The
Values
Our values
determine how we think. Everyone has different values and their own
opinion of what is good and what is bad.
Having
a firm system of values helps to make decisions basing things on facts
and not on external pressures. Coherent behaviour is impregnated by
a person’s values.
Values
strengthen the success of specific goals. Without direction energy
is dispersed and it weakens the intention and reach. Become aware,
have great consistency with what you think, believe, feel and act.
This is a process that requires the development of self-knowledge
and personal control.
Knowing
your values can help you to: identify and question the aspects of
everyday life and the current social rules. You can build more equal
ways of life not only in the interpersonal fields but also in the
collective fields. You can elaborate an autonomous and rational communication
with yourself, discover general principles that help you establish
justice on the reality. You can motivate youths so that they choose
a consistent behaviour with the principles and rules that they have
personally incorporated.
Values
create a deep commitment in the individual in front of the group he
belongs to and in front of society.
Once suitable
for society, there are values that persist by the historic consensus.
It is
incorrect to say that some people don’t have values. They simply
give them a different ranking order.
Ranking
values is not easy; first you have to think about which ones are desire,
goals and needs to satisfy and reach – then you have to choose
them as a guide. Ranking values varies according to the stage of human
development. For example, for an adult, life, health, family and work
are very important, whilst a youth would give more importance to friendship,
school, fun times and being attractive for the opposite sex.
Speaking
about values is like talking about education. With the aim of not
entering into moral controversies. It is important to point out that
amongst the theme of responsibility is the moderation of alcohol consumption.
The most important value is the looking after your health.
