| I think there are some universal values which we can all agree upon which have nothing to do with religion, and everything to do with what it means to be a decent respectful human being.
In terms of who decides, I guess there would be values which are culture specific. But I'm talking about universals. Such values would include, empathy, compassion, kindness, generosity, a sense of morality.
Do you think these things should be part of the definition of an educated person?
In my own definition, an educated person is someone who is both cognitively and affectively developed.
