Moral values?

Hi! everyone.
Could you tell me what this sentence means? Actually I read it on yahoo answers. This person is defining human values and moral values but I couldn't understand it? How are human values related from others to us and moral values are obtain from others to you? Could you give me a single instance to make it easier for me to understand? I am perplexed?
"Human values are related from us to others and moral values is related from others to us. Human values are something thats is present in us and spread with others and moral values are obtain from other to you."
And also is the green coloured use of the word "related" correct?
I will be much obliged.
Thanks!

Both sentences are ungrammatical and somewhat garbled. The word "related" seems to be used incorrectly. I think it's basically trying to say that "human values" come from within ourselves, whereas "moral values" are imposed on us by society ...

I think, human values are the ways we treat people.These ways of treatment are whether positive (as in, to show compassion or love... etc) or negative(persecution,hatred...etc). Am I right here?
And Moral values are the standard set by a particular society and we have to behave,accordingly. Am I right?

"moral values" are a code of beliefs about what is right and wrong in the sphere of human behaviour, usually within a culture or society. For example, belief that it is wrong to kill another person would be a moral value.

To me, "human values" feels more touchy-feely, and less exclusively about what is right and wrong in an "absolute" sense. Perhaps other forum members could comment on th

Relating to personal emotions and feelings. I'm not sure now that this is a very good correct characterisation of the difference though. I hope that someone else will come along and comment.

Goodness! It's hard for anybody to follow that! Even if it were grammatically correct (and it isn't), it seems to be tackling a deep philosophi
