Values
Values is culturally defined standards by which people judge desirability, goodness and beauty and which serve as broad guidelines for social living as well as public policies. Values have a major influence on a person behaviour and attitude. There are many types of values people believe in such as family, moral and traditional values.
I have many different values one which is manners this is mostly a family value for me as I have been brought up to be polite and respect the people around me, this could also be considered as a traditional value. Another thing I value is happiness this is a personal value for me, I believe in being happy as much as you can and to keep a positive mind set, happiness is also a key factor in helping me get through the tough times that I face through-out my life.

Genuineness is about showing the person that you accept them and
