The second problem is the problem with time series analysis of values. The third problem has to do with structural aspects in comparative analysis. The problems are discussed in three sections namely the relation between man and nature as a value orientation dimension, the relation between man and society as a behavioral dimension, and a two dimensional typology of the relations between value orientation, behavioral orientation and sustainable development.
