Person - Upbringing - Culture

Abstract

The human person is a dynamic being, by virtue of which he perfects himself. That process of perfection has a three-fold character: the perfection of the subject himself, perfection of his action, and perfection of the external world. One of the dimensions of the human dynamism is the subjective existence of needs, which find their objective referents in values. Human development (upbringing) is an activity whose end is the sensitivization of the person to values, the humanization of the world, and the formation of the human person according to a hierarchy of values wherein "being" has primacy over "having". This also points to the primacy of ethics over technology, economics, politics, etc.
