Value are culturally defined standards or principles that are widely shared by members of a society or group and serve as broad guidelines for social living, indicating what people assess as desirable, good, beautiful, right, or important. Value provide a moral compass for behaviour, influencing people's attitudes, choices, and actions across various aspects of life, and they often form the basis for social norms, which are more specific rules and expectations for behaviour. Value can vary significantly across different cultures and can change over time within a society, reflecting evolving beliefs and priorities. They play a crucial role in shaping social cohesion, cultural identity, and the overall character of a society, and they are often transmitted from one generation to the next through the process of socialisation.
