types of values

Our reflection about the topic Types of values is that these are established throughout one’s life as a
result of accumulating life experiences and tend to be relatively stable. The values that are important to
people tend to affect the types of decisions they make, how they perceive their environment, and their
actual behaviors.

Value specifies a relationship between a person and a goal. It is relational in the sense that what one
person values may not be what another person values even in the same situation. For example, a person
who values honesty might blow the whistle on financial wrongdoing by a superior whereas another
person who values loyalty may remain silent. This is an example of values conflict. The honest person
may believe there are limits to loyalty and keeping quiet about a wrongful act out of loyalty might harm
others. The loyal person may believe in the importance of keeping one’s confidence even if it might
harm others because of the trusting relationship.

These are values that we think are most important or most desirable. These refer to desirable end-states
of existence, the goals a person would like to achieve during his or her lifetime. They include happiness,
self-respect, recognition, inner harmony, leading a prosperous life, and professional excellence.

We believe what’s missing in society today is the commitment to core ethical values that all people
should strive to achieve, such as honesty, kindness, compassion, respect, and personal responsibility.
These are values to be admired and illustrative of a person of integrity.

Values give us clear goals. They always tell us how we should behave and act in different situations and
give the right direction to our life. In life, a person with good values can take better charge. Because If a
person wants a strong character, then he has to possesses good values such as honesty, loyalty,
reliability, efficiency, consistency, compassion, determination, and courage. Values always help in
building our character.

We also believe that Family always plays the most important role in rendering values to us. Decisions in
life are largely based on the values we possess. Values are permanent and seldom change. A person is
always known by the values he possesses. The values of a person always reflect on his attitude and
overall personality.

So in order to help him grow into a responsible and wise human being, it is important for people to
realize that values must be given topmost priority in a child’s life because children are the future of the
society. There can be nothing better in a society where a majority of people have good values and they
follow the ethical norms.
