Talk Human

There is hardly any area of life in which we do not stumble over values. They may guide our thinking about what is ethically and morally “right” or “wrong” and serve as a compass for what is most important to us in life. On the grand stage, we encounter - for example - human values, political values, and religious values. Companies aim to set themselves apart from their competitors through organizational values. The communities we engage in, from our family to the local bowling club, each reflect their own set of values. Could it be that even this Meetup group is based on implicit values?

In this Meetup we talk about values. What are values to us? How much do they matter to us? (Why) do we need them? Who gets to define, shape and change them? How do we express them in everyday actions? Do they provide us with a sense of belonging and identity or do they simply impose norms and expectations on us?
