The Governing of Humanity

If humanity is ever to establishing an interstellar community, they would need to rethink their current mindset of how they coexist living with each other. I have come up with what I believe is the best fundamental system for such an idea. I think humanity should be governed by two principles of ethics: the principle of himself and the principles of society. The principle of himself is the set of ethics in which the individual learns to critically think about the understanding of what is right and wrong through their own initiative. They learn a sense of personal-abiding morals in which they utilize to live harmoniously with themselves. The principles of society is the set of universal ethics in which an individual utilizes an understanding as well as a personal moral obligation towards coexisting harmoniously with family and other members of society. Utilizing these two principles, I believe an individual, as well as society as a whole, can govern itself. However, until then the use of morals taught through religious practices is necessary as society has still yet to learn benevolence or to utilize critical thinking for the rest of the good of their species.
