Giving Value
Judgement on
Critical Issues
At the end of this learning module, you are
expected to:
1. Define value judgement;
2. Familiarize different values;
3. Give value judgement on critical issues;
and
4. Provide actions on critical issues based
on one’s value judgment.
2 types of value judgement:
1. PERSONAL TASTE/ VALUE
This type of value judgement refers to your own personal taste or
preference.
You simply base your judgement on how you like or dislike an
object, place or
event. This may vary from person to person.
In stating personal taste, you may use the words: like, prefer, hate,
dislike, love
Example: I like milk tea.
(This statement asserts the person’s
personal taste of dessert or drink.

Others may prefer smoothies, cola or

just water depending on their own
personal taste)
2. Moral Judgement
This type of value judgment refers to how we see
human behavior or values as good or bad, wrong or
right. This is now base on your value system. How
values are instilled and inculcated in you by your
family, culture or society.
Each individual comes with their own set of values and
it may not be totally the same for all because we have
different backgrounds. However, there are universal
values that we consider as morally right and wrong,
good or bad.
This maybe stated as an advice or obligation by
using modals such as should, must, have to. (Ex:
You should obey your parents.) Moral
judgement can also be stated by giving your
belief about a certain issue.
Example: Cheating during exams is wrong.
(This statement asserts the person’s moral
judgement relating to the cheating behavior as
wrong. The person sees cheating as wrong
because it is against the values that was taught
to him or her. It could be that the person values
honesty, fairness and etc.)
