The Catholic Social Teaching describe “the common good” by organize the society, in economics and politics, in law and policy. Yes its important. Because directly affects human dignity and the capacity of individuals to grow in community. Also the church teachers that the role of the government, and other institutions is to protect human life and human dignity and promote the common good.

3.

I pay particular attention to the role of religious belief and religious communities in the theory and practice of communal liberalism. One reason for this focus is that I have a special interest in the role of religion in public life, arising out of my conviction that religious traditions are an important resource for understanding and pursuing the common good. Also, because religious doctrines often inform "thick" views of the good life, views not shared or readily grasped by those outside the tradition, some people think religious belief presents a problem, or at least a challenge, to the functioning of a pluralistic society. While there is certainly historical and current testimony to support this concern, the charge must be carefully investigated. Finally, since religion involves both belief and practice, as well as both cultural and institutional expressions, a focus on religion helps us investigate the variety of pluralism cultural, institutional, religious, and ideological in modern society.

Within the market economy system, the challenge is getting the right balance, especially how and when the government needs to intervene to correct market failure, and a resilience approach would suggest it cannot be a fixed balance; the balance needs to be adaptive. Beyond national scales, the world picture suggests that global corporations and nations are driven by self-interest and competition, with little allegiance to global-scale institutions that will ensure common good at the global scale. Climate change is the obvious example, but there are other issues that are equally worrying, such as increasing antibiotic resistance and nuclear proliferation. And the big problem we face in the resilience of the global economy has everything to do with human aspirations.

5.

The common good will be achieving by working to wards real maturity as both individuals and members of a community. Power argues that it is imperative to look for a core of shared ethical values and principles, and to establish a global ethics with democracy, human rights, peace, and pluralism as basic ingredients. Which indicates that there are several key values and principles valid across cultures, religions and societies. These include human rights as well as equity and self-determination. There is also wide agreement that concern for others, responsibility, good manners, tolerance and respect for other people are important values.
