Were Do Values Come from?

Personal Values are:
They are influenced by our beliefs, our background, education, and our individual and wider social networks. Some of our personal ideas can originate from prejudice, myths and assumptions. We need to be aware of how our values influence what we do.

How are values formed?

Value formation is the confluence of our personal experiences and particular culture we are entwined in. Values are imposed from our family in childhood and reinforced through culture and life experiences. The value of, for example, kindness was imposed on me from my parents, and reinforced throughout early childhood.

Where do we get out values?

We learn most of our values from our parents and extended families. Our family values stem from our social and cultural values. Sometimes new life experiences may change values we previously held. Individual values reflect how we live our life and what we consider important for our own self-interests.
