The Description of Values

Values are ideals that guide or qualify your personal conduct and interaction with others. They help you to distinguish what is right from what is wrong and inform you on how you can conduct your life in a meaningful way. Values are those things that are really important to us. The ideas and beliefs we hold as special (http://www.kidsinco.com/our-values/ ,  May 5th 2014). Values are very influental in our lives. When we interact with others ,it can determine what is right and wrong and help us to distinguish what is the good one and what is the bad one,as well as determining the quality of our own. And values have a place in every single individual.

Laura Schhelesinger states that values are principles and ideas that bring meaning to seemingly mundane experience of life. A meaningful life that ultimately brings happiness and pride requires you to respond to temptations as well as challenges with honor, dignity,and courage (http://www.kidsinco.com/our-values/ , May 5th 2014). Values lead us to a meaningfull life and happiness. As well as keeping us while responding to things. People who are adopting spiritual way will be finding broader meaning to their life and it can bring them to a simple style of life but rich in inner essence.

According to Ashok Gulla We all have values that determine our decisions and guide our lives (Gulla,2010,p.5). And he also stated that some of the true values of life are love,truth,honesty,responsibility, learning development, patience, suffering, integrity, ethics,   self esteem, contentment,spiritual development,faith,hope and friendship ( Gulla,2010, p.18 ). Values are the principles that we use to determine a good or bad thing. Shows what is right or wrong, and we need to try to imbibe these values in our life. It needs extra efforts to make necessary modifications in our attitude and personality to acquire these values ,it may not give immediate benefit from adopting these values, but they can bring much desired moderation and long lasting happiness.

Values are our fundamental beliefs. They are the principles we use to define that which is right, good and just. Values provide guidance as we determine the right versus the wrong, the good versus the bad. They are our standards. Consider the word “evaluate”. When we evaluate something we compare it to a standard. We determine whether it meets that standard or falls short, comes close or far exceeds. To evaluate is to determine the merit of a thing or an action as compared to a standard. Typical values include honesty, integrity, compassion, courage, honor, responsibility, patriotism, respect and fairness.

( http://www.navran.com/article-values-morals-ethics.html, May 24th 2014 ). Values are used to compare things that we believe in. If it exceed the standard or below. And determining good or bad. Values derived from a higher authority. That is a convenient way to differentiate them from what are often called utilitarian or business values, such as excellence, quality, safety, service, which define some elements of right and good in a business context.
