THE IMPORTANCE OF VALUE

THE POWER OF VALUE
Some times I ask if we still have people of value in the world.
WHAT IS VALUE?

Value is the importance or worth which is attached to something.
Value means that which is desirable, right and acceptable as been of great worth to us.
When something is of great worth we cherish it,we admire it and we would not want to lose it. When we place great value on something, we would want to preserve it. Something that is precious and important to us is said to be of value to us.
There are various types of values that a person or a society must possess.
They are:

• General values
  *Personal values
  *Group values
  ⌛ General values; show the norms of society on which there is acceptance. This values represent traits of behaviour which society considers as good and acceptable. Under this type of value we can find these qualities like;
  Justice, honesty, liberty,equality, respect for individuals property, human dignity, consideration for others, responsibility, trustworthiness, fair-play, uprightness, faithfulness and tolerance.
  ⏳Personal values; are values which are admired and approved by individuals in society. In making personal decisions or choices, individuals are often guided by such value. The individual behaves according to the personal value as which will be of interest to them.
  In cases where personal interest comes into conflict with General interest, most often personal values would determine the action that the individual would likely take.
  ⏳Group values; these are values developed, cherished and promoted by gangs, groups and cliques. Examples are; secret cults. Group values sometimes do not conform to the General values held by members of society. Such value, which often results from sub-cultures of the group, usually influence individual decisions and actions to be taken by members of the group.
  

In any society, there are positive and negative values. Every positive value admired by society has a negative opposite which is disapproved by society, this means that while individuals are advised to develop good values, they are also advised to do away with the negative values.
Negative values are: dishonesty, untrustworthiness, laziness, indiscipline, intolerance and lawlessness.
Values vary from place to place,countries to countries.

IN CONCLUSION
Values are very important in every society and also in the life of every individual,therefore everybody body should possess good values and shun negative values so the world would be a better place.
