Stage blue is absolutist, conformist and the rise of civilization.

Absolute belief in one right and true way. And obedience to authority.

Relies solely in belief in some higher authority. A God.

It is collectivist rather than individualistic. It seeks to be involved within the collective. It's life is intertwined with the life of the collective.

The collectivist stages work for the higher good of the collective, whereas individualistic stages work for the development of the self.

Strong emphasis on religion and the afterlife.

If you take a stage blue person, and you talk with him about these values, you are going to become his best friend.

Beware of a sneaky politician who would take all these keywords from this list and then go rallying and tell that stage blue audience everything it wants to hear. And that crowd will forever become loyal to that politician. That politician will tell them everything they believe in and everything they want to hear.

The simple fact that you are watching a video about spiral dynamics on your own volition, this puts you on the spiral into the high orange, maybe green or even low yellow, stage wise.

Also while watching this spiral dynamics video series, when you will be reading a stage's value set list, you will say in your mind, yes, that's it, this is what is good for me and the world.

If you are at stage blue, You will agree with everything on the list bellow. But if you are at a higher stage you will disagree with most of the things on this list.

Values of stage blue

• Absolute truth and ideology (They hold their ideology sacred. To them their truth is the absolute truth, there is no room for other truths, there is no room for other ideologies but the one that blue believes it is right.)
• Belief, faith and certainty in their set of values (There is a clear right and wrong)
• Stage Blue values hard work, discipline and duty.
• Law and order
• Justice ( Justice goes hand in hand with the enforcement of their truth, they want to enforce their civilization onto others, their worldview enforced onto others).
• Blue values hierarchy, social order and the status quo( there is no need to inovate and to be progressive. Our tradition, the way our ancestors did it is the absolute best way to live life)
• Blue values patriarchy ( Women are there to serve men! Men are the enforcers, they do all the hard work, and women get the benefits of that, and therefore the women should raise the childern and cook food. Women should not hold any position of power acording to blue. And this is not bad, that is the hirarchy, that's the role of the woman)
