Value education is the process by which people give moral values to each other.

According to
Powney et al. It can be an activity that can take place in any human organisation during which
people are assisted by others, who may be older, in a condition experienced to make explicit our
ethics in order to assess the effectiveness of these values and associated behaviour for their own
and others' long term well-being, and to reflect on and acquire other values and behaviour which
they recognise as being more effective for long term well-being of self and others. There is a
difference between literacy and education.

One definition refers to it as the process that gives young people an initiation into values, giving
knowledge of the rules needed to function in this mode of relating to other people and to seek the
development in the student a grasp of certain underlying principles, together with the ability to apply
these rules intelligently, and to have the settled disposition to do so[3] Some researchers use the
concept values education as an umbrella of concepts that includes moral education and citizenship
education[4][5][6] Themes that values education can address to varying degrees are character, moral
development, Religious Education, Spiritual development, citizenship education, personal
development, social development and cultural development.[7]

Values Education
Values Education is an essential element of whole-person education
which aims at fostering students' positive values and attitudes
through the learning and teaching of various Key Learning
Areas/subjects and the provision of relevant learning experiences.
On this ground, it is to develop students' ability to identify the
values embedded, analyse objectively and make reasonable
judgement in different issues they may encounter at different
developmental stages so that they could take proper action to deal
with the challenges in their future life.

Schools could promote Values Education through nurturing in their

students the nine priority values and attitudes: "Perseverance",
"Respect for Others", "Responsibility", "National Identity",
"Commitment", "Integrity" , "Care for Others", "Law-abidingness"
and "Empathy".

Taking cultivation of positive values and attitudes as the direction,

schools should make use of everyday life events to strengthen the
coordination of learning activities, and enhance the connection,
among various cross-curricular domains in values education,
including moral and ethical education, civic education, Constitution
education and Basic Law education, human rights education,
national education, anti-drug education, life education, sex
education, education for sustainable development, etc. so as to
provide students with all-round learning experience conducive to
their whole-person development.

IMPORTANCE OF VALUE
EDUCATION

Mar 6, 2019·2 min read

Values education is teaching and learning about the

ideals that a society thinks is important. The aim is for
students not only to understand the values, but also to
reflect them in their attitudes and behaviour, and
contribute to society through good citizenship and ethics.
Moral education, character education, ethics and
philosophy have attempted to do similar things.

In spite of the increasing literacy rate and more people

receiving education, the crime rate is not coming down
but increasing. The rise in crimes, violence and other
destructive activities in the society can be credited to
poor inculcation of values. It has been seen in the recent
terrorist attacks in various parts of the world, that those
who carried out the attacks were educated men and
women but still were ready to die. What they lacked was
edification. Had they been thoroughly taught the values
of human character, it is possible they would have
shivered to think of killing so many innocent people and
also themselves. Education policy makers need to lay
more stress on education with much stress on imparting
human values and edification. This will have better
results than mere education.

The need of the hour is to impart value based education.

The stress should be on the values such as patience,
honesty, tolerance, sympathy, and love for fellow
brethren and sisters. The students must be indoctrinated
to keep values as top priority. The youngsters need not
only to be taught how to develop their skills, talents, and
abilities, they must also be taught how to use these skills,
talents and abilities for the welfare and betterment of all.

Once values become everyone’s priority in life, all the

negative aspects of life will automatically decline. The
world needs people with high values to make it a better
place to live in.

unfaithful or jealous.

personal values

Personal values mean whatever a person needs in a social relationship.

Some of the personal values are beauty, morality, confidence, self-motivation,

regularity, ambition, courage, vision, imagination etc.

https://gupshups.org/value-education/

Personal Values

Definition

Personal Values are “broad desirable goals that motivate people’s

actions and serve as guiding principles in their lives". [1] Everyone
has values, but each person has a different value set. These
differences are affected by an individual's culture, personal
upbringing, life experiences, and a range of other influences. [2]

Personal values are desirable to an individual and represent what is

important to someone. The same value in different people can elicit
different behaviours, eg if someone values success one person may
work very hard to gain success in their career whereas someone
else may take advantage of others to climb the career ladder.

A person can have many values with an individual assigning more

importance to some values over others. It has been shown that the
values that are most important to you often guide your decision
making in all aspects of your life such as career, religion, social
circles, self-identity etc [1].

A personal value is a broad concept and one particular value can be

applied to various situations [1]. For example, if an important value
to you is loyalty this could be applied to your family, friends or
work environment.

Schwartz in 1992 presented 10 motivationally distinct types of

values as listed below [1]. These values have been researched in
many countries and have been found to be universal in cross-
cultural applications.

