Psychology of the state
The state as a form of social organization
In DREVO's New Psychology, the state is viewed not only as a system of power and laws, but also as a form of social organization designed to create conditions for a safe, free, and creative human life.
The state does not exist by itself.
Its purpose is to serve society, protect human dignity, ensure fair rules and create conditions for the development of present and future generations.
State and Man
Man is the foundation of the state.
The quality of a state is determined not only by laws and economics, but above all by the level of maturity of its citizens.
Responsible citizens create responsible public institutions.
Mature social institutions, in turn, create conditions for personal development.
Thus, man and the state are in constant mutual influence.
The main functions of the state
From the perspective of New Psychology DREVO, the state performs several fundamental tasks.
- Protection of life.
- Ensuring the security of the individual, society and the country.
- Justice.
- Creating laws that equally protect the dignity of every person.
- Education.
Developing a system that educates not only specialists, but also mature citizens.
Healthcare.
Creating conditions for maintaining the physical and psychological health of the population.
Development of science and culture.
Supporting research, education, art and the preservation of cultural heritage.
Environmental responsibility.
Protection of nature and rational use of natural resources.
Psychological health of the state
A psychologically stable state is distinguished by:
- high level of trust between people;
- respect for human dignity;
- developed culture of cooperation;
- responsibility of the authorities and citizens;
- independent justice system;
- accessible education;
- respect for knowledge and science;
- the opportunity for peaceful expression of different views;
- striving for long-term development.
The higher the trust and sense of justice, the more stable the society.
State and freedom
Freedom is one of the conditions for personal development.
However, freedom is inextricably linked with responsibility.
The state must protect human freedom as long as the exercise of this freedom does not violate the rights, dignity and security of other people.
A free society is impossible without respect for the law.
The law loses credibility when it ceases to be fair.
State and citizen
- A citizen is not only a recipient of government services.
- He is a participant in the development of the state.
- Every person influences society:
- by your own labor;
- compliance with laws;
- payment of taxes;
- raising children;
- participation in public life;
- volunteer activities;
- respect for other people.
Responsible citizenship begins with taking responsibility for one's own actions.
State of the Future
In DREVO's New Psychology, a strong state is determined not only by the size of its economy, army, or territory.
Its power is manifested in the ability to create conditions under which a person can:
- live safely;
- get an education;
- maintain health;
- work;
- start a family;
- develop your abilities;
- participate in the life of society;
- freely implement creative initiatives.
The main indicator of a state's development is the quality of human life and the stability of society.
The state as an ecosystem
- The state is like a living organism.
- Citizens are its cells.
- Families - fabrics.
- Communities are organs.
- Public institutions are systems of governance.
If there is trust, cooperation and justice between them, the state develops sustainably.
When trust is destroyed, the entire system is weakened.
The main principle
The state is not created for the sake of power.
The state is created for the sake of man.
And people develop not in spite of the state, but together with it, when public institutions help to reveal human potential, protect the dignity of the individual, and promote the development of society.
Definition
The state is a form of social organization based on law, responsibility and cooperation, the purpose of which is to protect life, ensure justice and create conditions for the harmonious development of the individual, society and future generations.
In DREVO's New Psychology, the psychology of the state studies the mutual influence of the individual, society, and state institutions, viewing the state as a living social system whose quality is determined by the maturity of its citizens, the fairness of its institutions, and its ability to serve the common good.
Psychology of civilization
Civilization as the highest form of cooperation
In the New Psychology of DREVO, civilization is viewed as the result of centuries-long collaboration between millions of people and thousands of generations.
It includes not only states, cities and technologies, but also knowledge, culture, morality, science, education, language and human experience.
Civilization is a living system that continuously develops together with man.
Just as the individual develops through family and community, humanity develops through civilization.
What is civilization?
Civilization is the ability of a society to preserve, accumulate, and transmit knowledge, creating conditions for further human development.
It unites:
- science;
- education;
- culture;→
- technologies;→
- economy;
- right;
- medicine;
- art;
- ecology;
- public institutions.
All these elements form a single system of human development.
Psychology of civilization
The psychology of civilization studies how collective consciousness, culture, knowledge, values, and modes of cooperation influence the development of humanity.
It examines not only the behavior of individuals, but also the patterns of development of large human systems.
The question of the psychology of civilization sounds like this:
"How does humanity become more mature?"
Stages of civilization development
History shows that human development goes through several main stages.
Survival civilization
The main task is to save lives.
The struggle for resources, security and physical existence prevails.
Civilization productions
The main task is to create material wealth.
Crafts, industry, economics and technology are developing.
Civilization of knowledge
Education, science, information and innovation become the main resources.
Civilization of creation
The next stage is a society in which knowledge, technology and economics serve the development of man, nature and future generations.
It is this stage that New Psychology DREVO considers as a direction for further development.
Signs of a mature civilization
A mature civilization strives to:
- respect human dignity;
- keep the peace;
- develop education and science;
- maintain culture;
- protect nature;
- use technology for the benefit of people;
- reduce the level of violence;
- strengthen international cooperation;
- think long-term.
Its main wealth is not only natural resources, but also the quality of people.
The psychological age of civilization
Like a person, civilization goes through stages of maturation.
An immature civilization is more likely to act impulsively, guided by fear, force, and short-term gain.
A more mature civilization is more likely to rely on knowledge, cooperation, long-term planning, and respect for human dignity.
This analogy serves as a philosophical model, not a strict scientific classification.
Civilization and nature
Humanity does not exist separately from the biosphere.
By destroying natural systems, civilization gradually weakens its own foundations.
Therefore, sustainable development requires finding a balance between technological progress and the preservation of the natural environment.
The future of civilization depends not only on new technologies, but also on the ability to live in harmony with the Earth's ecosystems.
Civilization and the Future
- Each generation inherits a civilization.
- But each generation is also responsible for what it will become.
- Real progress is not measured solely by economic growth.
- It is measured by
- how much people become:
- wiser;
- more free;
- more responsible;
- healthier;
- more cooperative;
- more creative.
The main principle
The highest goal of civilization is to create conditions in which every person can develop his or her abilities, preserve human dignity, and contribute to the development of life.
The more society helps a person become a creator, the more mature the civilization itself becomes.
Definition
Civilization is a historically developing system of human cooperation that unites knowledge, culture, technology, social institutions, and values for the preservation and development of life.
In the New Psychology of DREVO, the psychology of civilization studies the patterns of human development, explores how collective values, culture, education and cooperation shape the future of society, and proposes a transitionfrom a civilization of survival to a civilization of creation, where the main wealth is not resources, but a developed person, strong communities and a responsible attitude to life.
