and the initial principle of the formation of any types of communities. Self-organizational formation of the sociality of
personality based on cooperation is grounded on the moral qualities of a personality, which are the structural elements
of consciousness and self-consciousness of personality. The absence of cooperation and the desire to cooperate is the
reason for loneliness and social alienation of personality. The basis of personal and collective success and growth is
social integration based on cooperation. Pragmatic measurement of cooperation is based on such criteria as usefulness,
efficiency, mutual benefit, and subsidiarity, which lie in the coordination of effort and allocation of spheres of
responsibility of personalities. Cooperation, collaboration, and collective work are based on such pragmatic criteria.

sacrifice, harmony, cohesion, collective responsibility, equality, solidarity, social responsibility, social peace, social
openness, justice, tolerance are the moral principles of cooperation. They are the self-organizational basis of the
formation of the sociality of personality.
