Summary/Abstract: Universal, a concept describing a point of view about the state of things, is, first of all, related to values. The values themselves are ideas taken over by as wide as possible human groups: ideas which thus are criteria for other appreciations and actions. And because the coherence of the human society requires the assumption of common criteria, they are created and moved so that they are taken over by as many people as possible. Thus, values are universal: certainly, in different degrees according to the size of social groups taking them over. This is the reason of the important activity of humans to educate, form, and influence their species fellows according to some ideas which they consider values.
