Abstract
Throughout every society One of the fundamental requirements of social existence is ethics,and in various societies, seniors have always been concerned about how well this requirement is upheld. The cultural, political, and economic framework of a society determines how much its citizens can be expected to perform in accordance with its moral values. Due to the fact that ethics itself has been formed and developed in the historical ambiance of a nation ethics and has been impacted within by all these changes. Therefore, it is unreasonable to expect social activists uphold ethics and moral standards in all circumstance. we purposefully sought to address using an analytical-descriptive approach, this question "To what extent did ethics endure changes and transformations? "And who has had the significant influence on these changes? In which Obeid Zakani’s short-term society (the eighth century AH) suffered from lack of political and economic stability, the result of which ,impacted morality in a way that it could reject its original concepts and become overwhelmed with its own vortex, leading to a state of alienation from itself. In such aforementioned society, imprudence and individualism, grow without any consideration unethical actions considered moral. Ubayd Zakani who has satire to portray the embitterment and difficulties in his era, emphasizes the elites’ function in overturning moral concepts, which construed in religious hypocrisy, though they have influenced a mass of people and formed a society that has nothing to do with its moral origin values and has become alien to its history and culture.
