What Defines a Good Society?

 What is a Good Society?  This question represents an important topic to study because we all live in the context of the systems around us, and how well-connected we are with each other is paramount importance to literally any branch of service we bring to others. What differentiates mammals from humans is a much-researched area of interest humans had for centuries. All observations lead to the conclusion that animals like primates and elephants, do live in social systems, groups we can call colonies, members even bond in an emotional connection, yet we cannot talk about societies in their case, because they don't operate on the level of shared values, beliefs or goals. I the case of human societies the different subgroups of people, or tribes, hold the same or similar values, which organizes them into these chosen colonies. Value based societies also mark their territories to protect those values and live an authentic life based on the criteria within the defined cultural domain. This later piece is perhaps rare, because integrity, that is to do what we believe in is exceptionally rare. So, if we now have defined what differentiates animal social systems from human society formations, we also can deduct what makes a society a society as such. It is SHARED VALUES and their practices that unite members by supporting criteria, laws, customs, futuristic systems to preserve or evolve into the image of the ideal culture its members desire to produce.  In my understanding the 30 points of Declaration of Universal Human Rights made a profound effort to clarify the universal, globally shared values of the human community, and instantaneously was approved by the original 48 countries of the world in 1948 where each sovereignty individually signed the declaration. Today this same number is 193 countries, with still much room for growth. The underlaying message behind the signing of the 30 points is based on the principal value of RESPECTING THE INHERENT DIGINITY OF THE HUMAN INDIVIDUAL. Societies are made of individuals, and the ultimate measure of a good society is how much respect it has for the life of its individual members, how much responsibility it demonstrates in practical response to inequalities and mitigating injustice, but also how much care and compassion is extended towards the vulnerable, victimized, neglected members. All this work requires investment, solid scientific and professional preparation, and strong individuals who have the capacity to join forces without compromising their own values, lifestyle balance, and personal safety. We recognize other universal societal values as well, like environmental concerns, a right for fresh air and nutritious food, family values, friendship and love, creative self-expression by the cultivation of arts, a desire to live in a society according to your definition of peace, historical cultural loyalty, access to equal chance for an excellent scholarship, but those perceived rights aren’t basic human rights, they are rights earnt by personal merit, hard work performed in the pursuit of happiness, and no government can guarantee to ensure it for you. Often passionate, expert, committed involvements of the individual in local communities are fundamentally rooted in personal values that join up with societal values to produce a powerfully fortified united front.....ideally. Values that influence my decisions are based in intense research, unending chain of questions that clarify ever-expansive perception fields that lead to amazing innovative accomplishments. Protecting such initiatives on a community organizational level is my highest understanding of the social arts and radical future building. I highly value living in a society of ever evolving and improving justice system, being involved in a timeless, intermedia level, international, and intellectual dialogue with
