VALUES Meaning and
Definition
-
Values refer to the beliefs, principles, and standards that individuals or groups hold dear and use as a guide for assessing and making decisions about what is important, desirable, or right. They represent deeply ingrained judgments about what is ethical, moral, and worthwhile in life, serving as a foundation for one's attitudes, behaviors, and choices. Values are not limited to personal preferences, as they often stem from a person's upbringing, cultural background, religious teachings, or societal norms.
These guiding principles are subjective and can vary widely between individuals, communities, or cultures. Values can include concepts such as honesty, integrity, compassion, equality, respect, responsibility, loyalty, fairness, and many more. They often serve as a moral compass that shapes one's actions, relationships, and overall worldview.
Values transcend mere preferences or opinions, as they typically endure over time and are considered essential aspects of an individual's identity. They can influence a person's priorities, goals, and aspirations in various areas of life, such as family, career, politics, religion, or personal growth. By acknowledging and understanding our values, we gain insight into what drives and motivates us, allowing the opportunity to align our actions with what we hold dear and thereby live a more purposeful and fulfilling life.