1. Self-direction eg freedom, creativity

2. Stimulation e.g. exciting life, daring
3. Hedonism e.g. pleasure, self-indulgent
4. Achievement e.g. ambitious, successful
5. Power e.g. wealth, authority
6. Security e.g. social order, family security, cleanliness
7. Conformity e.g. politeness, self-discipline, respect
8. Tradition e.g. respect for traditions, modest, humble, devout
9. Benevolence e.g. loyal, responsible, helpful, forgiving
10. Universalism e.g. equality, wisdom, world of peace,
social justice, protecting the environment
Lists of personal values can be indefinite but research has shown a
value will generally fit into one of those 10 types. There is no set of
ideal values and everyone will have their own list of values with
unique importance assigned to each one. [3] [5]

Personal values may and may not correlate with a person’s

behaviour. Some values may be practised by an individual and
executed in daily life. A personal value may be important to
someone, but they are not implementing it in their daily life, and
they would like to implement it. And an individual may have a set of
personal values that is not in line with their behaviour.
THE ROLE OF PERSONAL
VALUES IN THE
WORKPLACE
Recognizing, understanding and staying true to your personal values are
some of the most admirable qualities of a professional. The people, their
culture and the underlying values drive a workplace. When your values align
with the organization, it helps you guide your choices and actions. Values
become the crux of better understanding and can help you avoid
misunderstandings and conflict. In short, personal values in the workplace
inform our behavior and set us up for greater job satisfaction. Here are some
of its other benefits:

1. HELPS YOU GAIN SELF-RESPECT

Standing up for what you believe and sticking to your guns is a
guaranteed way to gain self-respect. When you don’t believe in the
things you value most, it’s difficult for others to respect you.
Communicating your values is a great way to build self-respect. For
example, if you feel unheard in meetings, speak up or find ways to do so.

2. HELPS YOU BE CLEAR ABOUT YOUR EXPECTATIONS

Identifying your personal values can inform your job searches and career
trajectory. By having a clear sense of what values matter most, you can
seek roles and industries that help you work on those values. When
your personal values align with an organization’s values, it’s a match
made in heaven. You’ll find purpose in your job when the organization
values the same things as you do.
 3. HELPS YOU IN DECISION-MAKING
The modern job market can often be intimidating as there is a sea of
opportunities available. It can confuse you and make it difficult to make
an informed decision. Being confident about your values can fast-track
the process and help you identify opportunities that are right up your
alley. Your career path can get much-needed direction with the help of
your core values.

4. HELPS YOU STAY MOTIVATED, FOCUSED AND ENGAGED

Values keep us happy and motivated across all areas of life, including
the workplace. However, there will be times when we don’t agree with
the process, vision or mission of an organization. Productivity and
efficiency are automatically going to suffer. To avoid this, it’s important to
remind ourselves of our values and the goals we want to achieve in the
long term. This way, we stay focused, engaged and driven.

5. HELPS YOU ENJOY YOUR LIFE

There are some core values we hold dear throughout our lives. However,
there are some values that keep changing according to current needs
and situations. Values help us prioritize what we need and expect from
our professional life and we keep revisiting this list from time to time.
Being in touch with our inner selves is a great way to reach fulfillment in
our experience at work.

Therefore, clarity about values creates a strong foundation—setting us up for

happiness in both life and at work.
HOW TO FIND AND
STRENGTHEN YOUR
VALUES
There are several questions and tactics you can use to discover what exactly
your list of most important personal values looks like. These tips will help you
get started:

1. GET TO KNOW YOURSELF BETTER

You can’t define your personal values unless you know yourself well. To
get a 360-degree picture of you, start being honest with yourself.
Consider asking yourself the following questions:

 What’s important to me in my life?

 What am I most proud of?
 When was I the happiest?
 What sort of behavior and actions make me angry?
 If I didn’t have to worry about money, what career would I
pursue?

You can answer these questions by brainstorming answers and writing

them down. Revisiting these answers from time to time is a good
exercise.

2. IDENTIFY YOUR PRIORITIES

Not everything we value holds the same amount of importance in our
minds. Some values are more important than others. Finding your core,
 defining values isn’t always easy. However, you can focus on your
priorities by creating your own list of values. Consider these examples of
personal values when creating your list:

 Achievement
 Courage
 Friendship
 Honesty
 Empathy
 Understanding
 Success

This isn’t an exhaustive list. Come up with values that align with your
goals and are grounded in your experiences and personality.

3. CONDUCT A VALUES AUDIT

A values audit may sound like an intimidating concept, but it’s extremely
helpful in understanding what you do or don’t consider important. To go
about the process, create your values list, rank them by importance and
reassess them from time to time. You may undergo changes in your
personal or professional life and it’s helpful when you revisit and revise
your values list. This exercise will also allow you to add new values and
make them a part of your life moving forward. Once you feel confident
about adopting a new value, it’s time to own it.

