Abstract


We understand that the phrase 'arbitrary culture' serves to distinguish and identify itself. Arbitrariness can be identified in whatever element: values, rules, ideas, symbols and material culture. The 1996 World Survey of Values has allowed us to investigate effectively the arbitrary nature of values. Their arbitrariness can be seen in the polarization of the answers. An indicator of polarization is the coefficient of 'curtosis'. According to observations, polarization is a distinctive feature of answers to questions about values.
