today there's a huge diversity of values within the full population of citizens of our planet

almost every value issue can be viewed on a continuum

with two polar opposite ends

extreme stance points at either end

they have been given many names

conservative & liberal, left & right, right & wrong, etc.

we learned our values from our parents

from our churches, temples & worship groups

from our education & life experiences

from the news & media

from advertising & marketing campaigns

some values i'm sure are innate & ingrained in our dna

but mostly our values have been formed for us

and they change as we grow & age

just wait if you are younger

you will value things very differently later in life

there have been great value changes made through history too

new things emerge and we often value these more than the things of the past

but there are constants too

our values always impact our decision making & our prioritization of issues

so very important to establish common values before

imagining better solutions for creating a better world for all
