Moral values are integral to civilized societies and distinguish humans from animals. Values determine what is right and wrong, and ethics is behaving consistently with right and wrong. People develop values at different stages - initially from parents, then peers, and ultimately personal awareness of fairness. Some key moral values include sincerity, honesty, respect, courage, and loyalty. Adhering strictly to these values could help humanity coexist peacefully and prosper, though creating a just society from nothing requires great effort.
