Nravstvennoral principle and nravstvennost

 

Nravstvennoral principle – do no harm to yourself, others, or the environment. It is realized in the nravstvennoral rule “Three Cs” (III-C): do no harm to yourself, your neighbors, or the environment, either by thought, word, or deed; create for yourself, your neighbors, and the environment by thought, word, and deed.

Nravstvennost is a general expression of those properties of human nature that perform the function of regulating relations between members of society, regardless of social, national, religious and other factors. It is a special attitude of thinking and behavior that allows one not to harm oneself, others, and the environment.

Harm is a disturbance of human life that is felt and experienced by a person. Threat is a potential harm to human life.

The ability to recognize harm and threats to citizens is formed in the process of socialization and is reinforced during the study of the rule “Three C” (III-C) in each family and educational institutions:

do no harm to yourself (C1),

do not harm neighbors (C2),

do not harm the environment (C3),

neither in thought, nor in word, nor in deed;

to create for oneself, one's neighbors, and the environment with thought, word, and deed.  

Nravstvennost can be used by any person to determine their own system of values. Nravstvennoral values reach any person voluntarily due to their attractiveness and universality, and are supported by the participation of all citizens in nravstvennoral education and enlightenment.
