"I believe there is a moral sense and a global ethic that commands attention from people of every religion and every faith, and people of no faith. But I think what's new is that we now have the capacity to communicate instantaneously across frontiers right across the world"

This quote by Gordon Brown talks to the idea that there is a shared ethical sense and worldwide ethic that applies to individuals of all faiths, or no faith at all. This ethical sense is not a new idea, however what is brand-new is the ability to interact this sense of morality across the world in an instant. This is because of the advances in innovation that have enabled us to communicate with people from various countries and cultures in a matter of seconds. This has enabled us to share our moral values and beliefs with each other, and to come to a better understanding of each other's point of views. This has the possible to produce a more unified global community, and to promote a greater sense of understanding and regard between different cultures.
