Values are beliefs that people have about what is important or worthwhile to them. Values influence behavior because people seek more of what they value. Values therefore can be seen as the guideposts for behavior. An individual’s values are in large part, derived from the social environment in which he or she lives. For example, in Western democracies, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are some of the things we value. Similarly, our home life, our friends, and fraternal societies we join, experiences obtaining an education, and the companies we work for, may influence our value frameworks (Crossan, M., Gandz, J., & Seijts, G., 2012).…
Proserpina was terrified as she entered Pluto’s world. Everything was so dark and cold, and she felt very lonely. She missed her mother terribly and all she kept thinking is how she disobeyed her mother and what would’ve happened if she would’ve just listened. As she rode beside Pluto in his chariot she looked around. Everything was grey. The trees had no leaves, and the sky had no color. It was a complete wasteland. The entire world looked like it had caught on fire, yet it was so cold. She noticed a small river and asked Pluto about it. Pluto told her that if she drinks from it then she would forget everything. Proserpina was not happy about this, she swore to never drink from it no matter how thirsty she was. She also noticed that Pluto…

Over time, as the slaves grew more displeased with their lives, many decided to run away and escape to symbolize that they were unhappy. Others slowed down production by faking illnesses, breaking tools and other things such as accidently burning the barn and foot-dragging. An example of foot-dragging is that when a slave is ordered to bring a bush of cotton to their owner, the slave would purposely drag their feet and take their time, thus slowing down the process of production. Slaves would also “fix” their masters meals by adding a secret ingredient. An example of this is that when a slave is serving any meal in general, they would spit onto their owners’ food before placing it onto the dining table.…

“Values motivate people to work together collectively. Values are like ever-receding or never-ending goals. The higher the values, the more the energy and effort required to achieve and sustain them. The more they pursue them, the greater the energy they release, and put into action” (Posner, n.d., para. 2).…

Laughter is important for both human emotional and mental health and it can play a helpful and healing role in parenting and family life. Laughing is one of the healthiest things one can do when confronted with the major stresses and emotional pains in life. The human capacity to laugh is significant and to understand our laughter is to go a long way toward understanding our humanity. Laughter has not always received the positive coloring it regularly enjoys in today's free societies. Laughter is a malicious response to the ignorance of others, and a principled individual must avoid such a hateful response to the faults of others(Grunberg, 2011).…
There is a serious new problem in the most environments, and it has nothing to do with crime, employment or finance. Instead, it is the problem of distinct generations attempting to work together and often colliding as their paths cross. Individuals with different values, different ideas, different ways of getting things done and different ways of communicating in every area of society have always existed. So, why is this becoming a problem now? The definition of value chosen for this purpose was illustrated by Schwartz, “desirable, trans-situational goals, varying in importance that serves as guiding principles in people’s lives” (2006,). In other words, values are motives formed from people attitudes or desirable concept that guides their behavior.…