Identifying, prioritizing and pursuing values can help you get closer to defining
what’s important to you. You can use these values to set goals and achieve
the things you’ve always dreamt about.

CONCLUSION
The path to self-improvement and growth is understanding where your
priorities lie and what changes you want to make. If you want to take action
and turn your life around, start by strengthening your self-knowledge.

What are Personal Values?

Personal values are part of the moral code that guides our actions and
defines who we are. They are what we consider important, the things that
matter to our well-being and happiness.

The simplest way to describe what personal values are is to think in terms
of your personality and behaviors. Ultimately, your values become woven
into your personality and become part of You.

Some of these are more of a universal rule of conduct—think along the lines
of religion and the morals it teaches us. Then, there are some values that
each of us decides to adopt, depending on what we hold dear in our lives
and what we want to achieve and become. For instance, I may value
kindness and compassion over fame and popularity.

To give you an idea of some person values you may have, here is a good list:
[1]

 Authenticity
 Achievement
 Adventure
 Beauty
 Boldness
 Compassion
 Challenge
 Curiosity
 Determination
 Fairness
 Faith
 Fame
 Friendships
 Happiness
 Honesty
 Kindness
  Learning
 Loyalty
 Meaningful Work
 Openness
 Optimism
 Pleasure
 Popularity
 Recognition
 Respect
 Self-Respect
 Spirituality
 Stability
 Success
 Status
 Trustworthiness
 Wealth
 Wisdom

As you can imagine, the above can play out differently for each of us—there
are varied combinations and priorities we use to adopt these. The end
result? The writer and poet Robert Zend greatly put it:

“People have one thing in common: they are all different.”

Before we delve further into the So Whats and Hows of our moral
principles, there’s one more important thing to remember. Values are often
more or less visible to others and are expressed through our current
actions, words, behaviors, but more importantly, they also carve the people
that we are striving to become in the future.

That is, our personal values are not only an extension of ourselves, but they
also shape our characters. They are us—who we are and what we stand for.

Why Are Personal Values Important?

Why does it all matter so much anyway?

Personal values are the main driver behind our personality and actions, and
any endeavor to re-invent ourselves will have to tap into our current moral
principles to give ourselves a chance at a more fulfilling life.

Knowing our moral principles can aid us in a variety of ways. It can help us
find our purpose, ease decision-making, increase our confidence, and guide
us through difficult situations.

Here are few other benefits of how knowing our own codes of conduct can
help us turn our lives around.
Personal Values Help with Self-awareness
Self-awareness has earned a lot of attention in recent years. Indeed, its
advantages are undeniable. It has been linked to enhanced personal
development and better relationships, among a plethora of other gains. [2] It
helps us make sounder decisions, communicate more effectively, get more
promotions, and be less likely to lie, cheat, or steal.

What are personal values?

by admin | 2 Jun, 2017 | The Values Project, Values | 2 comments
Personal values indicate what matters most to people, such as having security, or
freedom, or pleasure, or to promote the welfare of other people. Obviously, all of these
things are “good”, but it is important to know that people differ on what is most important
to them.
Let’s look at two different types of people, for example.
First, some people put their family or friends’ welfare above all else. They place a great
importance on being helpful, loyal and honest; not only to their close family and friends,
but in all aspects of their life. They want to be benevolent.
In contrast, other people aspire to great things. They place a great importance on being
ambitious, successful and influential. To achieve this, they need to be better than
others. They want to achieve.
These are just two of the many different motivations reflected in the values circle.
Values that are next to each other in the circle are similar; they share the same
motivational goals. Values that are on opposite sides of the circle have conflicting
motivations.
Take a look at the circle and see if you can think of people who are motivated by
different types of values.
People who share similar values will find it easier to
communicate.
They will naturally understand and trust each other. But, more on this later … just know
that it is important to have all sorts of people in society.
We need people who aspire to achieve great things and people who want to look after
others. We need people who are creative and self-directed and people who are
committed to traditions and follow the rules.

https://www.thevaluesproject.com/blog/what-are-personal-values/

What is a personal value?

Values are stable long-lasting beliefs about what is important to a person. They become
standards by which people order their lives and make their choices.
A belief will develop into a value when the person’s commitment to it grows and they
see it as being important.

It is possible to categorise beliefs into different types of values – examples include

values that relate to happiness, wealth, career success or family.

A person must be able to articulate their values in order to make clear, rational,
responsible and consistent decisions.

The Importance of Values

in the Workplace
Values are meant to reflect what is important to us in life. Our values represent our

personal guiding principles or life goals, guiding our behavior in all aspects of life,

including our home life, our work like, and our social life. The importance of values lies

in their purpose, which is, in short, to guide our beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors.

What Are Values?

