Values to me are lessons, assumptions, ideals, expectations, and models that are used to give meaning to life. Nietzsche once pointed out that it's not about how right or wrong values are, but rather it's about the choosing. The Chinese and the English seem to have theirs like http://www.theguardian.c...es-drunkenness-loathing and http://www.theguardian.c...in-university-education
Americans too have theirs. What are Kenyan values? How did we arrive at these values? What lives do they create for us?

Everything is about the monetary value,Even the Tycho's "Values" are defined by the monetary worth! If Obiero did it, Who Am I?

Then if you're to consider my values you'd have to ask not assume or impose yours.

Wealthy countries/societies or people have different values from the poorer;As we climbe the economic ladders we tend to change/adapt our values to reflect our economic status If Obiero did it, Who Am I?

Do we have any evidence for this? This fact has been deduced from a simple observation of people's ethics which changes as their economic status changes.Look at some of our Mpigs who a few years ago,we thought they would be the best leaders if given an opportunity,but once they got elected, their ethics totally changed.I have also observed that the wealthy guys are not remorsefuland do not have qualms after stealing unlike the poor guys. But to answer your question,The Kenyan values is MONEY! If Obiero did it, Who Am I?
