Values' Roots - Lhachmi Taifouri - Bog

As shown by Maslow in his well-known pyramid needs, humans have different needs levels, and there are first necessities like food, water, air, a roof, clothes without which the survival of the organism is not possible; once these needs are met, man moves to meet higher needs such as social needs, security needs or the need for self-improvement.Values are among them and are perceptions that will lead to preferential behavior; they are considered as criteria for choosing from among the behavioral alternatives available to the individual in a situation. Therefore the individual embracing certain values means expecting him to engage in behavioral activities consistent with those values.The influence of family, society, and culture makes each person unique; the values developed to define each person's priorities and lifestyle determine the individual's growth, family, society, nation, and humanity.The values of judgments acquired from social conditions that the individual imbibes and governs, and define areas of his thinking, determine his behavior and influence his learning, as he sees that social values mean the characteristics that people prefer or desire in a particular culture, and take the characteristic of generality for all individuals as they become behavior guides or are considered his goals.Therefore, each person does not follow the same path; the path taken will depend on the inherent values of the person, and these inherent values are acquired under its nature, its experiences; we, therefore, shape them through our lives and have many roots; it could be religion, or our mind, or society.
