Human values for a collective awareness in universities

Abstract

Values give meaning to life, which is why Tierno (1996) points out that “with them we grow to be multipliers of a new person”, otherwise it will generate a crisis of values in all settings, including the university. That said, the purpose of the study was to generate the theory of human values for a collective consciousness from the experience of key informants in the university environment. The interpretive paradigm was used with a grounded theory method (Strauss and Corbin 2002), symbolic interactionism school of thought, observation techniques and in-depth interviews with (5) members of the bioethics committee. How theorists are on the topic of values are Scheler (1874-1928), Tierno (1996), Kant (1724-1804) and Windelband (1848-1915), on the topic of collective consciousness there are Rabossi (1975) and Durkheim (1858- 1957) and, in bioethics Calenti (2011). As a result, the theory “Multidimensionality of values from the collective consciousness for universities” was created, based on concepts such as: human values from bioethical principles, from training in universities, from biopsychosocial, religious, cultural and legal recognition. home; the bioethics committee as responsible for compliance with human values in research, the conception of collective consciousness from the social thinking of values in favor of social justice in the face of the crisis of human values. Its applicability in universities is recommended to strengthen human values from the collective conscience in tune with the training needs and the creation of a new society.
