International Values
Internationalism is a human endeavour requiring an open mind and high quality information
The use of information to understand the perspectives of others, through empathy, is one of the defining characteristics of humanity and civilization.

In order to map the values of the world, an understanding of the maps of history, society, politics, economics, science, art and culture must be grasped to a certain degree. To state that a person or a company has “international values” is therefore a bold claim, and cannot be made lightly or without reference to what those values are, where they originate from, their purpose and whether they are shared.
