I believe culture does fill our lives with wonderful things while integration of cultural values is not always by choice or by recognition of its value. Most often, values are integrated into our lives without recognition by following customs that give meaning to our actions and behavior. Moreover, the recognition of these complex values is an evolutionary process…

Tremblay, explores restrictions of the constricting values of 1960’s Quebec on women. This play has been translated into 20 languages, allowing it to be performed all over the world (larevolutiontranquille). This play’s success lies in its relatability.

Although my values are different, they help me guide me everyday life decisions. For some values may not be as important…

person by what he says about others than you can by what others say about him.” This quote by Audrey Hepburn adds truth to the idea that an individual can reveal what they believe to be valuable qualities in a member of society through their judgements of their peers; if they say a person spending all day sleeping on a couch is good member of society, then you know that that individual values selfishness and unproductiveness over the opposite.
