Introduction

The essay developed about values is to broaden knowledge regarding the


behavior of people and their relationships with others. Based on different
definitions and thoughts to generate one's own thoughts for daily life and relate them
with the sociocultural context in which we live.

The word "values" provokes multiple reactions in human beings. Although the origin of
the word was the economy, philosophers have claimed the right for their field of study
to use it with greater propriety and precision. However, it must be acknowledged that 'the
"values" are not just a matter of academic reflection but also and primarily
concern and task of every person in their life.
Values

Values are the principles, virtues, or qualities that characterize a person, a


an action or an object that is typically considered positive or of great importance for
a social group.

Values motivate people to act in one way or another because they are part of
of their belief system, determine their behaviors and express their interests and
feelings.

Values define individuals' thoughts and the way they wish


live and share their experiences with those around them.

There is a set of values that are shared by society and establish how
they must be the behaviors and attitudes of people, with the aim of achieving
the collective well-being.

Among the most important values, human values stand out because they have greater
recognition and impact on different social groups. These values are

honesty, love, justice, freedom, among others.

We could define values as those codes and beliefs that we have been forming.
acquiring, through inputs, throughout our process of socialization in relation to
to what is right and wrong. In the end, they are intangible forces that guide us towards what
it matters to us or it seems important in our life.

Values are hierarchical. This means that, for the same person, there are some
values that are more important than others. That carry more weight in the way of
behave. Yes, because in the end, our values define us; they shape our
personality, our beliefs and mark our behavior (as long as
let's be clear about what they are).

Values in School

The school is currently at an important crossroads. It is an institution


that has not evolved in the last 150 years. In its beginnings, its function was clear: the
literacy for all those children who had not had the opportunity to receive
a formal education. In today's society, where information is at hand
Everyone, that function makes no sense.

in values. For values are taught through experiences, practical examples and
congruent between what is said and what is done. Investing time and resources in
to convey a way of understanding the world.

In the past, the children who went to school to become literate arrived with the
values that their parents taught them at home. Because normally, those parents spent
an important part of his time with his children, teaching them his way of understanding the
world, sharing experiences and moments.

Currently, this does not happen. Many children lack that education, that teaching more.

and computers than with their own parents. Thus, it seems a bit difficult to learn
values through these means.

Importance of Values

Can you imagine what you would be like if you didn't have the human values that we have?
spoken? How would you behave in the different situations that arise?
What would your life be like? Would it make sense? Perhaps a person without values...

fundamentals I wouldn't know what to do at every moment, how to navigate life or perhaps
I would do anything at any moment without thinking about the consequences. For example, if
A neighbor bothers you every night making noise, what would you be capable of doing? If you have
hunger when you are walking down the street, would you take whatever you wanted from anyone
store or restaurant? It's hard to imagine what a person would be like without any value, it is
almost impossible.

As you must be imagining, human values are the pillars of humanity.


That is why it is so important to educate children in values. It not only helps them to be
better people, capable of relating and behaving correctly in each
moment. An education based on human values will provide them with security,
trust, strength, they will know what to do and what to expect from others.
They will develop without major conflicts and will become adults who will do
from this planet a pleasant place to live. Humanity needs people who
not only to take care of themselves but also to contribute their bit to the
society.

Values are an aspiration, a quest for what we deem relevant in


life. All human beings, as Aristotle pointed out, desire to be happy, it is their
purpose or goal in life, but not everyone has the same idea of happiness.

our actions and decisions, and even in our list of vital priorities, and,
Collectively, they help us move forward as a society.
