If we really want a better, fairer, more benign for all, we can not sit around waiting for manna falling from Heaven. We choose to opt for having a pro-social attitude, today, now here. We can not stay in the complaint or take sterile the blame on the ruling class. To make a change, what better to start with ourselves, to clean the garden of our own home? And the funny thing is that the neighbors look at our garden and do not want to be unless we .... also cleaned and your neighbor will do the same because they want to be unless he ...
A pro-social attitude is learned and taught time. This attitude is underpinned by universal values \u200b\u200b . That are universal means they are valid for all and beyond any political partisanship, religious, racial etc. Here comes an example: In the wake of the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Birth of Brahma Kumaris UN Foundation in 1996 published a booklet to work on these values \u200b\u200band titled "Living Values, a practical guide" The 12 values \u200b\u200bthat they make are: Love, Cooperation , Happiness, Honesty, Humility, Freedom, Peace, Respect, Responsibility, Simplicity, Tolerance and Unity.
This publication became part CVMM Project: "Sharing our values \u200b\u200bto create a better world." The objectives were to: 1 - Sensitize the people (children and adults) about the existence of a higher order of values \u200b\u200b 2 - Creating a safe environment for people to explore and express these values, 3 - offer methods and techniques, 4 - become more aware of the importance of self-development of people at both individual and community level. This is done in the form of workshops, courses, discussion groups, etc.

The first models are our parents, then the rest of the family, then the school: teachers, peer groups etc .... In short, our environment.
Albert Bandura one of the leading exponents of these theories, points out 3 types of environment: the tax, the chosen and constructed. The family enters the first group. Peer group in the second.
