Together, these seven values provide a reliable, universal, and organic foundation for making moral decisions among the many options that life offers us in every social situation. Together, they provide a holism to the continuum of life and living where one value does not exist in isolation by itself but is synergistically related to the other values.  They become, then, central to a code of decision-making that supports improvement of the social sustainability in all relationships from the level of intra-personal to the relationship of nations.  Because of that, they will become the central organizing elements for any community or nation to extend its social and moral existence into the realm of centuries and millennia. 

What is remarkable about these seven values is that together they constitute an organic “code of decision-making” that will produce consistent results regardless of the culture in which it is used.  Such a code makes eminent sense because its values are timeless and universal to all people.

In the social context, when these values are embedded socially, politically, and economically, public decision-making becomes the operational bridge linking individuals as social assets in a symbiotic relationship with society.  Social, political, and economic option-development, choice-making, decision-making, and action-implementation then set the stage to develop the untapped potential of millions of citizens as a “natural resource” to create a qualitative, quality-value expansion of the nation’s economy. 

► Symbiotically, each individual is seen as a “social asset” whose contributions to society ensure that society becomes socially sustainable, and society’s contribution to the individual supports their growth to make that contribution. 

With a consistent, timeless, and universal set of values, decision-making that is based on these values is — 

●  Universally applicable to all people of every nation, culture, race, ethnicity, society, and gender;

●  As relevant and applicable 5,000 years from now as it is today;

●  An ideology that would be easily accepted by all people, without the implicit or explicit implication of a foreign agenda; 

●  A positive, constructive way of thinking, speaking, and acting by every individual at all levels of society or position of authority;

●  The hope of improved quality of social relations between individuals, organizations, and governments;

●  Easily understood and useful to almost anyone, literate or not;

●  Proactive to promote peace, social stability, and the social evolution of individuals, families, communities, societies, and nations to become socially sustainable.
