Analysis:
A. THE ESSENCE OF VALUES
It teaches them the best way to live that can be beneficial to individuals as well
as the people around them. Value education also helps the students to
become more and more responsible and sensible. It helps them to understand
the perspective of life in a better way and lead a successful life as a
responsible citizen.

B. PHENOMONOLOGY OF MORAL VALUES

Moral phenomenology is concerned with the elements of
one's moral experiences that are generally available to introspection.

C. CHARACTERISTICS OF MORAL VALUES

 Integrity: sticking to your moral and ethical principles and values. Kindness:
being considerate and treating others well. Perseverance: persisting in a
course of action, belief or purpose. Politeness: using good manners, acting in
socially acceptable ways.

D. METAPHYSICS OF MORAL VALUES

Kant proceeds to motivate the need for the special sort of inquiry he calls
a metaphysics of morals: “That there must be such a philosophy is evident
from the common idea of duty and of moral laws.” The moral law must “carry
with it absolute necessity.”

E. KNOWLEDGE OF VALUES
Knowing is the most general factive mental state of which perceiving is a
species. Knowledge is valuable because we value a match between mind and
world. Since knowledge is not decomposable, we need not explain
why knowledge is more valuable than mere true belief, or more valuable than
justified true belief.
F. MORAL VALUES
Morals in literary works usually reflect truth values according to the author's
view, and that is what it is delivered to the reader. ... In addition, moral of the
story is a ”clue” that the author deliberately delivers about various things
related to life issues, such as attitude, behavior, and sociable manners.
G. PERSONAL VALUES
Personal Values are “broad desirable goals that motivate people's actions and
serve as guiding principles in their lives” Personal values are desirable to an
individual and represent what is important to someone.
H. THE VALUE OF THE HOLY
Value of the Holy Refers to the sacred and hallowed beliefs, some things which
are the objects of worship or veneration. Holy meant the divine or that which
has sanctity directly from the absolute sphere. ... Personal value Refers to
one's own individual and exclusive value.

ABSTRACTION:
These are the explanation upon each of the nature of values.
 Nature of Values Descriptions/Explanations
Value-based education is an approach to
teaching that goes hand-in-hand with values.
At Vedaant Vidhyakulum School
Indore, the best boarding school in Indore,
we strive to create a healthy learning
environment that raises the levels of
academic accomplishment.  We focus on
instilling in students the basic values of life.
Just to cite a few examples:
 Individual values for perfect personality
development.

A. THE ESSENCE OF  Social values to develop students as

socially responsible citizens,
VALUES understanding their rights and duties
towards society and the country.
 Values of relationship – respect,
maintain and strengthen personal, social,
friendly and family relationships.
 Be secular. Follow your faith, but
respect other religions. Refrain from
being communal which destroys the
harmony and divides society.
 Gender equality. No discrimination on
the basis of gender. We groom our girl
students to become confident and
independent individuals. Similarly we train
our boy students to respect girls.
 Practical and relevant application of
information technology. To be aware and
updated on the technological
advancement in all fields is important.
Nevertheless, we advise students to
restrict usage of internet, mobile phone
and social media. Use them when
necessary to enhance value. Beware of
the negative impacts.

Phenomenological rigor must be maintained;

the philosopher cannot speak with any
certainty about the structures embedded in
various particular values without knowing in
advance what values are in general. It is the
 latter task that, if I have been successful, has
B. PHENOMONOLOGY been accomplished in this dissertation. It has
OF MORAL VALUES been well worth the effort, and it is to be
hoped that this project will lead to future
investigations into the givenness of values in
a more specific way. Like values themselves,
phenomenology always leads its adherents
onwards toward greater and greater
possibilities.

Ways to Inculcate Moral Values in Your Kids

1. Practice What You Preach

Children learn from the people around them,

so in order to teach your kids good values,
C. CHARACTERISTICS you must model them in your life, first. You
OF MORAL VALUES may verbally explain numerous values, but
your kid will only pick up the ones you
showcase through your own behaviour.

2. Narrate Personal Experiences

Personal experiences are like stories, and all

kids love hearing stories. Share stories from
your own life, where abiding by a moral value
had a positive experience in your life, and
your child is bound to understand better.

3. Reward Good Behavior

Come up with a system, where you reward

your child for using these values in his/her life.
Praise and rewards are positive reinforcement
that works incredibly well in shaping children.

4. Communicate Effectively

Converse with your child, each day, about

how these moral values work in day to day
life. For example, you can discuss an article in
the newspaper and ask your child what
 he/she would have done in the same
situation.

5. Monitor Television and Internet Use

There’s no escape from the television and

internet, but you can definitely monitor what
your child watches. Make sure the show
promotes good values and morals, and is
appropriate for his/her age.

