Value is a concept that describes the beliefs of an indivdual or Culture. A set of values may be placed into the notion of a Value system. Values are considered subjective and vary across people and cultures. Types of values include ethnic/moral values, political, religious values, social values, and aesethic values. It is debated whether some values are innate.
Personal values
Personal values evolve from circumstances with the external world and can change over time. Integrity in the application of values refers to its continuity; persons have integrity if they apply their values appropriately regardless of arguments or negative reinforcement from others. Values are applied appropriately when they are applied in the right area. For example, it would be appropriate to apply religious values in times of happiness as well as in times of despair.
Personal values are implicitly related to choice; they guide decisions by allowing for an individual's choices to be compared to each choice's associated values.
Personal values developed early in life may be resistant to change. They may be derived from those of particular groups or systems, such as culture, religion, and political party. However, personal values are not universal; one's genes, family, nation and historical environment help determine one's personal values. This is not to say that the value concepts themselves are not universal, merely that each individual possess a unique conception of them i.e. a personal knowledge of the appropriate values for their own genes, feelings and experience.
Personal values of other persons is dignity of that other person.
Cultural Values
Groups, societies, or cultures have values that are largely shared by its members. Members share a culture even if each member's personal values do not entirely agree with some normative values sanctioned in the culture. This reflects an individual's ability to synthesize and extract aspects valuable to them from the multiple subcultures they belong to.
If an individual expresses a value that is in serious conflict with their group's norms, the group's authority may carry out various ways of stigmatizing or conforming the individual. For example, imprisonment can result from conflict with social norms that have been established as law.
Moral Values
Moral values are values that describe what a person thinks is ethical or not. Moral valuers can be both collective and personal. Moral values play a significant part in determining a persons personality, pysocoloigy, and religious veiws.
