- Social and Moral Development (S-Level)
True maturity requires the elimination of systemic violence, including poverty, exploitation, and war. This axis measures a society’s ability to cultivate justice, equity, and peace across differences. It recognizes that well-being is not individual but collective, and that no civilization can be called advanced if it tolerates avoidable suffering. Many traditions around the world, from Ubuntu in Africa to Buen Vivir in Latin America, affirm that to thrive is to live well with others, not merely above them.
