What Is a Value?
Our decisions often reflect our values.
Values play an important part in our lives. They help us decide what we expect of ourselvesand of others. Our values help us to make decisions.
What are the differences between values, morals and ethics? They all provide behavioralrules, after all. It may seem like splitting hairs, but the differences can beimportant when persuading others.
Values
Values are the rules by which we make decisions about right and wrong, should and shouldn't, good and bad. They also tell us which are more or less important, which is useful when we have to trade off meeting one value over another.
Dictionary.com defines values as: Beliefs of a person or social group in which they have an emotional investment (either for or against something); "he has very conservatives values."
Morals
Morals have a greater social element to values and tend to have a very broad acceptance. Morals are far more about good and bad than other values. We thus judge othersmore strongly on morals than values. A person can be described as immoral, yet there is no word for them not following values.
Dictionary.com defines morals as:Motivation based on ideas of right and wrong.