While we are not always aware of our own values, knowing what values are can actually

help you make better decisions that benefit you and others in the long run. This could

mean taking a job that has clearer opportunities for variety, change, and spontaneity, or

a job that has clearer opportunities for security and tenure.

Values, at their core, are ordered by priority. For example, someone may value freedom

over comfort, and comfort over equality. This hierarchy of importance translates to the

belief that, if necessary, one thing (equality) should be sacrificed for another (comfort),

and then another (comfort) for another (freedom).

Where Do Values Come

From?
An important thing to note is that values cannot exist in isolation from society.

Essentially, every value we think of can be referred to as a ‘goodness’ that exists in our

minds, which in turn, exists as a sociometer construct that guides both collective and

individual action. While individuals may perceive themselves to be following their own,

personal values, they always arise from a social or biological context.

Values can be formed biologically, determined by our human needs, wants, and

desires, and following our birth, they are formed from particular social groups, whose

core values are determined by its purpose. Some examples include:

Importance of Values in the

Workplace
Values are important because they guide our beliefs, attitudes, and behavior. If you

continuously compromise your values in your decision-making, the detriments to your

own morale are undeniable. Recognizing, understanding, and staying loyal to your

values is therefore one of the most important efforts any human being can take, and is

equally as important when it comes to the workplace.

Here is a list of reasons outlining the specific importance of values in the workplace:

1. Values help you to gain self-respect.

Sticking to your values and choosing not to compromise them for demands is a

guaranteed way to regain self-respect. For example, if you value punctuality,

communicate this to your coworkers. If you feel you are being underappreciated or

neglected by your superiors, speak up.

If you do not respect yourself by staying true to what you believe is morally sound, and

what falls in line with your values, there is no reason for anyone else to respect you

either. Communicating your values not only improves your relationships and happiness

with others but builds self-respect.

2. Values help you be clear about your

wants.
Personal values don’t only serve an important function in your life. They can be

especially useful in the workplace as well, informing your job searches or career

decision making.

In order to identify your personal work values, you should aim to sort values from most

important to least important. These could include recognition, achievement,

independence, support, working conditions, justice, and so on. By having a clear sense

of which values are important to your work efforts, you will be able to identify the
companies or industries that have methods and goals most conducive to your personal

values.

The crux of this is in understanding which specific values are of utmost importance to

us, in order to avoid compromising them in any way in our work life. If you don’t have a

clear understanding of what your values are, you will have a lot of difficulties figuring out

what it is you are looking for to be satisfied and happy at work.

3. Values help you in decision-making.

The modern job market can make anyone feel like they have all the choices in the

world, but with that opportunity overload, there comes the feeling that we have

‘forgotten’ how to make a good decision. There will always be alternatives, always

different opportunities and paths you can take. Having a clear sense of what your

values are can help you to navigate those options, eventually drawing out the ideal

choice.

For example, if you have reached your maximum position for growth and advancement

in the company you work for, what steps do you take? Are you meant to stay and

compromise your desire for more stimulation for job security, or do you value

stimulation more than security, and start looking for a new job where you can further

develop?

Realizing and identifying our values are of utmost importance because when we

understand them, we are able not only to communicate them when changes need to be

made, but we can also draw on them when we decide to change paths if they are not

being met.
4. Values help you enjoy your life.
Values are the ethical goal statements that drive our behavior, and while some may

change over time, our core values remain intact from the moment they are conceived.

Your personal values are directly connected to your contemplating conscience. When

something spurs you to behave against your values, your conscience raises an

objection and persists until it cannot be ignored without sacrificing your happiness.

Hanging on to a job or a position because of its potential you can see in it, sacrificing

your own contentedness and value satisfaction in your work is not a healthy choice to

make. There will always be a positive correlation between our values and job

satisfaction. Seeking out a common denominator between your value system and your

employer will allow you to reach fulfillment in your experience at work.

5. Values keep you motivated, focused,

and engaged.
When you’re working for a company with whom you disagree with over their product,

process, or mission, your productivity suffers. Living in accordance with values keeps us

motivated and happy in all areas of our lives, including the workplace. Working towards

a goal we don’t strongly believe in can leave us lagging in our efforts, losing motivation

much faster than if we were to truly want to strive for the goal in question.

Final Thoughts on the Importance of

Values
Understanding that others can have different values from your own is the crux of better

understanding others altogether. Values can help us to predict each other’s choices,

avoiding misunderstandings, frustration, and distrust. Understanding that other people

prioritize a different set of values that guide their behaviour will help you to better

understand that while their choices may differ from yours, they are right for them.

Our values inform us through, words, and actions. They help us to grow and develop,

creating the future we want to experience, both for ourselves and for others. Clarity

about your values can help create a strong life foundation, providing you a basis for

decision-making and setting you up for happiness in both life and work.

