Values System
From BDSM Wiki
A values system consists of a hierarchically-ordered, always open set of morals, ethics, standards, preferences, belief systems and world views that come together through self-organizing principles to define an individual, a group, or a culture. These values are considered complementary and integrated with one another.
Core Values is a narrow spectrum of the most enriched and treasured values and prescribe the attitude and character of an organization. These values often describe a code of conduct of an organization. The philosophical antecedent of these values is virtue ethics, which is often attributed to the definitions of ethics as proposed by Aristotle.
