Values Formation Through Community Service

All Filipino parents hope to pass on to their children the values and words of wisdom that have been passed to them. They can do a, lot of things for their value formation.

But, no matter how much the parents would like to inculcate to them the positive or right values, their environment could influence their children since VALUES ARE CAUGHT AND NOT TAUGHT. Whatever we have :learned at home, in school and in the environment are internalized. (Within ourselves)

What if some of us have learned negative ones? Values Transformation comes in. So, what is now the role of the NSTP and environment in the value transformation of our youths.

Values are said to be worth the importance we attach to different factors in our lives. The word values -comes from a the Latin word "valere" which means to measure the worth of something. These are ideas and norms man considers relevant and good. Max Scheler (1874-1928) is the foremost exponent of axiology. Axiology is defined as the philosophical science and values.

A VALUE HAS BEEN DEFINED AS ANY OBJECT ACTIVITY OR FRAME OF MIND THAT A PERSON CONSIDERS TO BE VERY IMPORTANT TO HIS OR HER LIFE. Unlike attitudes, values come in, as an unconscious list of priorities. All of our values taken together are called a VALUE SYSTEM which exist not only on an individual level, but on an organization-wide level as well. Hence, the community where your NSTP Students will be assigned could greatly contribute to their values transformation. A CORPORATE CULTURE is a system of values shared throughout any given place or organization.

Values are especially important to understanding human behavior. Conflicts between them are often based on differences in values. When you seem to be at odds with another person, take a look at how your basic values differ. And when you seem in conflict with the members of the group, examine the group's value system against your own.

Values education is founded on a sound philosophy of the human person with all its philosophical ramifications and implications. The supreme and. overarching value that characterizes education is HUMAN DIGNITY
