When referring to principles, 'Grundwert' (core value) is often combined with adjectives such as 'demokratisch' (democratic), 'gesellschaftlich' (social), or 'moralisch' (moral). One can 'teilen' (share), 'verteidigen' (defend), or 'verletzt sehen' (see as violated) these values.

value
'der Wert' and 'der Grundwert' can both mean an important principle. 'Wert' is the more general word: it can refer to many moral or personal principles. 'Grundwert' means a particularly fundamental value on which further thinking or action is based. The words are easy to confuse because 'Grundwerte' are also simply 'Werte'. If you are speaking generally, 'Wert' fits; if you mean the foundation of a person, group, or society, 'Grundwert' is more precise.
