self-interest, how can we do? In such a reality, where ethics should be placed? Eighth session of the National People’s Congress also mentioned the " comprehensively improve the quality of civic virtue, which is the basic task of socialist moral construction." Marx pointed out that moral as a social values construction and operation support systems, must changes with social political structure, economic structure and social governance model. However, we need to realize what kind of methods and means to match moral transformation? The authors conclude that for all these changes, moral system which is able to provide legal defense of the value of rationality and effective support, will never be the kind of exclusive and blood community and the natural economy rooted "natural morality" system, will establish a rational basis in the general interest and, in line with the requirements of building a modern social order, universal and common trait of rational moral system So in such a premise I think solve the question " How will moral do me a favor?" is better than " Why should I act according to moral?"This article is divided into four chapters:Chapter1:Introduction. First, put forward the background and significance of the article, in order to better expand the full text of the paper stated. Second, analysis of the research status related fields, and then show difficulties in the process of writing and innovation of personal opinion, also clarify the deficiencies and the value of the article. Finally, define the related concepts in writing process, so as to provide support for the writing. In summary, the full text of this chapter is to start preparing the foundation of discuss.Chapter2:intrinsic link between self-interest and the individual’s moral. This chapter is intend to put the egoistic era as background, placed the individual moral shape among this particular era,discuss the relevant characteristics,conflict of contact and conflict of self-interest and individual moral shape, conclude the years of self-interest dual characteristics of an individual shape, indicating that an individual’s moral self-interest to get in shape possible. For the later introduction of ways of making a moral individual shape. In summary, this chapter plays a connecting roleChapter3:moral and institutional threshold in egoistic era. This chapter is based on the last chapter, on the one hand, to show the characteristics of this era, the various conflicts that have emerged with the individual needs of a large number of road between moral anomie;on the other hand, to show facing with moral needs, contradictions between institutional ethics and individual morality. Finally made a strong appeal for a reasonable reversion of institutional ethics. To sum up, this one is the core point of the article. Chapter4:exploration of the rational institutional ethics reversion. This chapter provides some clues and ideas for a reasonable institutional ethics reversion. Based on the relationship between individual moral and ethical system, institutional ethics, and successful case,proving system of ethics play an active role in shaping moral individual under the age of self-interest, and making use of institutional ethics advocates to motivate the individual characteristics moral consciousness, making the rationalization of the institution closer to the reality of the value of the individual as a social ethic demands and ethical values and social aspirations coincide, both unity in order to achieve the purpose of shaping individual morality. Thus, offer a few ideas about of the rational institutional ethics reversion as the end of the article.
