Values, for the purpose of this question, refer to the principles which govern your actions and determine what actions you see as ethical. These tend to be nebulous ideas, like 'equity' or 'social good,' and are often difficult to measure. What criteria do you use to determine if your own actions are in line with your values, and when (if ever) do you consider the values of others?
Ooooooh boy, my values aren't very set in stone, I tend to look at a disagreement and decide who is the bigger asshole at a quick glance. This occasionally leads to me saying things I later regret, but usually trusting my many guts has done me well so far. I guess if I had to put a label on them, my biggest values would be "peace in the world", or more specifically, "peace in the world where everybody understands eachother and doesn't keep stuff to themselves just so said peace can be kept", which isn't very specific a label I guess, but a descriptive one.
Really the main thing I think about when I'm doing something is "does doing this make people uncomfortable or have a high chance to piss people off?". I try to let people know if they're doing something that would piss me off or make me uncomfortable, while doing this I tend to try and not insult their values, should I know them at the same time, because that's just rude and agressive. We need more upfront people I think, not aggressive, just upfront. The world is way to passive aggressive.
