This document discusses the importance and purposes of values. It describes how values help people determine what is good or bad, right or wrong. Values become the basis for perceptions, opinions and attitudes. There are different types of values including societal values accepted by a majority, general values that individuals operationalize in their lives, and personal values. Values can be classified in various ways such as depending on who exercises them, the nature of their benefits, and their beneficiaries. The document outlines classifications of values for schools, educational institutions, and the Department of Education. It stresses that culture and the educational process shape personality, values and behavior over time.
3. PURPOSES OF VALUES
They help us
to decide
whether
preferences or
events are
good or bad,
right or
wrong,
desirable or
worthless,
important or
insignificant.
They become
the basic
determiners of
perceptions,
opinions and
attitudes.
Using values
will always
mean going
through
certain
processes:
motivation,
selection,
appraisal
(evaluation).
Values have
also a social
function.
Those derived
from
commonality
of experience
unite families,
tribes,
societies and
nations.
