Description: Society can cause shame in those who contribute to it and pride in those who do.
“We concluded from this research that among economics majors in the lab and hunter-gatherers in the forest, contributing to the success of a joint project for the benefit of one's group, even at a personal cost, evokes feelings of satisfaction and pride. Failing to do so is often a source of shame or guilt. Cooperation thus is sustained by altruistic motivations that induce people to help others when not helping would result in their having higher fitness or other material rewards.”

Description: Giving a child a sense of purpose is crucial to their well-being.
“Developing positive identities touches on some fundamental questions facing every young child: ‘Who am I?’, ‘Is it OK to be who I am?’ and ‘What is my place in this world?’ Answering these questions is crucial to every child’s well-being, or in everyday language to ‘feeling good’ and ‘being happy.”

Description: a new global ethic is required in order to create a sustainable future.
“Today people are more aware than ever of global realities. We are beginning to understand the impact of our individual and collective actions on ourselves and on the biosphere as a whole. The concept of sustainability is in itself a reflection of this new awareness. Perhaps we are beginning to move towards a new global ethic which transcends all other systems of allegiance and belief, which is rooted in a consciousness of the interrelatedness and sanctity of life. Would such a common ethic have the power to motivate us to modify our current dangerous course? There is obviously no ready answer to this question, except to say that without a moral and ethical foundation, sustainability is unlikely to become a reality.”

Description: The ecology crisis is an outcome of the crisis between humans, if this is ignored, no solutions will be found
"The Conflict Between Human & Human Is The Cause For The Conflict Between Humanity & Nature.
The conflict between humanity and nature is an extension of the conflict between human and human. Unless the ecology movement encompasses the problem of domination in all its aspects, it will contribute nothing toward eliminating the root causes of the ecological crisis of our time."

Description: The global crisis demands a new global ethical code
"The world faces a crisis of civilization, which is in reality a moral crisis. The modern moral worldview that has evolved since the 18th Century Age of Enlightenment seems to be weathering. There is a recrudescence of the old moral formulas that encourage conflicts and wars. Humanity is in need of a new moral revival, free of sectarian references, in order to pursue its long march for survival in a climate of progress and liberty."
