Underpinning Societal And Personal Values?

[Theland]

What do you believe underpins western societal values?
Whatever it is, if anything, is it the same as underpins your own personal values?

[sandyRoe]

Democracy, free speech, and liberalism with a small ,'l'.

[wolf63]

Do unto others ...

[SparklyKid]

Not behaving like rutting stags,lol.

[Zacs-Master]

Commerce.

[Theland]

Thank you but so far nothing convinces me.
What is the next level of underpinning?
What are the things you suggested based on?

[jackthehat]

Is this your 'From where do you get your morals?' question gussied up in dufferent clothes?

[Spicerack]

Christianity?

[jackthehat]

*sigh.....
different

[Spicerack]

I had a duffel coat, jack.

[wolf63]

underpinnings to me - my 48F bra and big knickers.

[kvalidir]

Democracy and freedom of speech which is allied to my own personal non religious moral code.

[Theland]

"Sigh, bored, oh no not im again"
Yeah I get it!
Too important and busy and intellectual to actually think!
We'll never mind.
I asked the question.
Now let's get back to, "guess what I'm holding in my hand!"
Probably more suitable.
Try one yourself maybe? Or not!

[Theland]

Kval - Thanks for respectfully trying .

[kvalidir]

Yay, me and Sandy Roe for President :) x

[Theland]

This thread is dead in the water as I expected.
All go back to Baldrics au pair.

[nailit]

Go on then Theland….
tell us where YOUR societal values come from.

[rowanwitch]

My values come from watching the world work and deciding which bits are ethically acceptable and which are not. UK Society seems to be underpinned by the irrelevant relics of a Christian religious structure. Others by whatever religion was holding the reins at the time the society moved to the large community/ tribal stage.

[Theland]

Nailit - I asked for YOURS!

[Theland]

Rowanwitch - You mentioned ethics.
What do you mean?
What gives them value for YOU?
