Human Values and Community Outreach
Introduction: Human civilization is known for the values that it cherishes and practices. Human values are values that human beings enshrine and hold in common consciously and otherwise in most of the places and times and practice them. Human values are indispensable steps in the odyssey of transformational learning and life of happiness and greatness. Values in a human being get established in early childhood but value awareness, ethical awareness and reasoning skills in favour of value-based and ethical decisions can be improved throughout life. Human values have been employed in specifically diverse ways in human discourse.
It is often said that a person has a value or an object has a value. These two usages have been explicitly recognized by writers in various disciplines such as Charles Mortris in Philosophy, Brevster Smith in Psychology and Robin Williams in Sociology. Human values are mankind’s deepest moral aspirations and form the foundation of human culture and lives as individuals and as societies. The need is to inculcate and practice them consciously to be a good human so that he/she can realize his/her potentials as a human being. Values are to be learned through practices.
Apart from internalizing sound human values to be a good citizen, values must be applied in various sectors. According to findings of “A New Vision of Values-Connecting Corporate and Societal Value Creation” highlights the need for aligning the institutional value creation to value creation of society as a whole.
