IMPORTANCE OF VALUES

PURPOSES OF VALUES

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.
