Changes

'''Values''' are meta-qualities or [[belief]]s referred to in describing a particular action, in determining whether an action is "good," or "bad."  A subject of debate in the [[culture war]]s in America is whether values are ''subjective'' or ''objective'' - that is, whether they can change from person to person, or whether values are absolute qualities created and referenced by some non-human source like [[God]].

Modern [[Christians]] and other religious people believe that values are absolute, as commanded by God in the [[Ten Commandments]].  In this document, God created certain values which man must abide by, and by which human actions are judged.  For example, one absolute value referenced in this document is the [[sanctity of life]], embodied in, "thou shalt not kill."  [[Conservative]]s tend to adhere to a very value-based creed.  Conservative discourse – such as reference to "value voters" – reflects this alignment.

As [[Dennis Prager]] states, "Be Guided by Values not by Feelings." As the world continues to move more and more to the left people do more as they feel, then live by values.  

 

As [[Dennis Prager]] states, "Reason can lead people to all kinds of conclusions. For example, asked if he would kill a disabled baby, a distinguished professor of philosophy at Princeton University responded, “Yes, if that was in the best interests of the baby and of the family as a whole.” Can you offer a purely rational reason why the professor is wrong? The only reason I can offer is a belief that all human beings are created in God’s image and are therefore infinitely precious. But the preciousness of all human life is a belief, not an assertion of reason. The Greeks, the founders of Western reason, thought it quite reasonable to leave sickly babies to die of exposure. The baby would just be a burden on the parents and the state. It was faith-based Jerusalem, the other parent of Western civilization, not reason-based Athens, that taught the world to keep sickly babies alive." <ref>https://www.prageru.com/video/is-evil-rational/</ref>

As the world continues to move more and more to the left people tend to follow reason rather than live by values.
