HOME ENVIRONMENT AS CONDUCIVE TO VALUE ORIENTATION

Values are in fact powerful drivers of how we think and behave and these are rules by which we make decisions about right and wrong, should and shouldn’t, good and bad. Values are integral part of personal philosophy of life which generally means the system of values by which we live. The philosophy of life includes our aims, ideas and manner of thinking, the principles by which we guide our behaviour and conduct our affairs. Different individuals differ with value pattern; likes, dislikes and interest. If the knowledge of values about individuals is obtained, values help the individuals in making personal choices keeping in view the significant role played by the values. The value of an individual is very important factor of his behaviour. They are parts of an individual’s inner feelings expressed through behaviour. Different type of values like social, theoretical, political, aesthetic, economic etc. act as a motivating force in the behaviour of an individual.Values determine the intensify and continuity of a particular human behaviour.
