Abstract

To avoid the confusion that might be generated by the existence of a variety of levels of values, objectives and facts (see Falise, 1985), the following differentiations and definitions might be helpful:

  1. Level 1:

    What should be: sphere of values, ideals, perfection (abstract, hardly or not be reached)

  2. Level 2:

    What is: sphere of reality, imperfect actual world

  3. Level 3:

    What can be: sphere of objectives, politics (concrete, to be reached by education, codes of ethics, etc.)

  4. Level 4:

    What may be: decline of morale, increasing scandals
