Accept and understand cultural and social affiliations as structural, volitive, and reasonable relations of the human condition. Understand that diversity is an inherent characteristic of the human being. Ethical Sense: Cultivate the moral good of oneself or others positively (that means, to everything which is or means good, personal realization, sense of justice) and persist in it. Identify, recognize, and apply moral character and ethical principles. Reflect on new perspectives critically, even if this means bringing them into question.
