"Western values" are a set of values strongly associated with the West which generally posit the importance of an individualistic culture.[1] Originally, they are often seen as related to Judeo-Christian values,[2] although since the 20th century are generally associated with other sociopolitical aspects of the West, such as free-market capitalism, feminism, liberal democracy and the legacy of the sexual revolution.[3]
