1. Utility: utility can be thought of as the framework which allows us to determine or do the greatest good for the greatest number of people. It can contain behaviour that can be considered unjust, immoral or even welfare-reducing in order to achieve its goals.

2. Liberty: liberty can be thought of as the focus on the freedom as a negative right. As a tool, it can influence immoral acts, or force the individuals to use themselves or their own property as a tool against their will.

3. Duty: duty can be thought of as the focus on the respect for human dignity. The influences people to be just in all their decisions and conducts, treat people fairly and allowing people to think about factors such as treating people, not as tools, or, a means to an end rather as equals.

4. Fairness: fairness can be thought of as the focus on providing justice through the use of the equal opportunity, liberty and concern for their well being> we can see fairness in actions, as well as decisions and therefore the entire framework, depend on these values.

5. Virtue: virtue focuses on nurturing personal relationships but caring for one another. It can also be thought of forming bonds, and not indulging in a relationship dependant on exploitation and/or disrespect and appreciation for all things good.

6. Care: care can be focused on providing help, necessary notice to the people in need and those that deserve it. As a framework, it allows us to think about relationships on the moral ground, without influence and essentially allows the people to think of all the values that can be described as caring for others in the relationship.
