How do we see Mayan values exemplified in modern society?

We see the Mayans values in something we unwittingly use every single day of our lives. Our calendar is based on 365 days on the year. The Maya actually pioneered this idea based on thier highly accurate solar calendar. Another thing we see the Maya in is our basic school math. Way back in pre-Maya time no one had ever heard of "zero" the number before we begin counting, today in schools zero is the first thing we learn, and it is all thanks to the pioneering minds of the Maya.
