ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Value (personal and cultural)

Value is like a target that we try to reach. It is something that we think is important or worthwhile in our lives. It can be individual, or it can be shared across a culture or a group of people.

Individual values are things that are important to us personally like kindness or honesty. Cultural values are values that a group of people or a whole culture agrees is important, like freedom or respect. These values can be similar or different between different individuals and cultures.
