Captions available
The idea
Values are a culture's shared standards of what is desirable, good, and worth pursuing, supplying the criteria by which conduct is judged.
In practice
A society valuing independence builds housing, schooling, and retirement around people living separately.
Where people slip
Stated values and practiced values often diverge, and the gap is itself a finding.
