social teaching

Social teaching refers to the principles and guidelines that address how individuals and communities should interact, especially in matters of ethics, justice, and human rights. Originating from religious, particularly Catholic, traditions, it emphasizes the dignity of the human person, the importance of community and solidarity, and the pursuit of the common good. Social teaching highlights the responsibilities to care for the marginalized, advocate for economic fairness, and protect the environment. It serves as a moral framework for addressing social issues and fostering equitable relationships within society.
