people should spend more effort trying to resolve their differences and/or look for compromises that satisfy everybody, rather than taking sides and defending “their side”.
Case in point. This a value judgement that not everybody shares.
Calling this a “value” does not clear things up here (I view the word “value” with suspicion, it’s a bit of a curiosity stopper).
If by that you mean a terminal value, then I don’t think humans really differ much in terms of terminal values (except when it comes to “I value myself, you value yourself”, etc.), though they may often act as if they did (i.e. consider their “enemies” to be mutants) - I think people (even here) are too quick to claim that their values are Terminal Values That Can’t Be Changed And Are Not Up For Discussion.
If you mean instrumental value, then maybe all people don’t share that value, but they should (because it indirectly helps them reach their other values), for roughly the same reason should cooperate on the prisoner’s dilemma with “others like them”.
