Social welfare production is fundamentally different from social welfare system. It is essential for promoting civilization and collective well-being. This model relies on the collective efforts of society, generating sustainable benefits for all.

The Origin of Our Public Welfare Projects:

Why has Yicheng Commonweal chosen to promote the cause of “social welfare production” in the advancement of civilization?

We deeply love this land and the people here. We consider this place our hometown and strive to recreate it as a paradise. We have established sections dedicated to civilization, public welfare, and faith. With our full attention, we ponder how to attain collective well-being and steer clear of disasters and suffering.

Through continuous reflection and writing, we have realized that the core of advancing human civilization lies in the concept and practice of “social welfare production”. Thus, we have introduced this idea of “social welfare production” to illuminate the path to future happiness for everyone. By doing so, we want to point out the direction for future well-being and pave the way for public welfare projects.

Social welfare production is the only path to continually advancing human civilization

As a social practice centered on creativity, social welfare production is not only the foundation for promoting human civilization but also the true source of human well-being. Unlike individual pursuits and the accumulation of personal profit, social welfare production emphasizes the collective effort of society as a whole. Through various innovative welfare production models, it enables all members to benefit from shared resources, thereby achieving collective happiness and social progress. This article will delve into the value and significance of social welfare production, revealing why it is the sole pathway to advancing civilization and enhancing human well-being.

  1. Social Welfare Production as an Innovative Gathering of Social Forces

The key to social welfare production lies in creatively bringing together social forces. In contrast to the “distribution” model of traditional welfare systems, social welfare production transforms welfare resources into a driving force for innovation. It encourages collaboration among businesses, non-profit organizations, and communities to jointly build a welfare production network.

This networked approach enhances the value of welfare resources, allowing different social groups to attain value from their contributions. Not only does this method generate more social welfare, but it also strengthens the sense of participation and responsibility among members of society toward civilization.

  1. Social Welfare Production Promotes Sustainable Development of Well-being

Traditional welfare systems often rely on government funding and taxpayer support, whereas social welfare production harnesses the collaborative efforts of various sectors to create a sustainable source of benefits.

For example, education and skill enhancement programs driven by collaboration among government, businesses, and communities allow the results of social welfare production to be continuously updated and reused.

This model avoids the pitfalls of depleting singular resources, making welfare a collective achievement created and enjoyed by the entire society, thereby establishing a lasting foundation for social benefits. Social welfare production shifts the reliance on external support, fostering a sustainable welfare system propelled by the collective efforts of society.

  1. Social Welfare Production as a Social Mechanism for the Common Good

Social welfare production emphasizes a social mechanism aimed at achieving the common good through collective action and network cooperation.

Each social welfare production project results from collaborative efforts rather than being the unilateral contribution of an individual or a specific group.

For instance, in the realms of public health care and community services, the government collaborates with businesses and community organizations to build a broader and more efficient social welfare system through resource sharing and division of labor. This social initiative not only enhances service efficiency but also allows various social groups to share in the collective benefits and sense of security gained through collaboration.

  1. Social Welfare Production Drives Society Toward a Higher Level of Well-being

Happiness is not merely an enhancement of individual feelings, but represents the achievement of shared goals across society. Social welfare production, through collaboration and innovation, guides all levels of society toward higher objectives of well-being.

For example, initiatives promoting environmental sustainability, cultural development, and improvements in community life involve the collective participation of various social sectors, allowing all members to enjoy happiness in a better environment and a richer cultural context.

Through social welfare production, happiness transcends individual pursuits and becomes a reflection of the overall happiness and civilization of society.

  1. Social Welfare Production is Capable of Advancing Human Civilization sustainably

The overall progress of society stems from the collective efforts of all its members, and social welfare production is the most essential manifestation of that driving force.

Through creation, sharing, and shared responsibility, social welfare production enhances human civilization through continuous innovation, benefiting all members of society. This model not only provides material security but also fosters the elevation of cultural values.

Social welfare production is not reliant on individual efforts. Instead, it is the creative endeavor of the entire society, aiming to benefit humanity. It elevates civilization to new heights.

For this reason, social welfare production is the only pathway to the ongoing advancement of human civilization.

Conclusion

Social welfare production is also the fundamental source of human happiness.

By harnessing the collective power of cooperation and creativity, it transforms social resources into welfare, driving society to create value for every individual and all.

Only through socially driven welfare production can happiness be widely shared throughout society, leading human civilization toward a more harmonious and inclusive future.

Law or morality: which is the true measure of a civilized society?

Kishou · Nov 21, 2024

This question may sound profound, but in reality it is a false proposition. The relationship between law and morality is certainly important, yet both are tools and means, not the ultimate goal of a civilized society. True happiness and civilization do not lie in law or morality alone, but in the creation, production, and protection […]

法律与道德:到底哪个才是文明社会的准绳?

