Volunteering and being active in the life of the community is what we call taking responsibility. All human beings must do their best to participate in the life of society. Responsibilities: commitment to peace, organization of public authority, preservation of the environment. Catechesis on Society according to God's design, in collaboration with Fr. Bertrand Ratovoalinirina.

For, all people are in society, so the good of each depends on the "common good." All conditions in society are called "common good", helping individuals and organizations as a whole to achieve their goals. For the common good, the authorities are called to respect the fundamental rights of everyone. Catechesis on Society according to God's design, in collaboration with Fr.Bertrand Ratovoalinirina.

Pope Leo XIII said: every society needs a leader to control it; leaders are needed to bring people together. The role of a leader is to seek the "common good," to share each other's strengths and to help each other grow and develop. The character of God, the one who does not discriminate but cares for the needs of all, should be the character of a leader. Catechesis on Society according to God's design, in collaboration with Fr. Bertrand Ratovoalinirina. 

Community is essential for people to achieve their goals. We must be careful about hierarchies of values. Community life must be considered the spiritual reality because it is an exchange of knowledge in truth. The Pope said: People should not be used as tools to achieve goals. Catechesis on Society according to God's plan, in collaboration with Fr. Bertrand Ratovoalinirina.
