# Chapter VII: Ethics for the human genre > Education should lead to an “anthropo-ethics” through recognition of the ternary quality of the human condition: a human being is an individual <-> society <-> species. In this sense, individual / species ethics requires control of society by the individual and control of the individual by society; in other words, democracy. And individual / species ethics calls for world citizenship in the 21st century.
>Ethics cannot be taught by moral lessons. It must take shape in people’s minds through awareness that a human being is at one and the same time an individual, a member of a society, a member of a species. Every individual carries this triple reality within himself. All truly human development must include joint development of individual autonomy, community participation, and awareness of belonging to the human species.
>From this point, the two great ethical-political finalities of the new millennium take shape: establishment of a relationship of mutual control between society’ and individuals by way of democracy, fulfillment of Humanity as a planetary community. Education should not only contribute to an awareness of our Earth-Homeland, it should help this awareness find expression in the will to realize our earth citizenship.

These are three perspectives from three distinctions. Bio-physical Individual-Psychological Social-Groupwise
The parts of the systems seen from these three perspectives (created through three distinctions) are quite different. Of course each person is in relation to all three perspectives but the types and dynamics are very different. The act of living is an opportunity to continuously integrate three very dissimilar sets—like a juggling act with bombs, teddy bears, and water.