Kishou · Nov 21, 2024

这个问题看似深刻,实则是一个伪命题。法律与道德的关系固然重要,但它们只是工具和手段,而非文明社会的最终目标。我们真正的幸福和文明,不在于单纯的法律或道德,而在于社会福利的创造、生产与保障。通过建立能够保障和提升社会整体福利的体系与制度,个人与社会之间才能形成良性互动,推动人类走向更幸福、更公平、更有尊严的未来。 一、法律与道德的局限性 法律作为社会治理的基础,强调规则和秩序。然而,它无法涵盖人类生活的全部复杂性,更无法直接解决个体的幸福问题。法律虽能约束行为,却无法培养善意与关怀。例如,法律可以处罚偷窃,但无法立法强制每个人都去帮助贫困者。 同样,道德以内心和社会共识为基础,但其局限性在于缺乏强制力和普遍适用性。每个人的道德认知可能因文化、教育和个人经历而不同,这使得道德难以在多样化的社会中发挥统一的约束作用。 此外,单纯依赖道德指引,容易导致虚伪的道德表演。甚至有人站在道德的高地上,对处于弱势的群体提出道德要求,打着道德的幌子剥削他人。历史上这样的事情并不少见,直到今天类似的情景还在不断上演,比如我们经常看到有人对受害者进行道德审查。因此,对于维系与发展社会,单靠道德的引导是不够的,甚至会导致恶果。 二、社会福利:文明社会的真正准绳 真正的文明社会,不是建立在法律与道德的对立或协调之上,而是以能否创造社会福利为标准。社会福利通过满足人的基本需求,以提升人的生活质量和精神上的幸福感为目标,从根本上构建一个不断进步的社会。 1. 社会福利创造 社会福利创造是文明社会发展的第一步。通过创新性的制度设计与政策规划,我们可以为更多人创造公平发展的机会。例如,普惠性的教育的不断创新、全面的医疗覆盖体系,都是社会福利创造的体现。当然,很多社会中的教育制度和医疗体系都存在各种不足,人们需要以公平的分配、高质量的成果为目标不断去提升现有的体系,而不是旁观和顺从。只有在不断创造幸福感受基础上,个人才能实现真正的幸福,社会才能迈向更高层次的文明。 2. 社会福利生产 社会福利生产是将理念转化为现实的关键环节。更是社会福利创造后的延伸,它包括教育资源的不断普及、医疗设施的不断建设、社会服务标准化的提供等。例如,在许多发达国家,通过公共财政的投入和社会企业的参与,形成了高效且多样化的社会福利生产体系。这不仅让社会成员获得实实在在的帮助,也促进了社会文明的整体进步。 3. 社会福利保障 社会福利保障确保每个社会成员在面对疾病、失业、老龄化等风险时,能够获得基本的生活保障。这种保障不只是对个体的关怀,更是对社会稳定的维护。例如,养老保险制度的完善,不仅让老年人能够安享晚年,也减轻了年轻一代的经济压力。这种福利保障,是人类文明从弱肉强食到合作共赢的重要标志。 三、以社会福利为核心的幸福社会 当一个社会将福利创造、生产与保障作为核心任务时,法律和道德便不再是彼此对立的工具,而是共同服务于社会福利的手段。法律为福利的实现提供强制力和保障力,而道德则为福利的创造注入温暖与关怀。我们一乘公益在对此不断研究分析。 例如,北欧国家的社会福利体系被誉为现代文明的典范。通过免费教育、全民医疗、育儿补贴等一系列政策,这些国家在法律与道德的基础上构建了高度完善的福利社会。这样的社会,不仅让每个个体都能有尊严地生活,也实现了社会生活水平的整体提升。然而,北欧的福利体系重在保障人们的基本生活,却缺少福利的持续创造与生产,未能形成可持续的良性发展,全靠政府和纳税人持续的经济投入。如果能够在源头加入福利创造与生产环节,这个系统将源源不断地创造社会价值,超越现阶段这个高度依赖税金投入的体系。 四、一乘公益:重新种福我们的文明 我们一乘公益深知,真正的幸福与文明来自于社会福利的全面发展。因此,我们致力于通过创新公益项目,推动福利创造,优化福利生产,保障福利公平。我们相信,文明不是抽象的概念,而是可以被感知的幸福感,是可以种植的善意与责任感。 通过设计普惠性的公益组织、公益联合体、公益经济体,我们持续引入社会福利生产, 社会福利创造、 社会福利保障的服务,重新种福我们的生活,帮助更多人获得希望与支持。这种福祉的播种,将会改变了他人的生活,也将从根本上提升整个社会的幸福感与文明程度。 结语 社会真正的幸福与文明,源于社会福利的创造、生产与保障。通过社会福利体系的完善,法律和道德才得以发挥更大的价值,个体的生活质量与社会的整体进步才能得以保障。 文明的准绳,不在于抽象的理论争论,而在于实际行动中的福利播种。每一次社会福利的创新,每一个人生活的改善,都在推动社会迈向更光明的未来。幸福与文明的源泉,正是我们共同努力创造、生产和保障的福祉社会。
