Life and Dignity of the Human Person.
The Bible teaches us that the human life is sacred and holy. The Bible also teaches us to not take any part in deeds that will violate human life (5th Commandment). These acts include death penalty, euthanasia, war, and abortion.

"We have observed that, in society and the world in which we live, selfishness has increased more than love for others, and that men of good will must work, each with his own strengths and expertise, to ensure that love for others increases until it is equal and possibly exceeds love for oneself."- Pope Francis

Dignity of Work & the Rights of Workers.
In our society, the workers must serve the economy. Workers should be allowed to join unions and be able to stand for their rights as humans. Unfortunately, workers for big companies like Gap and Nike are forced to work in "sweatshops" where they're underpayed and hungry.
Deuteronmy 5: 13-15 The Sabbath day is for all, everyone should rest from their work.
“A person's rightful due is to be treated as an object of love, not as an object for use.”- Pope John Paul II

Solidarity.
God made all humans to be a human family. God also made us to be brothers and sisters no matter of gender, race or religion. We are to promote justice and peace as children of God and not create war or take human life for the sake of any religion.
Matthew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.
“Do not be afraid to take a chance on peace, to teach peace, to live peace...Peace will be the last word of history.”- Pope John Paul II

Care for God's Creation.
As Gods children, he calls us to be stewards of creation. Caring for the earth and God's creation is a standard of faith all must follow. Pope Francis made a speech to Congress to address the rates of global warming and will be making another speech in Paris about global warming and the World economy.
Leviticus 25: 1-7 The land itself must be cared for, not abused.
“The earth will not continue to offer its harvest, except with faithful stewardship. We cannot say we love the land and then take steps to destroy it for use by future generations.”- Pope John Paul II
