So that we can see if basic ideals differ in various parts of the world, it would be helpful
to know where you are from, and a few other demographic details...
If you are part of a group that was invited to participate in this survey,
please fill in the code that was provided to you. (Otherwise leave it blank).
For each question below, indicate whether you agree with the ideal ("support"), whether you prefer
the opposite ("oppose"), or something in between ("unsure or indifferent"). Also indicate how
important you think the ideal is (high, medium, or low) as compared to the other ideals in the
list. To get a more detailed description of any ideal, click it's title in the first column.
Topic Ideal state Your opinion Importance
Sustainable Ecology I wish to live in a world where the ecology is sustainable forever.
Disaster Relief In my ideal world, people will help me when I need it and I will help others.
Knowledge; truth In my ideal world, correct information will be readily available to all those who can be
trusted to use it for good rather than evil.
Kindness I wish that others would always be kind to me. I value other people and animals who are
kind to me and I have their best interests at heart.
Healthy Body In my ideal world, all people will live a healthy and long life, free of
pain and suffering insofar as possible.
Healthy Mind I want to have a healthy mind, and to be surrounded by people who also
choose to preserve their sanity.
Friendship I wish to have one or more good friends or companions. I wish to live
in a world where each person can find a friend who shares their interests and values.
Family I wish to have a loving family, where the parents will love the
children always and care for them as long as they need it, and where
the parents are committed to stay together always in love and friendship.
This ideal applies to my family that I was born into as well as a family
that I may create as an adult.
Defence; courage
I wish to live in a world where I am not at risk of being intimidated, hurt
or killed by others. In the event that there exist any persons or animals
that thrive by preying on people, in my ideal world the people will
cooperate to prevent those individuals from harming others.
Beauty and Music In my ideal world, everyone shall have the opportunity to enjoy places
of beauty, music, or quietness according to their preferences, while
taking care not to interfere with the differing preferences of others.
Physical Maintenance and Fitness
In my ideal world, each person shall have the opportunity to do those
things that keep their body well maintained and fit, such as to have
sufficient exercise, rest, and sleep, to consume a nutritious diet,
and to expend energy in a safe and enjoyable means as they wish
Industriousness I wish to live in a world every person can fulfil their potential to achieve
things of value to themselves and other people; no adult shall be denied the
opportunity to work in an effective way to satisfy their needs for food,
clothing, and a comfortable environment in which to work and rest.
Fairness
I wish to live in a world in which the rewards of each persons' efforts
are distributed fairly, according to agreed upon standards, and nobody
is arbitrarily denied benefits offered to others in their society.
