Education in Socio-Community Values
values
A value is that which gives meaning to life, directing it towards one path or another,
determining ethical principles. Likewise, it is the positive appreciation made of things,
ideas or people in relation to one's own culture and one's own life.
Values are largely the result of education, cultures, societies, economic conditions and
the distribution of power. They determine the behavioral norms of being and acting,
helping them grow in their dignity as a person in a given society. However, not all
cultures have the same values, in fact some values of some can be considered anti-
values by others. In this sense, socio-community values promote harmonious
coexistence between human beings, Mother Earth and the Cosmos, through the
practice of unity, equality, dignity, freedom, solidarity, reciprocity, respect,
complementarity, harmony, transparency, balance, equal opportunities, honesty,
peace, physical, cognitive and social inclusion in the family, the community and the
State, social and gender equity in participation, common well-being, responsibility,
social justice, distribution and redistribution of social products and goods. Likewise, the
symbolic representations of each value practice in societies are taken into account.
Currently, the values and meaning of life are being defined by commercial
relationships, where what predominates is individual interest and pure rational means-
end calculation. In this context, those who are more competitive and more successful
are more successful. efficient to achieve the purposes demanded by the market. The
uncritical deployment of these market values generates unintentional consequences
that affect life, causing the exclusion and poverty of large sectors of the population and
the deterioration of nature, which makes coexistence impossible and increases the
erosion of human and with nature.
Faced with this problem, education has to be the place to generate attitudes and
relationships of coexistence that put life as the center, rather than individual interest, a
criterion of life that we can learn from the original indigenous peoples based on socio-
community values. Socio-community values in the life experience of indigenous
peoples and nations are concrete life attitudes and practices that make harmonious,
balanced, supportive and complementary coexistence possible within the community.
These socio-community values cannot be taught as content (under a conventional
knowledge transmission scheme), but rather they are taught as concrete attitudes and
practices, through activities that develop in students and teachers the ability to provide
answers to everyday problems. , having as a criterion the reproduction of everyone's
