	20th WCP: The Contemporary Conflict of Values
		The plurality and relativity of values is the primary cause of contemporary conflicts.
		The traditional conflict of morality occurred mainly in the process of choosing and deciding how to act, people's ideas of value about what were good or evil usually were clear and definite, while the contemporary conflict of values occurs not only in the process of choice and decision, but also in the depth of ideology.
		Traditional order was a unified and static order, in which individuals had no freedom, society lacked vigor, and social order and equilibrium was very fragile because society was excessively unified and social relations were over-tight, so society would fall into turbulence if a contradiction or conflict occurred at some link of the tight relations.

	Traditional values - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Traditional values refer to those beliefs, moral codes, and mores that are passed down from generation to generation within a culture, subculture or community.
		However "family Values" is arguably a modern politicized subset of traditional values, which is a larger concept, anthropologically speaking.
		It can mean the actual values that are claimed or perceived to have remained relatively unchanged for centuries, for example the values in the Apostles' Creed, the preservation of the Coptic language in Coptic Christianity, the values in the Hadith, or certain rites in Orthodox Judaism.

	How Cultural Are Personal Values
		Patriotism is one of the core traditional values and there is an obvious link between it, military might and popular willingness to sustain large defence budgets.
		The first is that the values gap may be widening a little, and starting to affect perceptions of foreign-policy interest on which the transatlantic alliance is based.
		And those whose values differ from the mainstream seek to impose their choices through persuasion, bullying, and sometimes, outright force via the political process, usually by arguing that some choices are simply ugly, offensive, or beyond the bounds of the acceptable.

	Human Values, Morals, Emotions and Motivation by Steve Hinrichs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Since purpose or values cannot ultimately be derived from the natural world, if there is a non-arbitrary fundamental basis for human values; thus, morals, then there must be some intelligence in the past that had a plan in mind for humans in the future which the present and today's future now exist within.
		The more generally accepted a value and the more it relates to maintaining a system that allows for people to pursue their own values the more reason laws should be made to protect that value.
		For example, the right to live is a most generally accepted value that is important for maintaining a system that allows for people to pursue their own values; thus, laws should be made that protect people from being killed.

	About those traditional values - Jun. 02, 2004 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		I wanted to explain that a value like "pakikisama" [cooperativeness] can be positive in a particular situation, such as when a neighbor faces a crisis and calls for help, and negative in other contexts, such as when it leads to cronyism and corruption in government.
		I share Kotter's view that values and values change are important, but that it is dangerous to think that this should be the first step in transforming organizations, much less countries.
		Values are part of culture, and cultures are notoriously difficult to change, not because the beliefs and practices come with our genes but because they have been shaped over time, hammered into our collective psyches.

	The Dilbert Blog: Traditional Values (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The term "traditional values" is most often used by those people seeking to justify some aspect of their thinking or their behavior that they really don't want to change, but also don't want to fully accept responsibility for.
		Traditional things are, as was mentioned, things that have been picked up and formed over time, but as wasn't mentioned, not only does this represent the taste of people, who are generally stupid, ignorant creatures, but old people.
		Traditional values are those that have withstood the test of time (not mere decades) and still stand, such as Biblical truths.

	deseretnews.com \| U.S. traditional, survival values are shifting
		One is a move from traditional values, like the importance of religion and respect for authority, family and nation, to what are termed secular-rational values, like personal autonomy, political independence and ethical relativism on matters like abortion, divorce and euthanasia.
		The other dimension is a shift from survival values, like assuring material well-being and physical safety, acceptance of hardship, political caution and wariness toward outsiders, to self-expression values, like political activism, personal fulfillment, intellectual and spiritual exploration and tolerance of outsiders and cultural diversity.
		Not only do "Americans have some of the highest levels of religious beliefs, conservative family values, absolute moral standards, national pride and other traditional values," but these remained essentially constant from 1981 to 2000, while they continued to be abandoned in nations otherwise resembling the United States.

	Family Values, Race, Feminism, and Public Policy
		Since the blame for these problems has been placed on "the breakdown of the traditional family," it is not surprising that many people have concluded that the logical solution to the problem is the reunification of the traditional family structure.
		Although traditional formal marriage and the ideal of the nuclear family is promoted in the rhetoric of family values, historically, the extent to which this society has valued formal marriage has not been governed by some consistent standard that has equally supported the nuclear family structure throughout society.
		Thus, while the family values rhetoric demonizes fl mothers, it ignores the challenges these mothers meet on a daily basis to instill values of pride and self-esteem that are as important to their children's survival as any other values assumed to enjoy widespread acceptance.

		Traditional values are not simply "the ideals upon which America was founded," although when America was founded, each item in the above list was prominently present.
		To define the underlying philosophy behind traditional values would no doubt prove illusive, but it seems to me, to believe in traditional values is to believe in the existence of an absolute standard.
		Those who hold to traditional values believe in the sanctity of human life; abortion, euthanasia, infanticide, and genocide are definitely wrong.

	Traditional values - Page 2 - Alternate History Discussion Board
		I agree that values are often honoured more in the breach than in the observance, but they still exist as ideals, and they were different in the past than they are today (next question - what are modern values?).
		If by "traditional values", you mean the actual values of people in past times, that's an unhelpful definition, because, on the one hand, values differered from person to person, and on the other, "past times" covers everything from stone-age cannibals to Thatcherite yuppies.
		I think the "traditional values" I described are the values that British culture idealised prior to their being replaced by the current set of values, whatever they are.

	New Labour's plans to teach kids "traditional" values
		To suggest that there are uniform values for the 60 million inhabitants of a nation as diverse as Britain is as ridiculous as implying that these values set us apart from other people and nations.
		What is considered a "value" by, say, a trade union member will not be shared by her boss nor will the sexist have the same set of "values" as a feminist.
		That these official "values" apparently include the tradition of free speech and the view that Britain was founded on freedom and democracy should present New Labour with an interesting challenge.

	CNN.com - Bush strategy puts high value on values - Aug 28, 2004
		Emphasizing values, closely associated in GOP dogma with preserving the traditional family and conservative mores, has been integral to the party's identity and success for decades.
		"Values" first became central to the American political vernacular in the late 1960s, when President Richard Nixon and supporters began using the term to build a contrast between free-love, antiwar groups and middle-of-the-road Americans, said Nunberg, author of "Going Nucular: Language, Politics, and Culture in Controversial Times".
		The most significant aspect of the values debate may be how the discussion reflects personally on a candidate -- what he believes and who he really is, as much as what he has done.
