## Definition Universal values are moral principles that are considered to be fundamental and widely accepted across different cultures and societies. These values may include concepts such as justice, equality, human rights, respect for others, and the rule of law. The idea of universal values is often used in discussions about ethical and moral frameworks for global governance, human rights, and international relations. Some critics argue that the concept of universal values is problematic because it can be used to justify cultural imperialism and the imposition of Western values on other societies. ## Examples - Be kind, compassionate and generous.
