UNIVERSAL VALUES

Before going fully into the in-depth analysis of the term universal values, it is important that we establish the etymological origin of the two words that shape it:
• Value, comes from Latin and more specifically from the word “valere”, which can be translated as "be strong".
• Universal, for its part, also emanates from Latin. More exactly we can establish that it comes from the word "universalis", which is equivalent to "belonging to the universe".

Universal values

A value is a quality that gives people, things or facts an estimate . The term is used to name the moral characteristics that are inherent in a subject ( piety , responsibility , etc.).

Universal , on the other hand, is an adjective that is linked to what belongs to or relative to the universe. The concept refers to the set of all created things and that which is common to all of its kind.

These two definitions allow us to get closer to the notion of universal value . Universal values ​​are formed by the implicit norms of behavior that are necessary to live in a harmonious and peaceful society.

It is an idea that is difficult to define, since a value is associated with morality and ethics , which is difficult to transfer to a group level. In other words: all people have certain values ​​that arise from within and that guide their actions. Since not all human beings think in the same way, the values ​​of one individual may differ from the values ​​of the other. Universal values, on the other hand, have the particularity of being shared at the social level.

Cultural differences aside, it can be said that kindness, solidarity and honesty are desired virtues in any country or region. They are, therefore, universal values.

In addition to those exposed, other values ​​of an ethical and civic nature are considered as universal values, such as the following:
• Modesty, which is the one possessed by people who do not show off their successes, their qualities or their triumphs. It is considered that, in this way, they do not harm others by making them feel inferior.
• Prudence. Another of the most important universal values ​​is this one, which is the one that individuals have who always carry out their actions based on reason, and not being carried away by impulses. In addition to all this, it is considered that prudence is what should direct the rest of the values.
• Responsibility. No less significant within the set of universal values ​​is this, which is considered to be the virtue possessed by those who are capable of making important decisions for themselves and for the rest of the people around them. Specifically, what they will do is coordinate, direct and direct activities with reasons, seriousness and commitment.

Loyalty or strength are also another of the universal values ​​that are considered essential in any human being.

Universal values ​​are acquired with family education and at school , since the socialization process implies that the new generations internalize timeless concepts.

ZIP

Zip is a concept that is used in computing  to name certain storage formats, whether physical or virtual. At the software  level , zip is used to understand data (text documents, images, programs, etc.) without loss of quality. The format (whose extension is . zip ) is used by various programs , both commercial and free. Its creator, the programmer Phil Katz (founder of PKWARE ), had to face a lawsuit for the violation of copyright in the development of the format. The zip uses various compression algorithms and supports an encryption system that is based on a unique key. Critics consider this encryption to be weak and vulnerable to different types of cyber attacks. Among the methods of understanding used by zip, they are the contraction ( shrinking ), the reduction ( reducing ) and implosion ( imploding ). Why do some users prefer RAR? Zip is often compared to rar, and there are various approaches, ranging from simple matters of taste to in-depth analysis to find the best co...

VASSAL

Vassal is the one who, in ancient times, was obliged to pay fiefdom . It was the subject of a sovereign or any other type of supreme government , and it was linked to some lord (noble) through a bond of vassalage. The concept is typical of feudalism , a system of social organization that prevailed in western Europe between the 9th and 15th centuries . This society was based on the cultivation of the land by the serfs or vassals, who had to deliver part of their production to the lord (who, in turn, was loyal to a king). The vassal was the man who requested protection from a nobleman of superior rank (from the point of view of the social hierarchy) and who swore allegiance to him on his behalf. Both established a vassalage contract that implied mutual obligations. The lord granted the usufruct of a fief to the vassal, who administered it and took advantage of his income, although without having the property. The lord received part of the agricultural production in exch...

DISCRETE VARIABLE

The variables are symbols that can acquire different values and appear in formulas, algorithms, functions and propositions of mathematics and statistics. According to their particularities, they are classified differently. There are random variables , dependent variables , independent variables , variables qualitative , quantitative variables and continuous variables , among others. This time we will refer to the discrete variables . It is interesting to know the etymological origin of the two words that give shape to the term that now occupies us: -Variable derives from Latin, more precisely from “variabilis” which is the result of the sum of two elements of that language: the verb “variare ", Which can be translated as" change of appearance ", and the suffix" -able ", which is used to indicate" possibility ". -Discrete, on the other hand, also comes from Latin. In your case, it is the result of the union of two other components: th...
