“Organic Morality” simply means that the seven values that are organicto our species form the basis for an organic, integrated decision-making code (morality)that has the capability of sustaining the social existence of communities and societies. [1] Because this morality is based on the values that are organic to our species, it is a humanistmoralityand not associated with religions or social institutions. 

The bottom line for all decision-making is in this order:  survival, existence, continued existence, self-sustainability, and perpetual social sustainability.  This applies to governments, profit-making and non-profit businesses just as it does to individuals.  Without a consistent set of values for making integrated, consistent, systems-capable decision-making that supports sustainability, then those organizations will face eventual extinction. 

The best place to begin changing the course of democratic nations is in the homes and families that produce the future’s leaders, innovators, decision-makers, in all organizations.  This morality is the organic guide for validating the best practices of child rearing and parenting, as well as educational, corporate, governmental, and economic planning and policy development at local-to-global levels. 

This is a critical time for decision-making that could lead to the peaceful social evolution of social institutions, political entities, and economic policies.  This is a time when a proven set of integrated and universally applicable values must be presented to the world as a social-systems morality that is applicable to the holism of all human activity beginning with what our children are taught and how our children are raised.  Necessarily, the values that form such a morality must be capable of being easily used by the average citizen in every local community to validate their decisions as parents and those of their public executives, and the decisions of corporations. 

These values have the capability of giving all organizations, governments, and whole societies the same ageless sustainability as our species when they are used consistently for personal and organizational decisions. Doing so, these values will move families, communities, and societies toward social stability, peace, and social sustainability in terms of centuries and millennia. 

The historic, perennial failure of all organizations.  Using the organic morality of social sustainability bears down upon decision-making.  Decision-making in the 3^rd millennium will become far different from the decision-making of all preceding millennia of human history.  Why?  Simply because there will be no society or nation that will survive without making far more effective and proactive decisions that lead organizations and societies to become self-sustaining, peaceful, stable, and eventually socially sustainable. 

That necessity becomes imminent when all millennia and centuries are examined for any society that became self-sustaining.  History is very clear:  All prior decision-making of all, nations, civilizations, organization, administrations, dynasties, empires, governments, and administrations, and all of their policies have ended in failure. [2] We can expect the same result for our contemporary existent organizations including any local or national democratic governments, whole nations, and any other organization from a sole proprietorship to multi-national global corporations.

In the social context of a world that is changing rapidly, where predictability of the future is becoming less and less sure of what the next year and months bring to us, a timeless, universal, and consistent decision-making process that is based on the integrated set of core values that are organic to every individual is essential for sound decision-making to provide consistent and predictable outcomes. 

The three primary organic values provide the criteria for a socially sustainable decision-making process  that is in actuality a moral code that is organic to our humanness — our humanity. As an evolved morality it promotes the individual as having an intrinsic value to society.  It promotes the necessity of improving the quality of life for each individual to become a more valuable asset who can aid the progress of society. 

Using these values for decision-making the individual proactively makes decisions that add value to their own life and their community.  The same applies to organizations that make decisions using these values.  People and organizations that make decisions using these values proactively create a mutual symbiosis because these values are integrative in nature, where the individual is seen as capable of influencing the whole as much as the whole influences the individual.  This type of thinking values the circular, systems integrity of the family, community, and society.  The individual exists in a relationship of connectedness, integration and inclusiveness, rather than separation and exclusiveness.  

The quality, value-based decision-making of this morality offers individuals the option of giving organic interpretations to their world.  People are valued because they have the capacity to add quality-value to their community and society.  Being valued, the community and society provide services to the individual and family all along the “continuum of life” to improve the capability of their social decision-making.  With this in mind, it becomes easier to see how this morality acts not only to preserve the quality-value of everyone, but proactively provides a more supportive social environment that adds value to the individual as an asset to their communities and societies.  To increase the value of an individual’s contribution to society that individual must be seen as an asset whose value to society can be increased.  The individual then becomes a social asset who can develop a “return on investment” to his or her family, community, and society. 

By investing in the social sustainability of the family[3] as the primary socializing and enculturating social institution in every community and society, the child-becoming-adult is prepared to use a code of sustaining morality.  Investing in the social sustainability of individuals, beginning even before conception and continuing through the age of separation from the family, will assure the family, community, and dominant society of becoming socially sustainable.
