LESSON 4
Values Formation and You
Test your Understanding
1. Do we have such a thing as unchanging values in these changing times?
Answer: YES
2. What do we mean when we say transcendent values are independent of time, space, and people?
Answer:Transcendent values do not depend on the period in history and place when and where people
live/d. They do not depend on the race, nationality and culture of people. They are values true to all
times in all places and for all people.
3. Should values be taught? Why?
Answer: Yes, because they have a cognitive domain.
4. What are the three dimensions of value and value formation? Explain each.
Answer: Cognitive, affective and behavioral dimensions- The cognitive aspect of value formation is
concerned with the rational understanding of value, how it should be lived and why it should be taught.
The affective aspect has something to do with the development of feeling for the value. The behavioral
aspect is the outward manifestation of the value.
5. Value formation is training of the intellect and will. What does this training consist of?
Answer: Training of the intellect is training in conception, judging and reasoning. Training of the will is
strengthening the will to desire and act upon that which is valued.
6. What is the effect of good habit (virtue) and bad habit (vice) on the will?
Answer: Virtue strengthens the will while vice weakens it.
7. Which is the lowest value in Scheler’s value hierarchy? Highest?
Answer: The lowest values in Scheler’s hierarchy are the pleasure values while the highest are the values
of the Holy.
8. Based on Scheler’s hierarchy of values, what is a life well lived?
Answer: A life well lived is one that observes subordination of values in accordance with Scheler’s
hierarchy of values.
9. According to advocates of value clarification, how can you test if a value is really your value?
Answer: I can test if a value is really my value by asking the ff. Questions:
Did I choose it freely?
Did I choose it from among alternatives?
Did I choose it after thoughtful consideration of the consequences of your choice?
Do I cherish it?
Do I affirm it publicly?
Do I act on it repeatedly/habitually?

2.Interview a former alcoholic who was rehabilitated. Ask how his alcoholism affected himself, his job,
and his relationship with his family and community. Ask him to give his advice to the class.
According to the person I interviewed personally alcoholism affected him personally by giving negative
impact on his life like his family, because of alcohol he sometimes physically harms his family. He wants
to go out to clubs and because of that he gets to have a girlfriend and causes him to commit a sin to his
wife. His business also got affected, mostly of his sales goes to his girlfriend/mistress, alcohol and
clubbing. During those times, his relationship with his family is not good, he has a big fight with his wife
and children almost every day. Before he plans to separate with his family, he experienced a motorcycle
accident which made him realize that all he has was his family because they are the only one who
rescued him. Due to the incident, he realized everything and did not do again those things and become a
changed man. Now, everything goes into places especially his business and family relationship.
3.In the modern parable “The Little Prince” written by Antoine Exupery, the Little Prince in his visit to
the planet, met an alcoholic. The following was their conversation:
Little Prince: “What are you doing?”
The Alcoholic: “I am drinking!”
Little Prince: “Why are you drinking?”
Alcoholic: “To Forget!”
Little Prince: “To forget what?”
Alcoholic: “That I am drunkard!”
Based on the above conversation, is the alcoholic (or any alcoholic for that matter) happy for being
one? What lessons can you learn from the life of an alcoholic or a gambler?
