Acceptance and rejection
Accept the idea that only 'pure' images are worth including. If one is different one must be rejected
Accept the idea that religious laws are more important than the state's, even if they are harmful.
VALUES = what someone holds dear, it's what motivates them to do what they do.

ATTITUDES = what they actually do about ideas and values. It's your disposition as well/how you feel about it.
ACCEPTANCE AND REJECTION
DAVID
