What I have seen in all my experiences is that the values of kindness, generosity, honesty, empathy, friendship, patience, forgiveness, balance, cooperation, community are shared around the world, and are universal values. Everyone prefers to be smiled at rather than scowled at. Everyone prefers a handshake to a punch in the face. Everyone prefers a hug to a kick in the gut. Everyone prefers to be spoken to gently rather than shouted at. These actions are universally loved and desired.
