Values start to be formed during our childhod as we learn to
fulfill our basic needs and especially the people who provide
them to us
Those people become our reference of what is valuable, and we
hold in high regards their principle, standards, or qualities
Values are caught and taught from different sources:
family, peers, school, religion, culture, etc.
Value formation is the training of the "intellect" and "will"
Intellect - distinguishes a value and presents it to the will as a
right/wrong value
will - to act on right value and to avoid wrong value
