What are our values? How can we determine values?

 If you want your child to be fulfilled in life, the child has to be free enough to do that.  Therefore freedom is a value. You do not have very much freedom if there is no opportunity or prosperity.  Therefor opportunity and prosperity are progressive values.If you really care about your child, you want your child to be treated fairly by you and by others.  Therefore fairness is a value.If you are connecting with your child and you empathize with that child, you have open, two-way communication.  Honest communication.  That becomes a value. You live in a community, and that the community will affect how your child grows up.  Therefore, community building, service to the community, and cooperation in a community become values. To have cooperation, you must have trust, and to have trust you must have honesty and open two-way communication.  Trust, honesty, and open communication are fundamental progressive values–in a community as in a family.  Aren’t these the values that really make up family and community?  Aren’t these the values that made our nation great?  What do you think of these values?  Should others be prioritized?
