Kidder’s 5 Widely Shared Core Moral Values
Honesty, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Compassion
12 Primary Assumptions:
- I want to voice and act upon my values
- I have voiced my values at some point in my past
- I can voice my values more often and more effectively
- It is easier for me to voice my values in some contexts than others
- I am more likely to voice my values if I have practiced how to respond to frequently encountered conflicts
- My example is powerful
- Although mastering and delivering responses to frequently heard rationalizations can empower others who share my views to act, I cannot assume I know who those folks will be
- The better I know myself, the more I can prepare to play to my strengths and when necessary protect myself from my weaknesses
- I am not alone
- Although I may not always succeed, voicing and acting on my values is worth doing
- Voicing my values leads to better decisions
- The more I believe its possible to voice and act on my values, the more likely I will be to do so
