A value is a combination of worthy thought, feelings and behaviour imbibed by an individual for it own sake. Personal preferred value may change from person to person depending on his or her mind philosophically shaped by the family, peer group or local culture. However, a universal value is one which has the same worth for all humans cutting across their cultural diversity, says Dr Lalit Kishore, the author of the book "Value-Oriented Education: Foundations and Frontiers - A Worldview" [1]. The book has been listed as a reference material for research in the area of value education.
A universal value is often held explicitly in consciousness and expressed through behaviour by most people globally such as orderliness, cleanliness, care, conformity, security, kindness, peace, self-direction or self-discipline, self-respect, creativity, freedom, honesty, friendship, spirituality etc.
