The document discusses the development of social relationships and communication in the modern world. It sees this as generally positive if planned for the common good, as it allows people to better understand each other and cooperate. However, it must be guided by concern for justice, peace, and human dignity. The tools of communication can cultivate charity if used to build community and fellowship among all people. Overall, the document expresses an optimistic view of how modern developments in socialization and communication, if properly oriented, can help advance society according to Christian principles.

5. 12. So, "among the wonderful technical inventions" which foster communication among human beings, Christians find means that have been devised under God's Providence for the encouragement of social relations during their pilgrimage on earth. These means, in fact, serve to build new relationships and to fashion a new language which permits men to know themselves better and to understand one another more easily.

6. Socialisations and redemption 12. By this, men are led to a mutual understanding and shared ambition. And this, in turn, inclines them to justice and peace, to good will and active charity, to mutual help, to love and, in the end, to communion. The tools of communication, then, provide some of the most effective means for the cultivation of that charity among men which is at once the cause and the expression of fellowship.

7. Socialisation: Mater et Magistra 59-67 59. Certainly one of the principal characteristics which seem to be typical of our age is an increase in social relationships, in those mutual ties, that is, which grow daily more numerous and which have led to the introduction of many and varied forms of associations in the lives and activities of citizens, and to their acceptance within our legal framework.

12. Socialisation: New Anthropology Behind the notion of socialisation is an anthropological shift that is reflected in the whole document. Christianity is the meeting-point of earth and heaven. It lays claim to the whole man, body and soul, intellect an d will …. (2) Whole person approach—the end of duality?

13. Socialisation: New Anthropology For actually this growth in the social life of man is not a product of natural forces working, as it were, by blind impulse. It is, as we saw, the creation of men who are free and autonomous by nature--though they must, of course, recognize and, in a sense, obey the laws of economic development and social progress, and cannot altogether escape from the pressure of environment. (63)

14. Socialisation: New Anthropology This is not a pre-determined plan but worked out in history by autonomous individuals. “Let history be our guide”

15. Socialisation: New Anthropology 219. This teaching rests on one basic principle: individual human beings are the foundation, the cause and the end of every social institution. That is necessarily so, for men are by nature social beings. This fact must be recognized, as also the fact that they are raised in the plan of Providence to an order of reality which is above nature. Humanization—the human as the ground of ethical reflection.
