Ethics and citizenship are fundamental concepts that guide human behavior in society. Ethics, linked to moral principles, promotes the adoption of fair and honest actions. Citizenship, on the other hand, is associated with the rights and duties of community members, including respect for laws.
Furthermore, it is essential to highlight that the practice of ethics and citizenship goes beyond interpersonal relationships, encompassing aspects such as accessibility. This includes the implementation of access ramps to places, ensuring that all citizens, regardless of their physical conditions, have the opportunity to fully participate in society.
By promoting ethics and citizenship, we contribute to building a fairer and more harmonious society, where peaceful coexistence, mutual respect, and inclusion are fundamental values. Thus, by cultivating these principles, we not only improve the quality of life of people around us but also strengthen the foundations of a more just, supportive, and accessible society.
