THE ROLE OF SOCIETY AND INDIVIDUALS It is the fundamental duty of every citizen to cooperate to the Common Good in truth, justice, freedom, and solidarity. Every individual should love his homeland, defend it in various ways, in times of need, and gladly offer to serve civil institutions. One should exercise the right to vote and even run for office and not shirk and duty to pay just taxes. Nevertheless, within the state the individual citizen remains a free man with fundamental tight; he has the right to offer constructive criticism of the state and its organs. State is there for the people not the individual for the state. When we refuse to obey the state that violates the God’s laws. Every society builds on a hierarchy of values what is put into practice through justice and love. No society can last unless it is based on a clear orientation towards values that are reflected in a just ordering of relationships and active implementation of this justice. Therefore man may never be made into a means to and end of societal action. Every society needs constant conversion from unjust structures. Ultimately this is accomplished only by love, the greatest social commandment. It respects others, but it demands justice. It makes conversion from inequitable conditions possible. As BL. Etienne- Michel Gillet says- Today’s justice is yesterday’s charity; today’s charity is tomorrow’s justice.
