National values

The orientation and judgment of the relationship between different value domains is an important dimension of people's values.

In the study of intercultural communication, scholars agree that culture is a crucial issue, which can be said to be the core of intercultural communication.Michael Prosser describes values in this way: "Values are the patterns that individuals or groups are constituted of, primarily through cultural interactions. They are the deepest culture, and we think that all people have values." Geert Hofstede's definition is succinct: values are "the general tendency to prefer one state of affairs over another." According to Clyde Kluckhohn, values are "an explicit or implicit conception of what is considered desirable that characterizes an individual or a group and that influences the choices that people make from among the various modes, ways, and purposes of action that are available to them." According to Samovar and Porter: Values are usually prescriptive admonitions about what is good and bad, right and wrong, true and false, positive and negative.