Our values inform our thoughts, words, and actions.

Our values are important because they help us to grow and develop. They help
us to create the future we want to experience.

Every individual and every organization is involved in making hundreds of

decisions every day. The decisions we make are a reflection of our values and
beliefs, and they are always directed towards a specific purpose. That purpose is
the satisfaction of our individual or collective (organizational) needs.

WHEN WE USE OUR VALUES TO MAKE DECISIONS, WE MAKE A

DELIBERATE CHOICE TO FOCUS ON WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO US. WHEN
VALUES ARE SHARED, THEY BUILD INTERNAL COHESION IN A GROUP.

There are four types of values that we find in an organizational setting: individual
values, relationship values, organizational values, and societal values.
INDIVIDUAL VALUES
Individual values reflect how you show up in your life and your specific needs-the
principles you live by and what you consider important for your self-interest.
Individual values include enthusiasm, creativity, humility, and personal fulfillment.
RELATIONSHIP VALUES
Relationship values reflect how you relate to other people in your life, be they
friends, family, or colleagues in your organization. Relationship values
include openness, trust, generosity, and caring.

ORGANIZATIONAL VALUES
Organizational values reflect how your organization shows up and operates in
the world. Organizational values include financial
growth, teamwork, productivity, and strategic alliances.
SOCIETAL VALUES
Societal values reflect how you or your organization relates to society. Societal
values include future generations, environmental
awareness, ecology, and sustainability.

Why are values important?

by admin | 7 Aug, 2017 | The Values Project, Values | 2 comments
Our values reflect what is important to us in life. They are often referred to as our
personal guiding principles or life goals. While we may have a variety of shorter term
goals that are specific to a situation, like getting a job or a promotion, running a
marathon, or visiting Hawaii, our values are life-goals that not specific to any one
situation. Values guide our behaviour in all aspects of our life, including our home life,
our work life and our social life.
Values are important because they guide our beliefs,
attitudes and behaviour.
We are not always aware of our values, but knowing what they are can help you more
easily make decisions that are right for you, such as taking the job that has good
opportunities for variety, change and spontaneity or good opportunities for security and
tenure.
For instance, people who place great importance on stimulation in life are likely to seek
exciting and new experiences across all aspects of life. They will look for exciting
activities and be willing to take risks or change plans spontaneously, whether they are
at work, with their family or with their friends.
In contrast, people who place great importance on security in life are likely to seek
safety in their immediate environment and also safety and stability in the wider society.
They are likely to avoid walking alone at night, look for stable employment, be
concerned about the threat of terrorism and be in favour of preserving law and order in
society.
As you can imagine, people who place great importance on exciting and new
experiences will find it difficult to understand the choices of people who place greater
importance on security in life and vice versa. They are likely to find it difficult to predict
each other’s choices, which may lead to misunderstandings, frustration and distrust.

Learning that people can have very different values from

yours can help you to better understand others.
Values are important because they can help us to predict each other’s choices, and can
help us avoid misunderstandings, frustration and distrust. Understanding that other
people prioritise a different set of values that guide them toward different decisions, may
help you better understand that their choices may be different from yours, but they may
be right for them.
Since our launch in June, over 7,000 Australians have learned about their own values
through The Values Project. Hopefully, taking the values survey helped you to think
about your own value priorities, and also brought to your attention that others may place
importance on different values. Regardless of your value priorities, it is important to
understand them as they guide us to achieve our goals.

The Three Types of Values Students Should Explore

Part of preparing students to be self-reliant and successful means helping them find a space where
they “fit in”. The process of finding this space includes helping them discover what is important to
them and what their values are. When students understand their values, they are driven, focused,
and able to live authentic, happy lives.

In the Winning Futures program, we teach students that their values matter. There are three types of
values they explore in order to create a strategy for success. The three types of values we
encourage students to explore are:
• Character Values
• Work Values
• Personal Values
Knowing what is important to them will help them find success in their personal and professional
lives.
1. Character Values
Character values are the universal values that you need to exist as a good human being. They are
also the core characteristics that employers look for when hiring. Examples of character values
include: commitment, loyalty, positive attitude, and respect.
2. Work Values
Work values are values that help you find what you want in a job and give you job satisfaction. It is
especially important to understand what your work values are in order to thrive professionally.
Examples of work values are: hands-on, public contact, prestige, and stability.
3. Personal Values
Personal values are values that help you define what you want out of life and will assist you in being
happy and fulfilled. They are the guiding principles of your life. Examples of personal values are:
family life, popularity, health, and appearance.
Allowing students the opportunity to explore their values is essential when assisting them in setting
goals. When students understand what their values are, they are able to determine what drives
them. It helps them gain clarity about what they really want. Exploring character values, work values,
and personal values helps students find the place where they will “fit in” and be most successful.

