Civil consent and the scale of ethical assessment

 

 

Civil consent, positive (encouraging) or negative (condemning) is the opinion of citizens, expressed in an evaluative form regarding the social actions of social subjects.

Social action is the result of the activity of a social subject: intentions, statements, decisions, actions that affect interests, are capable of causing harm, creating a threat to more than one citizen.

A social subject is an individual, groups of people and their associations, organizations, enterprises, administration, government, civil society as a whole.

A social process is a way of existence of a social subject, its life activity carried out in interaction with other social subjects.

Negative civil consent is a consolidated condemning opinion of many social subjects regarding social actions or inactions of other social subjects. It is a tool for citizens, society and the state to protect and strengthen spiritual and nravstvennoral values, ensuring the priority of the spiritual over the material.

The ethical assessment scale (binary, multi-point) is a method of digitizing and visually representing the assessment of the level of nravstvennorality of a social subject. Ethical assessment scales can be used by citizens, organizations, and state and municipal authorities to organize the ethical assessment of social subjects.
