Line of reasoning:

• Living creatures, including human beings, have no other option but to move. (See the principles and the foundation.) We depend on each other and by means of mutual influence we shape each other. This is the way how our personal identity as well as our group identities and our cultural identity at large evolve.
• The Ethics of Care philosophy is based on the mutual dependency principle and put forward a caring democracy (Joan C. Tronto, 10 januari 2015) society.
• The consequence of this dependency and therefor the notion that no one can stand on his or her own in reflected in ground rule 1: co-dependency implies care responsibility.
• Not everyone is willing or able to take on the caring responsibility towards each other thereby inhibiting progress to be made in societal challenges. In the facilitator guide, a process is discussed based on mutual understanding and shared meaning to gain understanding in the nature of a societal challenge by investigating worldviews and the options for change. This usually requires, as is reflected in ground rule 2: diversity in opinions is a basic and essential right, that stakeholders must look beyond their own or their organizations interest and take other interests into account in order to move collectively in the right direction.
