Values are things that are important to us. What do you value?  What in life is significant to you?

Our values can be personal to ourselves or important to our family, religion or culture.  Some things that we care about can be easy to work out. You might value your friends, family or the things you own? You might value the environment, animals, even what you eat. Other are not always easy to identify but we all have them and they can determine our choices.  Some examples are:

• Moral values - integrity, honesty, bravery
• Work values  - hard work, loyalty, positive attitude
• Monetary value - watch, clothing or item of jewellery
• Cultural values - family traditions, celebrations
