Read the following passage and answer the questions below:
Mankind needs today a new code of conduct, a sort of new morality if it can be called like that. Its fundamentals. are perhaps as old as the human race but its details and setting seem to me to be new, because our environment is new. There is no escape from putting over and again the old wine into the new bottle. Possibly that is the most dependable law to discover and his history has taught him. Viewed from a correct perspective, a sense of unity and cohesion must be given top priority in the moral code of modern man and woman. We may call this politics, we way call this religion or a curious mixture of both or something else but we have to remember on this depends in a very real sense man's future. As such, the moral value of an action in the complex modern environment must invariably be judged by its capacity to contribute to human unity and understanding. An action is moral so far as it does this, immoral so far as it desists from it and exerts a separatist influence. In the interest of exclusive and isolationism will have to be effaced from our moral vocabulary. Both science and religion go against it and in a happy marriage of them both assuredly lies man's future. To make life worth-living, we must make living itself possible and living is not possible in the modern scientific set-up without an adequate and abiding sense of unity.