Three types of values

Values are standards or ideals with which we evaluate actions, people, things, or
situations. Beauty, honesty, justice, peace, generosity are all examples of values
that many people endorse. In thinking about values it is useful to distinguish
them into three kinds:

 Personal values: values endorsed by an individual. For example, some

people regard family as their most important values, and structure their
lives so that they can spend more time with their family. Other people
might value success instead, and give less time to their families in order
to achieve their goals.
 Moral values: values that help determine what is morally right or wrong,
e.g. freedom, fairness, equality, etc, well-being. Those which are used to
evaluate social institutions are sometimes also known as political
values.
 Aesthetic values: values associated with the evaluation of artwork or
beauty.

Value categories
Explanations > Values > Value categories
 Personal values | Social values | Political values | Economic values | Religious values | So what?
https://link.springer.com/referenceworkentry/10.1007%2F978-94-007-0753-5_3349

There are a number of different categories into which values can be placed.

Personal values
Personal values are those you take for yourself and which constitute a critical part of your
values and are apparent in attitudes, beliefs, and actions.
Personal values may be prioritized, such as honesty then responsibility then loyalty and so on.

Social values
Social values are those which put the rights of wider groups of people first. This may include
equality, justice, liberty, freedom, and national pride. These are often instilled into us when we
were young.

Political values
Political values are ideological beliefs about the best way to govern a country or organization,
for example through welfare, democracy and civic responsibility.

Economic values
Economic values are those around money, and may include beliefs around ownership of
property, contributing to the common good (taxes!), the balance of supply and demand and so
on.

Religious values
Religious values are spiritual in nature and include beliefs in how we should behave, including caring of
one another and in worship of our deity or deities.

Aesthetic value is the value that an object, event, or state of affairs (most paradigmatically
an artwork or the natural environment) possesses in virtue of its capacity to elicit pleasure
(positive value) or displeasure (negative value) when appreciated or experienced aesthetically.
Description

Everything that is valuable is valuable in a variety of ways. Art

objects often have sentimental value, historical value, or financial
value. Wilderness can have economic value as well as recreational
value. But great artworks are thought to possess a distinctive sort of
noninstrumental and nonutilitarian value that is of central concern
when they are evaluated as artworks. It might be thought that this
value is beauty, but many artworks are not beautiful. So it is more
plausible that beauty is a particular species of aesthetic value. The
aesthetic value that a work of art possesses (and most would extend
this to...

What is aesthetic value give example?

Aesthetic value is a judgment of value based on the appearance of an object and
the emotional responses it evokes. ... People in the West, for example, may value
Classical design inspired by Ancient Greece and Rome, while people in the East may
not find this style aesthetically pleasing.

Simply put, aesthetics make us happy. On an emotional level they elicit feelings of happiness
and calm. They connect us to our ability to reflect on and appreciate the world around us which
in turn gives us feelings of contentment and hope.

MORAL VALUES
Moral values are the behavioral practices, goals, and habits which are
validated by the society we’re part of. This set of values typically becomes
embedded in our behavior through a long process of observation, education,
conditioning, and social guidelines. Usually, these are universal in nature and
may not vary much in different parts of the world.
For instance, no matter which community, religion, or region you belong to,
moral values such as truthfulness, loyalty, courage, faith, and honesty will be
equally respected almost everywhere.

Moral values concern themselves with right and wrong. They also define what
is socially acceptable, good or evil.

Moral values are ideas that society considers important. They are at play
when a person interacts with the wider world or has to make a decision that
will have a consequence on others.

Moral values are comparatively rigid. It is often seen that society resists any
change to the moral values that it holds dear to itself.

https://harappa.education/harappa-diaries/what-are-values/

What are Morals?

Moral values are relative values that protect life and are respectful of the dual life value of
self and others. The great moral values, such as truth, freedom, charity, etc., have one thing
in common. When they are functioning correctly, they are life protecting or life enhancing
for all. But they are still relative values. Our relative moral values must be constantly
examined to make sure that they are always performing their life-protecting mission. Even
the Marine Corps core values of “honor, courage and commitment” require examination in
this context. Courage can become foolish martyrdom, commitment can become irrational
fanaticism, honor can become self-righteousness, conceit, and disrespect for others. Our
enemies have their own standard of honor, they have courage, and they are surely
committed. What sets us apart? Respect for the universal life value sets us apart from our
enemies.

Moral values are set of principles guiding us to evaluate what is right or wrong

Moral values help shape the character and personality of individuals.

Children are taught about it through moral stories.

Moral values such as integrity, determination, loyalty, truthfulness, honesty,

giving respect to each other etc should be inherited by every individual. As
stated earlier moral values help us distinguish between what’s right and wrong,
good or bad for you as well as society. So, as a result, your decision making
power improves naturally.