D. METAPHYSICS OF Metaphysics is about principles of action and

MORAL VALUES the earlier works put forward (various versions
of) the principle of justification of principles of
action (i.e. the categorical imperative), the
crucial question for an adequate
understanding of Kant’s practical philosophy
is about the relationship between the
principles of right and virtue and the
categorical imperative. First, an interpreter
needs to be clear whether the fundamental
principles of right and virtue are derived from
or justified by the imperative; or whether they
are, or can be seen as, relatively independent
from it. Secondly, a related question concerns
the role of the imperative in Kant’s practical
philosophy as a whole. According to the
textbook interpretation, Kant believed that the
imperative can by itself answer all central
questions about morals. The Metaphysics, by
contrast, suggests that the imperative is one,
although central, among many elements of
moral thinking.
E. KNOWLEDGE OF Values are learned throughout the life cycle.
VALUES In early childhood value learning is
influenced by a process of interpersonal
identification with the parents. Parents’
behavior toward each other and interaction
with children represents certain values by
explicit or implicit way. Parents tell children
what is right and what is wrong, but also give
example of the behavior directed to solve
everyday problems.
F. MORAL VALUES
 Acceptance: welcoming others whose ideas
and practices differ from your own

 Compassion: understanding the suffering of

others or self and wanting to do something
about it
 Cooperation: helping your family and
friends, returning favors
 Courage: willingness to do difficult things
 Equality: believing everyone deserves
equal rights and to be treated with respect
 Fairness: acting in a just way, sharing
appropriately
 Generosity: willingness to give resources,
help or time to others
 Gratitude: showing appreciation to others,
letting loved ones know what you appreciate
about them
 Honesty: being truthful and sincere
 Integrity: sticking to your moral and ethical
principles and values
 Kindness: being considerate and treating
others well
 Perseverance: persisting in a course of
action, belief or purpose
 Politeness: using good manners, acting in
socially acceptable ways
 Respect: showing consideration for the
worth of someone or something
 Responsibility: being reliable in your
obligations
 Self-control: staying in control of your
words and behavior
 Tolerance: having a fair and objective
attitude towards different opinions, beliefs or
practices
 Trustworthy: reliably doing what is right
even when it is difficult, being true to your
word
G. PERSONAL VALUES Personal values are the things that are
important to us, the characteristics and
behaviors that motivate us and guide our
decisions.

For example, maybe you value honesty. You

believe in being honest wherever possible
 and you think it’s important to say what you
really think. When you don’t speak your mind,
you probably feel disappointed in yourself.

Or maybe you value kindness. You jump at

the chance to help other people, and you’re
generous in giving your time and resources to
worthy causes or to friends and family.

Those are just two examples of personal

values out of many. Everyone has their own
personal values, and they can be quite
different. Some people are competitive, while
others value cooperation. Some people value
adventure, while others prefer security.

Values matter because you’re likely to feel

better if you’re living according to your values
and to feel worse if you don’t. This applies
both to day-to-day decisions and to larger life
choices.

H. THE VALUE OF THE Value of the Holy Refers to the sacred and
HOLY hallowed beliefs, some things which are the
objects of worship or veneration. Holy meant
the divine or that which has sanctity directly
from the absolute sphere.

Value of the Holy Examples are:

1.value of cult
2.Value of religion
3.Value of worship
4.Value of sacrament
5.Value of prayer
6.Value of rosary
7.Value of the mass
8.Value of the church

Application:
Reflection/Generalization:
Every individual has a set of his or her own personal values that
dictates how he or she reacts to situations in life and these values also
define who he or she is. Values are significant and lasting viewpoints
and principles shared by most people in society in regard to what is
morally right or wrong. Some examples of values are integrity, loyalty,
honesty, virtue, love, selflessness, and zeal. Values can sometimes
sway an individual’s actions and can act as general rules for every
circumstance. Individuals in society will often have his or her own set
of values that serve as an individual blueprint that defines who he or
she is and is the influencing factor in how he or she lives, behaves,
speaks, and believes.

My core values are honesty, love, trust, spirituality, family,

accomplishment, respect, perseverance, and hygiene. My most
important value is family, no matter where an individual is or what an
individual goes through in life I believe that family should always be
first. Every family has ups and downs and I firmly believe that a family
should always help each other and should not become enablers. The
second most important value to me is love; a person must first love his
or herself before others can love him or her.

I love myself first and my love for others is very true and does
not falter if someone does me wrong. I truly believe an individual can
still love a person if the person hurts him or her in any kind of way, but
the individual can love that person from a distance. My faith is very
strong in my life because without God I would not be here and I know
that his love will take me further than what man can. I also believe in
honesty because if I am honest with people they will trust me. One
cannot have honesty without trust.
