A globalização está se intensificado cada vez mais, e, em igual escala, as pessoas se especializam em suas atividades. Nesse processo, observamos que os indivíduos mantém relações tanto material quanto espiritualmente entre si. Na medida em que a sociedade evolui, as pessoas desenvolvem novos tipos de relação, ampliando suas formas de conhecimento do mundo. Este artigo aborda, a partir do pensamento de Santo Tomás de Aquino, o conceito de natureza humana. Para nossa pesquisa, usamos o método analítico, o poder de síntese e de argumentação para explicar a natureza humana com seus comportamentos e percepções; Tomás afirma que é próprio da natureza humana agir corretamente com o fim de alcançar a felicidade como bem maior. Apesar disso, a sociedade evolui mais rapidamente e injustiças e desigualdades sociais, inevitavelmente, aparecem. Desejando que suas vidas sejam boas e felizes, e não alcançando tal fim com facilidade, as pessoas se deprimem. Isto nos faz assumir a posição de que, em uma sociedade organizada, as pessoas tendem a agir corretamente, quando baseadas em leis e regras claras, e, com isso, conseguem ser mais organizadas e eficientes em suas ações. E isso torna-se a base para a construção de uma sociedade melhor no Vietnã.
