Confucian philosophy is a philosophy that has had a significant influence in China. The teachings of Confucius emphasize how to live a harmonious life by prioritizing morality or virtue and leading to the ideals of human beings as individuals and in society. The Individual Code of Ethics is the thought of the Chinese philosopher, namely Confucius. The Individual Code of Ethics is the characteristic that must be possessed, namely the concept of the ideal human being. In it, there are several characteristics that humans must have, namely Jen (humanity), Hao (respect for parents), Chun-tzu (gentlemen), and Li (etiquette), and what underlies these traits is that they must have the nature of Chih (Wisdom). Educating about the personal code of ethics and applying it to humans can be a middle way to overcoming an identity crisis because individuals can know themselves more deeply and know that there are values ??in themselves so that the identity crisis can be overcome.
