The best way to achieve a good quality of life in a society is through civic values, such as respect, tolerance and adherence to the law.
You practice these values when you are open and opt for dialogue rather than conflict. Tolerance is achieved by having a willingness to communicate with others and respect for freedom of thought.
3. Respect Beliefs
The Constitution establishes that any discrimination against the beliefs of others, whatever they may be, is prohibited.
All have the right to practice their faith without being discriminated against, judged or condemned. You must also respect the right of those who do not believe in anything.
4. Human Rights
Ensure that governments and authorities respect Human Rights that protect, among other things, life, dignity, freedom and equality.
Build a culture of peace and respect in your environment, transforming immature and hierarchical relationships into mature and egalitarian ones; it cooperates instead of competing destructively and seeks the common good instead of only its own good.
5. Protect the Animals
The species are a fundamental part of the ecosystem. If you have pets, your obligation goes beyond feeding them and giving them a roof. Actions such as cleaning up their waste, educating them and sterilizing them contribute to their protection.

7. Comply with your Obligations

8. Raise the Voice and Demand
It's not just about choosing the authorities: you have to watch them; if they are not watched, they become corrupt. Demand that they meet the specific goals previously agreed upon.
The Law of Free Access to Information has given citizens a powerful tool to hold their governments accountable. In all government portals there is an option for you to ask for information. Part of the civic obligation is to report the irregularities and, although sometimes there is fear, we must also raise our voice.

In addition to being demanding with authority, you must be a co-participant and co-responsible for what happens in your neighborhood. Citizen participation is included in the National Development Plan as a way to achieve effective democracy.
Participation also includes having your ID updated and going to the polls to elect the rulers.
10. Value the Other
This is the principle that starts: the conviction that everyone has something to give and something to do. Try to interact with the other, even if it is different from you, and see from your angle.
Give your place to the one who is different and recognizes that it is also important even if it has no relation to your own reality, no matter if it is of another race, country, social class or age.
