1. The importance of societal culture in shaping the psychological, social, and ethical structure of individuals’ identity.


2. Libyan culture suffers from a clear crisis manifested in the following aspects:
   
   
   
   • Moral value crisis, leading to a morally empty identity with distorted values and counterfeit effectiveness.
   
   
   • Social and communicative crisis, creating an individualistic, selfish, opportunistic, autocratic, and intolerant identity.
   
   
   • Educational crisis, resulting in a marginalized, superficial, stereotypical identity with wasted intellect and potential.
   
   
   
   


3. The means to address the Libyan cultural and educational crises include:
   
   
   
   • Respecting human dignity and recognizing its value and capabilities to achieve psychological and societal effectiveness.
   
   
   • Acknowledging individuality and uniqueness in psychological identity to foster a knowledgeably superior and morally elevated self.
   
   
   • Promoting authentic moral values in balance with modern values to create a psychologically and socially adaptive identity.
   
   
   • Developing the psychological structure of Libyan identity, including confidence in excellence, performance enthusiasm, and adaptability.
   
   
   
   

• Proposing a future vision for an educational value system to build an effective Libyan identity contributing to Libya’s development.
