Values and Self

Personal values are beliefs that guide an individual's behavior and help them make decisions. Values are formed from a young age through three key periods - the imprint period from birth to age 7 where children learn right from wrong from parents, the modeling period from ages 8 to 13 where children copy behaviors of parents and others, and the socialization period from ages 13 to 21 where peers become highly influential. The family, school, religion, and media all play important roles in shaping one's values during development. Core personal values can include knowledge, wisdom, power, ethics, and independence.

Value is a belief, a mission, or a philosophy that is meaningful.

What ever we are consciously aware of


them or not, every individual has core set of personal values. Values can range from the commonplace,
such as the belief in hard work and punctuality, to the more psychological, such as self-reliance, concern
for others, and harmony of purpose.

Personal value are those standards that you set for yourself to live by. Since these values vary individual,
they are “personal” and can include many things. Religion, morals, and ethics play a part in personal
values.

Personal Values provide an internal reference for what is good, beneficial, important, useful, beautiful,
desirable, constructive. Etc. Values generate behavior and helps solve common human problems for
survival by comparative rankings of value, the results of which provide answers to questions of why
people do what they do and in what order they choose to do them.

Values are obtained in many ways.

The most important place for building values isa person’s family. The family is responsible for teaching
children what is right and wrong long before there are other influences. As it is said that a child is a
reflection of the parents.

As a child starts school, school helps someone to shape the values of children.

Then there is a religion that the family introduces to a child that plays a role in teaching the right and
wrong behaviors.

According to Morris Massey values are formed during the three significant period.

1. Imprint Period from birth to 7 years.


 are like sponges, absorbing everything around us and accepting much of it as true, especially
when it comes from our parents
 The confusion and blind belief of this period can also lead to the early formation of trauma
and other deep problems. The critical thing here is to learn a sense of right and wrong, good
and bad.

2. Modeling period from 8 -13 years.


 We copy people. Often our parents, but also other people. Rather than blind acceptance,
wea re trying on things like suit of clothes, to see how they feel. We may be much impressed
with religion or our teachers.
 You may remember being particularly influenced by junior school teachers who seemed so
knowledgeable-may be even more so than your parents.

3. Socialization period from 13 to 21 years old


 Are very largely influenced by our peers. As we develop as individuals and look foe ways to
get away from the earlier programming, we naturally turn to people who seem more like us.
 Other influences at these ages include the media, especially those parts which seem to
resonate with our the values of our peer groups.
