Keywords: values; value system; culture; axiology
Summary/Abstract: Value science is called axiology. Values are also dealt with in the philosophy of culture, cultural studies, anthropology, psychology, sociology and folk psychology. For some, they are attitudes, beliefs, and for others - models of behavior, cultural patterns, orientation of interests and desires, etc. Many contemporary anthropologists, sociologists, and other humanities scholars use the term cultures instead of values. The Dutch anthropologist Heert Hofstede introduces five basic cultural dimensions that characterize a society. They are: crops with a long and close distance to power; collectivist and indi-vidualistic cultures; cultures with masculine and feminine values; crops with a strong and weak expres-sion of future anxiety and long- and short-term oriented crops.
