How much you should pay, so

you’d plastic surgical operation, where you will be built a few cents for him?You can wash your Finnish flag gas station toilet?You bark in public on the internet yourself important group of, say, its own gymnastics club and its members?Kick a puppy dog, hard?

These obnoxious issues are part of the test, which are measured values related taboos. There’s a theory (you move to another service) according to the basic values is five: care or protection, fairness, loyalty, authority, respect, holiness or purity.

Questions measured how strongly these fundamental values associated with taboos evoke resistance. It may be that something a list of things you wouldn’t do for any price. For most however, you can find any, even theoretical, amount. The sum of these differences by comparing the can be attributed to what the defendant to appreciate more and what less.

for Example, the Finnish flag desecration in the required amount can someone be bigger than the dog to kick. In this case, we consider that the defendant is the more important authority for valuation than care and protection. This does not mean that care would not be important to the defendant, but if I had to put the values in order, differences can be found.

the Other value of understanding and their interviews, their important things through not conformism or extradition. It is the recognition that the self does not necessarily know what another’s opinion is the most important thing.

value of the differences can be difficult to understand , because they are close to the personal preferences of the differences.

herring anger time there will be no fish friends by listening to arguments about how good an acidic broth with congealed fish rötkäle the taste. People experience of what is good or right is difficult to shape arguments, which are based on another different experience.

If your goal is to influence others, need to think about how you talk to your people to them, important values of the season. For example, it has been observed that in the us liberals consider care, protection and fairness are the values conservatives as the most important, and the conservatives keep their loyalty, authority and purity values as the most important. When, for example, the fight against climate change reasons ranked conservative ville, it is therefore smart to highlight the need to prevent domestic clean natural drained away … of. Liberal should this logic to highlight the need to reduce animal and human suffering and to protect biodiversity.

Finnish researchers (switch to another service) according to a similar divide is between liberals and conservatives in Finland, and slightly in the same direction are also found between left and right.

This divide became apparent in, for example, what the parties stressed the need for climate action. The coalition party (you move to another service) climate program highlights individuals and trader of freedom for the defense, the left alliance (you move to another service) in the program, in turn, inequality reduction and power structures lack of importance.

divide in concentration, however, can be harmful, if you should cooperate. If you divide divide the human forces, and a variety of values, understanding can be almost impossible, what to do when you should get all citizens to participate in? Say, the fight against climate change.

Perhaps one good way is to think about how a lot of completely opposite values of the people in reality is. The fact that someone appreciates the homeland or the freedom of individuals more than the natural protection does not mean that nature conservation should be to him indifferent. The fact that the second to appreciate the equality and nature conservation authorities to respect more does not mean that the homeland would be her one thing.

And if there is a need to get a large forces mobilized, the best would be to come up with arguments that speak to the same time all. Functioning is also present arguments that do not threaten other important values. Nature protection act, based solely on individual freedoms pruning is difficult to justify for people who consider freedom to be important.

the Other value of understanding and their interviews, their important things through not conformism or extradition. It is the recognition that the self does not necessarily know what another’s opinion is the most important thing. If, however, should collaborate, maybe sometimes it’s good to think about where all agree.

This column the date of publishing will mark 25 years of Finland’s EU referendum. Recently decided to join the ranks, which combined with similar values.

These EU values are:

the dignity of and respect for human rights,

freedom,

the people’s power,

equality and

the rule of law.

Many of these things is for us finns self-evident. On the world scale however, these are values for which many have still to fight, or one which is being put before the other, say, religious values. The value of live interaction. The values of the EU survival requires that they connect us to enough.

in the EU, and many EU within the country is happening at the moment distribution. In the united states the value of the difference of the cut by the division lines are so deep, that many said you don’t want to have anything to do with “the others” with.

When you focus on the value of the weighted differences go unnoticed that many people appreciate very much the same things. And can go unnoticed that they are self-evident, too, shared values have in the modern world still defense.
