VALUES FORMATION

VALUE
 Comes from a latin word “valere” which means: Be worth.
 A value has been defined as any object, activity, or frame of mind that a person considers to
be very important to his or her life. Unlike attitudes, values come in, as conscious list of
priorities
 Values are basic and fundamental beliefs that guide or motivate attitudes or actions. They help
us to determine what is important to us.
 Value specifies a relationship between a person and a goal. It is relational in the sense that
what one person values may not be what another person values even in the same situation.
 Values describe the personal qualities we choose to embody to guide our actions; the sort of
person we want to be; the manner in which we treat ourselves and others, and our interaction
with the world around us. They provide the general guidelines for conduct.
 Values stand up well over the test of time; they are always good or rightful behavior.

TYPES OF VALUES
a. Personal Values
Personal values are also called the individual values. They are formulated as a blend of
family values and the values of a particular culture/ cultural pattern of a society. This are
broad desirable goals that motivate people's actions and serve as guiding principles in their
lives.

b. Family Values
The moral and ethical principles traditionally upheld and passed on within a family, as
fidelity, honesty, truth, and faith. Those moral principles and standards which actually come
into practice through the parents to their kids. Parents really want to cultivate and educated
those values to educate their children.

c. Organizational Value
Organizational values are the guiding principles of a particular or a particular type of
organizations. These values are the blend of fulfilling the needs and aspirations of both
employers and employees along with the high level of morality.

d. Social Cultural Values


These are those cultural values which have been adopted by society in their daily social
life. Social and cultural values are both in the surface and core of every society. Thus, they
are also known as prevailing values because everybody accepts and tends to practice in
his/her behavior. These values may be same or different to the family values. (Individual
Values=Family Values=Social Cultural Values).

e. Moral Values
The essential or highly recommended attitudes and behaviors that a society expects for
coexistence, order and general wellbeing etc are the form of moral values. Moral values are
defined as guidelines that assist a person in deciding between right and wrong. In order to
create honest, credible, and fair judgments and relationships in daily life, the awareness of
one's morals - along with self-awareness - is crucial.

FORMATION OF VALUES
 Formation of values are learned and acquired primarily through experiences with people and
institutions.
 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.
 Our culture plays a huge role in our value formation. Culture gives us a community and shared
reality so that we can cooperate in activities and customs that give meaning, purpose, and
significance to our existence
EXAMPLE:
kindness was imposed on me from my parents, and reinforced throughout early childhood.
Then I applied that value on the school playground and experienced how it helped me create
greater social bonds with my school mates.
WHY OUR VALUES IS WEAKENED
1. many young people one are not taught good manners
2. indifferent to the advice of others
3. many children are orphaned and have no supportive parents
4. not being cared for by the parent because they are busy
5. unable to listen and stubborn

 the meaning of man as a person


 The term “person” can be exclusively attached to human being since not all person are
considered human beings and vice versa.
• To speak of man as a being with others is to speak of man as a person.
• Ample consideration was rendered in a inquiry on personalism.
Personalism- is a study of man as a person Unique, a who, a subject, and a self… never
alone in his existence
Personhood (pagkatao)- individual unique personhood, in as much as the individual is the
person, and the person in the individual. being with others.
 To speak of man as a being-with-others is to speak of man as a person. Man as a person
means that man is unique, a who, a subject, and a self; man is never alone in his existence in
the world; man has that indelible trademark of his "being-with" existence in the world.
• Man's personhood should not be contrasted to man's humanity and individuality. The
Personhood and man's individuality manifest man's individual unique personhood.
SELF-CONCEPT AND SELF-AWARENESS

SELF-CONCEPT
Self-concept is an overarching idea we have about who we are—physically, emotionally,
socially, spiritually, and in terms of any other aspects that make up who we are (Neill, 2005).
We form and regulate our self-concept as we grow, based on the knowledge we have about
ourselves. It is multidimensional, and can be broken down into these individual aspects.
EXAMPLE:
 you may have a very different idea of who you are in terms of your physical body, and who you
are in terms of your spirit or soul.
 How you view your personality traits, such as whether you are an extrovert or introvert
 How you feel about your interactions with the world, such as whether you feel that you are
contributing to society

SELF-AWARENESS
 Self-awareness is one of the first components of the self-concept to emerge. Self-awareness
involves our perception of different aspects of the self including traits, behaviors, and feelings.
Essentially, it is a psychological state in which oneself becomes the focus of attention.
 People are not born completely self-aware. Yet research has also found that infants do have a
rudimentary sense of self-awareness.

TYPES OF SELF-AWARENESS
Public Self-Awareness
This type emerges when people are aware of how they appear to others. Public self-
awareness often emerges in situations when people are at the center of attention.
Example:
You may experience public self-awareness in the workplace, when you're giving a big
presentation. Or, you may experience it when telling a story to a group of friends.
Private Self-Awareness
This type happens when people become aware of some aspects of themselves, but only in a
private way. For example, seeing your face in the mirror is a type of private self-awareness.
EXAMPLE:
Feeling your stomach lurch when you realize you forgot to study for an important test or feeling
your heart flutter when you see someone you are attracted to are also examples of private self-
awareness.

VALUES FORMATION THROUGH COMMUNITY SERVICE


 All Filipino parents hope to pass on to their children the values and words of wisdom that have
been passed to them. They can do a, lot of things for their value formation.
 VALUES ARE CAUGHT AND NOT TAUGHT.
 Values are especially important to understanding human behavior. Conflicts between them are
often based on differences in values. When you seem to be at odds with another person, take
a look at how your basic values differ. And when you seem in conflict with the members of the
group, examine the group's value system against your own.
 the community where the NSTP Students will be assigned could greatly contribute to their
values transformation. A CORPORATE CULTURE is a system of values shared throughout
any given place or organization.