Respecting each other no matter what age of the person standing in front of you
helps you gain good relations at every walks of life, be it family, workplace, or
society. It also helps in finding the true purpose of your life.
Now if moral values are so fruitful to humans then why is it that there are too
many people who don’t follow such a morally right life. Why are there crimes
happening in this world? Or disbelief towards each other among citizens on this
earth?

This world is a tempting place, offering quick fixes to problems we face, which
eventually brings us back to the main problem. Following moral values in life
takes a lot of patience and sacrifice but it surely helps one to analyze the
problem or difficulty one faces in life and find the solution The trick about moral
values is that the results of following such a disciplined or determined lifestyle
are not at all observable in day-to-day life. But only at the difficult times when
people trust you, and keep faith in you, do you realize that your way of living is
what made them trust you today. These values will surely help you, but only in
the long run, or you can see the actual results in the long run.

So to sum it up. A person who is determined to follow a meaningful life patiently

follows moral values in his life without the fear of getting judged and hence
stands out in the crowd.

To find out more on this topic I recommend you to read the following article,
which explains it deeply.

SOCIAL VALUES:
A person cannot live in the world without communicating with others.

People want social values like love, affection, friendship, noble groups,
reference groups, impurity, hospitality, bravery, service, justice, freedom,
patience, forgiveness, coordination, sympathy, tolerance, etc.

Social values are more important for a healthy and good environment for every
organization.

https://gupshups.org/value-education/

What is social value? Social value is the quantification of the relative importance that people place
on the changes they experience in their lives. Some, but not all of this value is captured in market
prices. It is important to consider and measure this social value from the perspective of those
affected by an organisation’s work.

Examples of social value might be the value we experience from increasing our confidence, or from
living next to a community park. These things are important to us, but are not commonly expressed
or measured in the same way that financial value is.
https://socialvalueuk.org/what-is-social-value/

Social value is about understanding the relative importance of changes that

people experience and using the insights we gain from this understanding to
make better decisions. By taking this relative importance into account we can
ensure that the decisions we make focus on what is valuable to people, and
through this we can start to increase the positive and reduce the negatives
effects and ultimately increase the overall value of our work.

What are Social

Values?
Definition: Social values are a set of moral principles defined by society
dynamics, institutions, traditions and cultural beliefs. These values are implicit
guidelines that provide orientation to individuals and corporations to conduct
themselves properly within a social system.
What Does Social Values Mean?
Values are progressively formed in the lives of people and in corporate
culture. They shape society’s behavior to guarantee adequate coexistence
between participants. These values provide the boundaries between what is
right and what is wrong, what is permissible, prohibited, illegal, desirable,
legitimate or punishable and, the only way they can positively function is by a
collective agreement, either explicit or implicit, that clarifies rules in a way that
everybody knows and understands the boundaries.

In business, social values are essential to maintain healthy relationships

between co-workers and between the company and the society. A company
that conducts itself by contradicting well-established social values will
encounter severe conflicts that will isolate the business from its consumers
and it will surely lead to disappearance, since businesses must act towards
developing benefits for society. Governments and laws are normally
established to preserve social values through enforcement procedures. The
judiciary system and government institutions are therefore created to maintain
society’s proper functioning.
Example
BioGenics Co. is a company that develops farming technologies to increase
the speed of agricultural processes through genetic manipulations. The
company has created different methods to increase crops resistance, size,
color and glow among other factors that have a positive effect in the
agricultural industry.

Nevertheless, there has been a lot of rumors about the company’s unethical
practices and the society as a whole seems to be concerned about the
negative effects these biotechnologies will have in human health. The
government established a commission to investigate these violations and after
reviewing most of the cases they found that the company was implementing
illegal procedures to develop some of their technologies. These findings led to
the company’s dismantling and further disappearance since it contradicted
essential social values.

Social values are defined as standards, which individuals and social

groups employ to define personal goals and essentially shape the
nature and form of social order in a collective i.e., what is acceptable
and not acceptable, what ought or not to be, what is desirable or
non-desirable

What Is Economic Value?

Economic value is the value that person places on an economic good based on
the benefit that they derive from the good. It is often estimated based on the
person’s willingness to pay for the good, typically measured in units of currency.
The economic value should not be confused with market value, which is the
market price for a good or service which can be higher or lower than the
economic value that any particular person puts on a good.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

 Economic value is the value that a person places on a good or service,

based on the benefit they get from it.
 Economic value is subjective and difficult or impossible to measure, though
there are approaches to estimating it.
 Producers use estimates of economic value to set prices for their products
taking into consideration tangible and intangible factors such as brand
name.
Understanding Economic Value
The preferences of a given person determine the economic value of a good or
service and the trade-offs that they will be willing to make to obtain it. For
example, if a person has an apple, then the economic value of that apple is the
benefit that they receive from their use of the apple. If they intend to eat the
apple, then the economic value is the enjoyment and nutrition they expect to
receive from eating the apple.

