"The social organization consists of a single interconnected fabric. The threads and the weave of the fabric are formed by the multidimensional interaction of social activities, organizations, institutions and values."

III. Society's Values Categorized by Spiritual Powers Here is another view of many of the above values, categorized by fundamental spiritual powers of existence. (Some values appear in more than one category. Others that are listed once may also deserve to be related to another category to some degree.) Let us say that a collective - e.g. a family, a community, an organization, a state, nation, culture, or society overall - becomes aware that one of these aspects are seriously lacking; such as a deficient sense of Oneness in that collective. An effort can then be made to understand, appreciate, focus on, and implement a handful of the values that fall under that spiritual power. (In this case implement cooperation, coordination, consensus, etc. under the spiritual principle/category of Oneness). Oneness All for One; One for All Benefits to All Collaboration Collective, Needs of the Common Purpose Communication Community Concern for others Consensus Consumer Rights Cooperation Coordination, Integration Diplomacy (over Confrontation) Equality Fairness Family Family Values-honor parents, Nurture children, etc. Fraternity Global View Harmony Integration Neighborliness Oneness of purpose Organization Popular Will (deferring to) Diplomacy (over confrontation) Regulation & Control Respect for Others (individuals, cultures, races) Service (to others, society) Spirituality, Spirit Teamwork Unity World Unity
