i see, so my values would be non-traditional then? or is there another name for my values?

That would really depend on what your values are ...

 

 

im a liberal atheist, im pro-choice, anti-war (in most cases), pro-euthanasia, pro-legalisation of less dangerous drugs, socialist

 

 

That defines your affiliations and your political positions, but doesn’t really say anything about your values.

 

freedom, equality, peace

 

These are now values, but they're so vague they are the same values that everyone will lay claim to ...

For example, when you talk about equality are you referring to 'equality of opportunity' or 'equality of outcome'? Someone (like myself) who values 'equality of opportunity' would say that all women who want it should be allowed to try to become firefighters (and unfair criteria should be eliminated), while someone who believed in 'equality of outcome' would want the criteria to be adjusted so that you had a representative number of female firefighters.

 

 

i believe that people should be treated equally regardless of race, gender, sexuality, etc, so if people apply for a job, the only factor in wether or not they get it should be how good they are/would be at it.
