IMPORTANCE OF TEACHING VALUES

1. Values are extremely powerful.

They guide people and determine what
behavior is acceptable and what behavior is not.
A value is a principle that either accomplishes a
well-being or prevents harm or does both.

It is who we are and what we give rather than
what we have that make up our truest inner
selves.
