Values

We need to have a clear picture of what ‘values’ are.

Value (noun)- how useful or important something is.

Value- (verb)-Think that something is valuable

We need to know how values fit into the bigger picture.

What is a value?

What we value is derived from our beliefs and opinions. The best indicator of what we value is how we act and interact in different circumstances.

World View

Each of us has our own individual world view. It is how we see ourselves and the world around us. Our world view is shaped by our experiences, culture, knowledge and understanding.

World View

From our World View we form our Beliefs and Opinions

Belief: A strongly held conviction based on experience, knowledge, understanding and perhaps including an element of faith.

Opinion : a lightly held belief.

Beliefs and Opinions

World View

Our beliefs will lead us to value a range of concepts, attitudes, behaviours and skills.

Value: a measure of importance given to concepts, attitudes,behaviours,skills, people, relationships or objects.
