1. How can feelings and values affect the moral lives of people?

Feelings evoked by suffering, such as sympathy and empathy, frequently inspire people to act
responsibly toward others. Hence, while we may assume that our philosophical or religious
principles have the biggest effect on our moral judgments, our emotions play a considerable part
in our ethical decision-making. Moreover, in today’s society, moral values, rules, norms, and
sanctions affect the decisions made by individuals and over time, define the kind of person they
choose to become. The decisions I have made in my personal and professional life have been
influenced by my moral values and have helped define the person I have become today. From the
day we are born, our interactions with family and friends contribute to defining the principles,
morals, and ethical values we abide by in our daily lives. Throughout my childhood, my family
instilled many important values; love and respect for others, trust, achievement, education,
honesty, and commitment.

2. Why are values considered important to human life?

Values are essential for the creation, development, and sustainability of a life worthy of
human dignity. Values are the key to keeping people motivated in life. People live by their
specific values because it is important in their life. Qualities are the things that people consider
vital in the way they live and it helps them decide their priorities in life. Values are the assets of
the universal nature that keep individuals together. They can also help guide others in the right
direction, like when people need help making the right decision on certain things. A world
without values keeps us blind from the essential things in life. Caring, honesty, love, and respect
are all essential things in life. Values keep you motivated to work towards your goals in society.
Thus, values are of utmost importance. Values help in nurturing us at an individual level and we go
on to build our surroundings better by the strength of our character.
3. What do the results in the LIFE VALUES INVENTORY reveal to you about yourself?

Values are those things that are important, meaningful, and valued by an individual, a group
of people, or an organization. Whether we are aware of them or not, every individual has his or
her core set of values, which consist of many different kinds of values. Each individual’s value
system is different from one others because an individual’s values are built up through one’s life
experience, environment, and family background. Values are important to us because they reflect
our moral standards, shape our behavior, and guide us through long life journeys. However, we
should pay attention to our manners, and utilize our communication skills and on the bottom line,
we need to avoid intentionally hurting people. When coming across people who have different
opinions from mine, I always act respectfully. Being respectful to others, I am well-mannered,
use appropriate language, open to criticism, and conduct myself professionally.
