4 Read the text and give names to each of its parts.
Human Values
Let’s look at human values as a scientist looks at the phenomenon he chose for studying. What do we mean by human values? First of all, this is something we appreciate and want to have or some aims we want to achieve.
Second, human values are an individual matter, because each person defines what is good and important and what is not. Though there are certain universal human values such as, for example, honesty, kindness, goodness, high moral principles, freedom, they don’t always mean one and the same thing to us. We often estimate differently the same things and actions.
What is good in one situation could be rather bad in some others. We all agree that people must not lie, lies are an evil thing, but we also know that the truth can sometimes kill a person. Thus, people often have to decide what to do or to say and this choice is not always easy and sometimes goes against their beliefs and principles.
Third, when we speak about human values, we usually do not include into this concept satisfaction of our physical needs. They are also important for us, often simply to be able to survive. But it would be fair to say that the concept of human values describes that part of our aims which are not immediately necessary for survival. We call these aspects of life spiritual, as opposed to the other aspects, which are referred to as physical or biological. Philosophy and religion traditionally work on the spiritual aspects of our life.
