Values
Foundation for attitudes and personal preferences
Basis for important life decisions
Help to define morality and our conceptions of what
is good.
The trouble with values, unfortunately, is that they
are taken for granted, and people are often unaware
of them. Unless a persons values are challenged, the
values being held remain largely undetected. People
especially are not aware that they hold some values
as being more important than others. This
unawareness leads to actions that are sometimes
contrary(dissimilar) to values.

Rokeach has found that an increase in the
priority of one personal values tends to
increase the priority of other personal values

social value tends to increase the priority of
other social values and decrease the value of
