Abstract: This study explores the transformation of values in contemporary societies under the influence of applied ethics, which has emerged as a response to the complex moral challenges posed by rapid scientific and technological progress. It examines how applied ethics — particularly in fields such as bioethics, medical ethics, and environmental ethics — has reshaped traditional moral frameworks and redefined the relationship between ethics, law, and human rights. The research highlights the growing interdependence between ethical reasoning and legal norms, showing how moral principles have increasingly influenced legislative developments. Through a critical analysis of philosophical and legal sources, the study reveals that value change in applied ethics is not merely a moral evolution but a structural shift in how modern societies negotiate the boundaries between individual autonomy, scientific innovation, and collective responsibility.
