Humans have the unique ability to describe their identity, select their values

and set up their beliefs. All three of these directly persuade a person’s
behavior. Values are our principles and guides. Morals and the values are the
basis of human values. Just as a building has a foundation of concrete, the
building of human values rests on morals and values. Human values can also
be defined as the values of life.

Values are principles or moral standards that define someone’s behavior

and judgment about what is important in life. Human society cannot
sustain itself if there are no values instilled in humans. They are the
essence of our personality and influence us to make decisions, deal with
people and organize our time and energy in our social and professional
life. Values differ greatly among individuals. The character of each
person is shaped by the set of values. Along with our academic courses,
we are also educated to follow certain values throughout life. This value-
oriented education helps us to develop the temper of our mind,
compassion in our heart, cooperation with others, tolerance towards
others, respect for the culture of other groups, etc. Helpfulness, honesty,
self-discipline are all examples of personalized values.
