Framing processes – social values

‘Our actions are deeply embedded in the wider environment, and in the habits and culture and social norms of those around us. They are determined by factors including the search for status, emotions, habits and dominant cultural and social norms. If we are to change, we will do so together’

(Green Alliance 2008, 11).
