“ Is there such thing as RIGHT, UNCHANGING and UNIVERSAL values? ”
Idealist Point of View
There are unchanging and universal values.
The values of love, care, and concern for our fellowmen are values for all people regardless of time and space.
These are called transcendent values
Relativist Point of View
Claim that there are no universal and unchanging values. They assert that values are dependent on time and place.

3 Dimensions of Values Cognitive Dimension - Mental understanding and readiness

Value formation is a training of the Intellect
and willYour intellect discerns a value and presents it to
the will as a right or wrong value.
Your will wills to act on the right value and wills to avoid the wrong value presented by your intellect.
As described by St. Thomas Aquinas,
“The intellect proposes and the will disposes”
It is clear that “nothing is willed unless it first known”. Thought must precede the deliberation of the will. An object is willed as it is known by the intellect and proposed to the will as desirable and good. Hence the “formal and adequate object of the will is good as apprehended by the intellect”, (William Kelly, 1965)
It is, therefore, necessary that you develop your intellect in its 3 functions namely:
Formation of ideas Judgment Reasoning
Virtuous versus vicious life and their affect on the will
