1. UNIVERSAL VALUES and HUMAN SURVIVAL REPORT OF GROUP 6

2. LEARNING OUTCOMES: At the end of the lesson, you are expected to: 1. understand the ideas of universal values; 2. determine the process on the uncovering of the universal values; and 3. value the importance of universal values.

3. The phrase "value" refers to something that a person or a community considers is valuable enough to be pursued, promoted, or favoured. This can be a physical object (money, food, art), a mental state (peace, security, certainty),or a behavior resulting from such objects or mental states (protecting innocents, telling the truth, being creative).

4. Universal or Core Ethical Values

5. 1. Trustworthiness Honesty, integrity, reliability, and loyalty are some of the behavioral attributes that are associated with trustworthiness. - Honesty Honesty is the most fundamental ethical value there is. Honesty is associated with honorable people, and we like and trust those who are truthful. Honesty in communications refers to the intention to communicate the truth as best we can and to avoid communicating in a way that is likely to deceive or mislead.

6. There are three dimensions to consider: - Truthfulness - Sincerity/non-deception - Honesty -Integrity An ethical individual makes the same decisions in every setting - at work and at home, in public and alone. The person of integrity devotes time to self-reflection so that the events, crises, and demands of the day do not dictate the moral trajectory of their lives. They maintain their dominance

7. The four adversaries of integrity are: • Self-interest — what we want • Self-protection — what we don't want • Self-deception — a reluctance to view a situation clearly • Self-righteousness — the idea that the end justifies the means. -Reliability When we make pledges or commitments to others, we have ethical obligations that go beyond legal requirements. Promise-keeping has an ethical dimension that requires us to make all reasonable attempts to honor our promises.

8. - Loyalty Loyalty is defined as the act of advocating and safeguarding the interests of a group of people, an organization, or a group of associations. There is an expectation of loyalty in some partnerships, such as husband-wife, employer-employee, and citizen-country. 2.Respect Respect is about valuing everyone's inherent value and dignity, including one's own. Regardless of who they are or what they have done, we have a moral obligation to treat them with respect.

9. 3. Responsibility There are numerous options available in life. Being responsible entails taking control of our decisions and, as a result, our life. It entails taking responsibility for what we do and who we are. It also entails accepting that our actions, as well as our inactions, have consequences. 4. Accountability An accountable person is not a victim, and he or she does not transfer responsibility or take credit for others' labor.

10. Types of accountability - Pursuit of Excellence - Diligence - Perseverance - Continuous Improvement - Self-Restraint 5) Fairness - is a difficult idea to grasp. Disagreeing parties tend to believe that only one position is correct: their own. While certain situations and judgments are unquestionably unjust, fairness usually refers to a range of morally defensible outcomes rather than the discovery of a single fair one.

11. 6) Caring - is at the heart of ethical behavior. It's difficult to be completely ethical while being unconcerned about the welfare of others. That's because, at the end of the day, ethics is about our obligations to others. 7) Citizenship - the concept of citizenship encompasses how we should act as members of a community. The good citizen not only knows and obeys the laws, but also volunteers and keeps up with current events.

12. Universal Values are necessary for human survival Values that are universal are clear that we need for us human beings to survive because it informs us our thoughts, actions, and words. Universal values are helping us to grow our everyday as a dignified person. -Individual values -Relationship values -Organizational values Societal values
