When we speak about people and their social and cultural behaviours, we need to analyze the underlying values.
In English, „value” has its root in past participle of Lat. „Valare” with the meaning of being healthy, strong, of worth („Vale !” was a common greeting for romans). „But where do values come from? Values spring from worldviews. To effectively work with values means understanding worldviews – how people think, and why people adopt specific values.”
