    The document discusses the principles of solidarity and subsidiarity. Solidarity refers to members of society thriving together through mutual support and care for one another. Subsidiarity means empowering lower groups to be independent from higher authorities if they are capable. There is often tension between the two principles, so finding a balance, such as unemployment benefits that also incentivize job searching, is important.
