WHAT
IS
VALUE
?
From the latin word “valere” which
means to be strong and vigorous.
Values in a society give
meaning and direction to
every individual„s life and
influence his human
behavior.
Collectively,
the values of
a society would be the
standards or principles
for which an act is judged
to be what is right or
wrong, correct or
incorrect.
From the premise that a human person
has to have strength or valor in every
endeavor.
Ralph Barton Perry. General Theory of Value (New York:
Longsmans, Green & Co. , 1926)
“value is an existing
realization of desire.” Edgar Sheffield Brightman
“things, persons, ideas or goals
which are important to life;
anything which enables life to be
understood, evaluated, and
directed.” (Dr. Tomas Q. D.
Andres (1986) )

FAMILY AND THE FUTURE
GENERATIONS

“We can get so involved in what we are doing that we
forget why we are doing it. We are so involved in
living that we forget the purpose of living. We get
so involved in pursuing the things money can buy
that we forget about the things that money can„t
buy.”
THE VALUE OF
TRUTH

The Truth about Lies (2004)
Lies are said in the place of truth…
Why not prefer to tell the truth than settle for a lie?
There are no half-truths or white lies…
It‘s either you say the truth or tell a lie!
A million lies cannot make up a single truth…
You can never transform a lie into truth.
It‟s easier to tell the truth than tell a lie…
With the truth, you merely have to state the facts: With lies, you‘d have to cook
up a thousand alibis.
You‟ll know when your lies have caught up with you…
When you begin to believe in them as being the truth.
In the end, we find but a single truth about lie
That there is No Truth and No Good in Lies.

JUSTICE

Justice is giving every
man his due.
THE VALUE OF
EQUALITY

Each man may differ in worldly stature, but
each one bears the same amount of
dignity as another and all share one
common destiny.
THE VALUE OF PROMOTION
OF THE COMMON GOOD

The real heroes among us are those who
live their lives daily in genuine
concern for the welfare of the others.
