'''Values''' are meta-qualities or [[belief|beliefs]] referred to in describing a particular action, in determining whether an action is "good," or "bad." A subject of debate in the [[culture war|culture wars]] 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|Conservatives]] tend to adhere to a very value-based creed. Conservative discourse - such as, reference to "value voters" - reflects this alignment.
