PURPOSES OF VALUES
They help us to decide whether
preferences or events are
good or bad, right or wrong,
desirable or worthless,
important or insignificant.
They become the basic
determiners of perceptions, opinions and
attitudes.
Using values will always mean going
through certain
processes: motivation, selection, appraisal
(evaluation).
Values have also a social
function. Those derived
from commonality of experience unite families,
tribes, societies and
nations.

certain sector/certain personnel should be held responsible for goals agreed upon.

• It is one that provides personal satisfaction, supports social interaction and furthers society’s survival.
