DEVELOPMENT
WHAT IS VALUES?
Derived from the Latin word "valere" which means to be
worth or to be strong.
A thing has value when it is perceived to be intrinsically good
and desirable. To develop a value is to acquire it gradually,
and by successive changes, to move from the original position
to one providing more opportunity for effective use.
Values development is the act,
developing values for human dignity.
