"Sans moralité civique les communautés périssent sans moralité personnelle leur survie n'a aucune valeur"
— Bertrand Russell

Simplified Meaning:
Communities need shared rules and values to stay together and be strong. If people don't care about doing the right thing for their community, the community can fall apart. For example, imagine a town where no one follows laws or cares about each other. It would quickly become a chaotic and unsafe place to live. On the other hand, if people in a community act morally but only for themselves, the community might survive, but it wouldn't be a good place to live. People would be selfish and only think about their own needs. So, it’s important to have both a sense of responsibility to others and to ourselves. By caring for the community and living with personal integrity, we create a place where everyone can thrive.
