Concepts Of Fidelity

I will try to define the relevant concepts used in this argument. As far I can understand there are four concepts that have a critical importance: “value”, “fact”, “value freedom” and “scientific process”. Close to them are other concepts that need to be clarified also, for instance “belief” and “norms”.
2.1 Values
The first and inevitable question is: what is a value? Let me start with what the Collins Dictionary1 says. It gives two alternatives which are relevant to the purpose of this work2: a) (value in singular) is the desirability of a thing, often with respect to any property, that makes that thing worthy or important; b) (values in plural) is a set of moral principles and beliefs, or accepted standards, of a person or social group.

Some people consider fidelity in marriage a cardinal value. But why is it a value to aim to? Several reasons may be given. For instance because The Bible says so, or because a successful marriage requires exclusive devotion to your mate, or the more prosaic reason to avoid risks of sexual diseases. Whatever you choose as a reason, to raise fidelity in marriage as a value, there is a conviction that fidelity has some properties that are important to you. In this sense our values reflects what we consider desirable, that is what we want to obtain. So if I want a successful marriage and I belief that exclusive devotion to my partner is an important component to achieve it I will raise fidelity in marriage as a value.
I used the word belief and it is important to understand that values and beliefs are not of the same kind. If I believe in my mind that Japan exists somewhere in the planet that is a belief but not a value. But if you wants to embrace Shintoism you do have to share same values. To participate in certain purification rites implies that you believe in the possibility to cleanse impurity through those rites and that purity is good for one 's own peace of mind and fortune. So values entails a belief but not all beliefs are

They are not. At a first glance can we say that values are individual convictions and they became norms only if a considerable part of the population share them. This is true but fail to grasp an essential quality of norms: i.e. the regulation of conduct. What norms do, also rules do, is to impose some restrictions to the conduct of individuals. Take the case of employment policies. An organization issues an employment policy, doing so they create a norm aimed to regulate the conduct of their employees. The employment policy, in turn, reflects the values raised by the company. A similar comparison can be made with fidelity. We believe in fidelity, that means we believe that sexual intercourse with others is no good, that sexual intercourse should be restricted to our partner. This is an individual value but can became a norm, as in fact it is, in some marriages and some societiies. Some norms are so strong that eventually can be enforced by law, this is the case of fidelity in marriage within Sharia
