Abstract

Since the death of Princess Diana and the victory of new Labour, a search for new values has begun. Tolerance, justice, compassion and community are words used more often in the late 1990s. But what are these values and how can they be practised in schools, home and the workplace? In this text the author spells out how everyone can take part in preserving people's dignity, caring for the environment and working for a more just and humane world. A world that starts in the local neighbourhood.