The economic value of the apple does not exist as any objective quality of the
apple, but is entirely dependent on the subjective intention of the person valuing
the apple and their relationship to it. While the qualities of the apple might
influence the use that the person has for the apple the sole source of economic
value for the apple is the person’s expectation of how well an apple of that given
quality will suit their use.

Economic Value of Consumer Goods

Because economic value is subjective and dependent on a person’s intentions it
cannot be directly measured. Various methods have been devised in order to try
to quantify or estimate economic value however.

https://www.investopedia.com/terms/e/economic-value.asp

What Are 'Economic Values'? There are nine common Economic Values that people consider
when evaluating a potential purchase: efficiency, speed, reliability, ease of use, flexibility,
status, aesthetic appeal, emotion, and cost.

Why is economic value important?

Economic value is one of many possible ways to define and measure value.
Although other types of value are often important, economic values are useful to
consider when making economic choices – choices that involve tradeoffs in allocating
resources.

Religious values can be defined as a stable belief that a certain model of human behavior or
the ultimate goal of a person's existence is the only preferable one from a social and personal
point of view, rather than a different manner of behavior or some other ultimate goal of
existence [

Religious values
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to navigationJump to search
Religious values reflect the beliefs and practices which a religious adherent partakes
in.[1] Most values originate from sacred texts of each respective religion.[1] They can also
originate from members of the religion.[1]

Religious symbols representing multiple religions. From top left to right (Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Islam,
Buddhism, Shinto, Sikhism, Baha 'i, Jainism)

Members of particular religions are considered to be a prime embodiment of the

particular religion’s values, such as leaders or adherents of a religion who strictly abide
by its rules.[1] Each religion has similar and differing values.[1] Being religious does not
indicate that certain religions are opposed to particular attitudes or encourage them.
[1]
These values are also evident in secular society as it shares similarities.[2]
Various aspects of the significance of religious values have been considered with
respect to novels,[3] their relevance to a particular religious group (the Jains for instance
or Latin Americans),[4][5] and in relation to human society.[6]
 Religions influence areas of living in society such a how they treat money.[7] Money is
used more ethically by religious adherents than those who are not.[7] Care of the
environment is also a religious moral based on values of creation.[8] There are issues in
society such as abortion which religious values impact as well.[9] An adherent’s attitudes
on homosexuality are also affected by religious values.[10] If divorce is taken as a path in
marriage or not is affected by how religious the individuals are.[11] Even an
adherents consumer behaviour can be shaped by their religion.[12]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_values
What are some examples of religious values?
Examples of spiritual values include ideals such as truth, love, righteousness,
goodness, and so on. His views contrast with the radical Enlightenment because
Schleiermacher believed that no matter what happens, faith will persist and continue to
exist because it isn't based around logic but feelings.

Religious Values and Worldviews

 Raja M. Ali Saleem
 https://doi.org/10.1093/acrefore/9780190228637.013.1158
 Published online: 28 August 2019
Summary
Values are enduring beliefs that impact human actions and behavior. They
are conflated with norms, morals, traits, and attitudes, but they are different.
Worldviews, held consciously or unconsciously, are interpretive frameworks
or a set of presuppositions about the basic constitution of reality that
provides the foundation for people’s lives. Religious values can be specific to
a religion or universally shared. In the developed world, religious values are
losing their potency, but in developing countries, where people are
existentially insecure, these values still guide individual and social action and
behavior. Although people have had religious worldviews from times
immemorial, a conscious effort to develop and present such worldviews to
counter more secular worldviews was first initiated in the late 19th century.
It was thought that religions, particularly Christianity, could better withstand
the onslaught of secularization and modernization by presenting themselves
as worldviews. Since then, the presentation of religions as worldviews has
gained momentum, and the initiative by a few Protestant evangelicals has
spawned hundreds of articles, books, courses, and workshops that cover
almost all major religious worldviews.

Religious values define what people expect of themselves and of others based on the beliefs
common to the religions they practice. Such values represent the core principles that guide
daily decision making. They help people determine which actions to take, and to make
judgments about right or wrong and good or bad. The world’s most commonly practiced
religions often have similar values, although variations exist in the way some values are
prioritized over others.

Why are religious values important?

Religion helps in creating an ethical framework and also a regulator for values in day to day
life. This particular approach helps in character building of a person. In other words, Religion acts as
an agency of socialization. Thus, religion helps in building values like love, empathy, respect, and
harmony.
