Sources of values

  • our homes

  • school

  • society

  • friends

  • TV

  • church

  • music

  • books

  • families

  • culture

  • employers

  • time-period in which you were raised;

  • 70’s anti-establishment, peace, individuality;

  • 80’s money, prestige, don’t get caught, etc.;

  • 90’s earth, green peace, health and fitness, etc.

Your age will greatly influence your values. Different people and things influence you at different ages:

  • Ages 1-7 ‒ parents

  • Ages 8-13 ‒ teachers, heroes (sports, rocks, TV)

  • Ages 14-20 ‒ peers (values because of peers or peers because of values?)

  • Ages 21+ ‒ your values are established, but you may test your values from time to time.

Values versus Facts:

VALUES are things we feel “should”, “ought”, or “are supposed to” influence our lives.

VALUE: All people should be active in a specific religion.

VALUE: The best time to buy clothing is when the price is discounted.

A value is a statement of one’s personal beliefs.

FACTS simply state what actually are. It is easy to confuse values with facts.

FACT: Many people are active in a specific religion.

FACT: The most economical time to buy clothing is when the seasons change and the price is reduced.

A fact is established by observation and measurement.

Values and Behaviors:

Happiness comes from letting values decide your behavior and goals.

Values can change over a life-time as your experiences change your view.

Step 7. Learn the types of values. Say what really matters to you.

Types of Values

Moral/ Material

Social / Family

Universal/ Group specific values

Intellectual /Career

Step 8. Spend time really thinking about the values and what they mean to you. Don’t just pick words quickly. It is not an intellectual exercise; it is connected with your feelings. Listen and ask questions when talking to your family. The intention is to explore and learn about another’s values, not to impose your values on others. At the end, take time to reflect on what was most meaningful about your conversation.
