They give direction and meaning to people's lives by indicating what is important, desirable, and worth pursuing. Values emerge from experiences and shape personal development and goal achievement. The process of valuing involves freely choosing between alternatives, being happy with and publicly affirming one's choice, and acting repeatedly to uphold that choice.

    Values are guides for our behaviour.


    It is significant to our life and the society in general.
    It gives direction to our lives. Its value are clear and consistent.
    Values tell us the importance of people. What things are desirable and
    satisfying.
    5. Values are principle by which individuals are guided on their proper
    behaviour in a society.
    6. Values have something to do with the total formation of a person.
    7. Value mean whatever is actually prized, esteemed, desired, approved,
    or enjoyed by anyone at a time.
    8. Values allow the members of an organization to interact harmoniously.
    Values affect their formation and development as individuals, and
    make it easier to reach goals that would be impossible to achieve
    individually.
    9. Values is being itself or the richness of being in as much as it has
    power to attract the cognitive and appetitive potentials of men.
    10. Values refer to the major priorities that one chooses to act on.
    11. Values are seen as growing from a persons experiences. It is,
    therefore, expected that different experiences would give rise to
    different values.

    Process of Valuing
    Louis Raths, et al. defined value or the process of valuing as having
    seven aspects and made it clear that unless all the seven are present, then
    what person has chosen is not a value.
    Values possess criteria which can be divided into three categories:
    CHOOSING, PRIZING, and ACTING. Hence:
    C Choosing
    1. To choose freely
    2. To choose from alternatives
    3. To choose alternatives after considering the consequences of such
    alternatives.
    P Prizing
    4. To cherish and be happy with the choice
    5. To be willing to affirm the choice publicly
    A Acting
    6. To actually do something about the choice
    7. To act repeatedly to affirm the choice publicly.

    In the area of choice, the value must be chosen freely and he person is
    totally accountable for the choice he made. The choice must consider the
    consequences of the alternative evident. Essential to the valuing process is
    that the choice must be acted upon and should become part of the life of the
    person. Finally, the person must be happy with the choice, a choice that
    enhances the emotional and spiritual development of that individual.

    Values, therefore, are major priorities that a person choses to act on,
    that creatively enhances his life and the lives of those with whom he
    associates. Our live are motivated and guided by values. In the words of hall,
    all of life is worth living when we have sincerely commited ourselves top the
    realization of our goals.

    Fr. Jaime Bulatao, a Filipino psychologist in his article The Manileos


    Mainspring, gave four large areas of values from the total field of values:
    1. Emotional closeness and security in a family. In any society, the home always
    provides love, understanding, acceptance, a place where, no matter how far
    or how wrongly one has wandered he can always return. The Filipinos are
    noted for manifesting close ties in the family. As many Filipinos would say,
    There is no place like home.
    2. The authority value. This may be defined as approval by the authority figure
    and by society. A part of the Filipino tradition is that children may marry only
    with the consent of parents; even when they elope, the parents are still
    expected to work for reconciliation. Authority figures must be respected and
    obeyed within the limits. Authority figures are feared and served with awe,
    but sometimes are not really loved. One looks at authority figures for help in
    obtaining a job and other benefits.
    3. Economic and social betterment. This value often refers to a desire to raise
    the standard of living of ones family, or of ones hometown. Often it is
    repayment of ones debt of gratitude to parents and relatives.
    4. Patience, suffering, and endurance. This value has been fused with the
    religious value since it seems that God is called upon when other means fail.
    It is associated with women more than with men.
