  Faktablad - Democracy and Fundamental Values
Working with fundamental values is a continually ongoing process that covers all situations in the school: teaching, breaks, the hallways between classes, the staff room, and the meeting between staff and students.
Fundamental values are to a large degree a matter of education.
value of all people, equality between women and men and solidarity with the weak and vulnerable are all values that the school shall represent and impart.

This exact value for the Planck constant would be the consequence of the definition of the kilogram, just as the exact value of the speed of light is a consequence of the definition of the meter.
Examples of input data are the measured value of the anomalous magnetic moment of the electron, measured values of transition frequencies in hydrogen, ratios of magnetic moments of various particles, ratios of masses of various atoms, neutron diffraction data, and silicon lattice-spacing data.
As described in box 2, the value of the fine-structure constant is most strongly determined by comparison of theory and experiment for the electron anomalous magnetic moment, and the theoretical expression, in turn, is determined by high-order QED calculations.

 POLICY RESPONSES TO VIOLENCE IN OUR SCHOOLS: AN EXPLORATION OF SECURITY AS A FUNDAMENTAL VALUE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
It is the thesis of this paper that the pervasiveness of the policy response to drugs, weapons, and violence has signaled the emergence of a new fundamental value in educational policy making—security.
If security is emerging as a fundamental value in educational policy making, there should be evidence of a rising concern about the issue of security.
Fundamental values are generally reflected through budgetary decisions.

The Center for Academic Integrity (CAI) defines academic integrity as a commitment, even in the face of adversity, to five fundamental values: honesty, trust, fairness, respect, and responsibility.
From these values flow principles of behavior that enable academic communities to translate ideals to action.

Core values are fundamental to the well being of humanity as a whole.
Such values transcend the uniqueness of humanity's richly diverse cultural, philosophical, and social heritage and form the bedrock on which to build not only friendly international relations but also mutual benefit in one-on-one interactions.
Since values are interconnected, these 12 values are meant to serve as guiding values for further exploration of these and all other values.

However, it did so in the face of what it called “fundamental principles” including “the right to sue and defend in the courts,” which “in an organized society is the right conservative of all other rights, and lies at the foundation of orderly government.” The Court recognized that access to justice is a fundamental right.
Explicitly recognized to be of this “fundamental nature” and therefore made immune from state invasion by the Fourteenth, or some part of it, are the First Amendment’s freedom of speech, press, religion, assembly, association, and petition for redress of grievances.
The Court explained the fundamental essentiality of requirements of notice and opportunities to be heard, not only because it is a fair process of decisionmaking, but because “fairness can rarely be obtained by secret, one-sided determination of facts, decisive of rights.

 Encyclopedia of World Problems and Human Potential Project: 3.5 Method: response to diversity
Clearly the methods which are useful in the study of 5 to 10 units, the resulting conclusions, and the manner of their presentation, might have to be modified if it were considered admissible to focus on up to 100, or up to 1,000, or up to 10,000 units.
Since the results and the value of studies of 5 to 10 major units have been, and continue to be, extensively explored (with questionable improvement in the ability of society to control itself), it may prove useful to give attention to a somewhat different approach.
Such devices are the channels through which individuals participate in society, refine definitions of values, and mould the direction of development.

 Human Values as Strange Attractors: Coevolution of classes of governance principles
Value relativism is even advocated as a valuable advance over the constraints of traditional value patterns.
These value terms are however readily deconstructed into a referential void that is characteristic of this class and the (entropic) pull that it exerts on the constructions of other classes (n).
They can be confused with more familiar values in other classes through a failure to recognize their originality and as such run the danger of being coopted under the frameworks of those other classes.

Those values were not based or related to feudalism or capitalism, nor in the Nineteenth Century, change from a largely agricultural society to an expanding industrial one.
Although the 20th Century changed factually, and the fundamental constitutional values were generally unaltered, judicial constitutional interpretations were largely protective of the rich and powerful.
Originalism in constitutional theory is a form of legal fundamentalism that denies the legitimacy of changing constitutional meanings and thus resists any conception of a "living Constitution." Because originalism has been one of America's powerful forms of cultural legitimization, it has constantly threatened to bring constitutional change to a halt.

 Fundamental Principles of Academic Integrity   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Yet it is so axiomatic to the work of higher education that for many institutions, the meaning and definition of academic integrity literally go without saying: they simply state that “academic integrity is essential to the educational mission of the university” and go on to other policy and procedural matters.
We define academic integrity in terms of a commitment to five fundamental values and to the principles that flow from those values.
The five values provide reasons and motives for actions; the corresponding principles provide specific ways in which those five values can be translated into action.

 Active Citizenship - Civic Values
Civic values are the principles that guide both the government and the public life of the people.
Significant contributions in the articulation of civic values came from the Enlightenment philosophers in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
It does remain, however, vitally important to affirm a common core of civic values that are 'American' and 'democratic.' Teaching the shared values and responsibilities of citizenship is central to the mission of the public schools in every generation.

 Human Rights [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
Morality is fundamentally concerned with what ought to be the case, and this cannot be settled by appeals to what is the case, or is perceived to be the case.
The adequate protection of each individual's fundamental interests necessitates the establishment of a co-operative system, the fundamental aim of which is not to promote the common good, but the protection and promotion of individuals' self-interest.
For example, combining the appeal to fundamental interests with the aspiration of securing the conditions for each individual leading a minimally good life would be complicated by social and cultural diversity.

 Naturla Law   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Natural law theorists include the biological values of life and procreation and the humanistic values of knowledge and sociability in the framework of natural law ethics.
Since natural law stipulates that no fundamental values be directly violated a dilemma may exist when a person is faced with taking an action in a situation that seems to force the violation of some natural law ethic regardless of the action taken.
If the action is in accord with the fundamental values, or if it is not in accord but it is excused by one of the qualifying principles, the action is morally obligatory.

These values are expressed in the Declaration of Independence, the United States Constitution and other significant documents, speeches, and writings of the nation.

Racial integration can only be realized if the various races have common fundamental values.

Efficient use of this working capital can generate real savings for companies, adding shareholder value in the short term and creating the conditions for profitable growth in the future.
No-one knows this better than the treasurer, who is in the front line of the current battle for yield on investments and the search for satisfactory credit facilities on the debt side of the equation.
Reengineering these processes both to speed the flow of working capital through the supply chain and to capture lasting efficiency savings is, these days, one of the treasurer’s most valuable roles.

A bunch of grapes is used to symbolise Non-violence, as the four values of Right Conduct, Peace, Truth and Love, collectively, when put into practice, will culminate in Non-violence, so this bunch of fruit is used to symbolise unity.
