Human values are fundamental to the very core of our existence.  Communities and cultures are built on these values.  Without them even established societies will fall.  These values are not specific to any religion or race; country or community. Examples are Honesty, Integrity, Respect, Love, Compassion and Courage.

Here are some resources that may be of interest to both the seekers and preceptors of human values:
