Tiny I was not thinking about a set of values which pertain to a specific area ie: the States. I was thinking more in the line of a world wide standard. I think thats what he's trying to get at. Could be wrong though.:)

I don't think we can talk about a world wide standard. It's not even remotely feasible. There are many areas of the world where people are not even literate let alone being able to go beyond that. Moreover, societies in different parts of the world have, historically, undergone a totally different process of evolution, so there simply cannot be a uniform set of core values which universally apply worldwide.
