• Behavioral values are the inner personal
responses which prompt a person to act in

• Although man is created to choose what is
good, he is still capable of committing
immoral acts because he is vulnerable and
usually overpowered by his weakness.

experiences which demands his choice

behavioral values are not rooted with
universal truths.
