Summary: Historically, diplomacy between the United States and Japan has been carried out on extremely "ethical" principles.However, "ethics" is a very vague term.For example, taking the relationship between the United States and North Korea as an example, is the American attitude that "if we do not stop nuclear development, we will continue to preemptively attack for world peace and stability" is "ethical"?From North Korea's point of view, the option of "sustaining nuclear development to ensure the safety of its own people" can be said to be "ethical."If we focus on national interests, "ethics" may become an obstacle.Alternatively, the interpretation of "ethics" needs to be changed to be in line with national interests.So who and how do you set the "ethical standards"?Is it possible to change this "ethical standard"?Is it possible to establish a universal "universal ethics"?The possibility may be found where professional engineers act according to objective engineering principles and engineering interpretations of information, without being bound by the framework of the state.
