But in fact, there are often notable differences in the values recognized by particular groups of people. For example, while many people within the European Union (EU) agree on several common values, there are differences among their countries. A 2007 European Commission report identified clear examples of these similarities and differences. People from various countries were asked to choose which values they consider important in their society. As shown in the graph, a majority of the respondents in the EU considered peace important for them (61%). This was followed by respect for the environment, which was selected by exactly half of the respondents. However, when the results were compared by country, a different picture emerged. Although overall, social equality, freedom of opinion, and [ 35 ] were equally valued, differences were noted among countries. For example, freedom of opinion was selected by 37 percent of all respondents, but more highly valued in the UK (55%) and the Netherlands (52%) than elsewhere. The greatest variation was found in the results for how people regard tolerance, which was selected by 60 percent in the Netherlands but by only 11 percent in Greece. Such difference in values can cause misunderstandings in communication between people with different backgrounds. To put it another way, to improve communication, it is important to recognize differences in values. Therefore, to become effective communicators, people should reflect objectively on their own values. http://www.a-ema.com/img/center2011eng4a.png 問１　Which of the following is the most appropriate for [ 35 ]? {1} diversity {2} innovation {3} peace {4} tolerance 問２　Which of the following statements is true?
