Life Values Assessment

List: 1. Enjoyment 2.  Independence 3.  Friendship 4. Creativity 5.  Health

Today I went to supermarket to buy food and daily supply since it is Sunday. I think location, service and health can represent what I did today. For location, I always shop the nearest supermarket. Also, the market needs to have good service and the foods there need to  be healthy so that I am willing to go.

According to my list, I do feel enjoyable after I shop and I always go alone which present independence. Also, I always buy drinks for my roommate and it is where friendship come out. For creativity, sometimes I need to cook food in different way and I do need to be creativity to make this happen. Finally, the food still need to be healthy so that I am willing to buy and eat.

I have a good personality. So I usually do enjoy what I do. And I learn creativity from my mom who taught me how to cook well. I try to be independence because it is the way to live in a society. I always try to be healthy because if my body don’t last, I can’t do the things I like.

A question of Value

After reading this article, I find out myself being attracted by this topic. How do we choose our values? And why does it matter? Lewis who is the author of “A Question of Values”, shows readers the connection between value and human behavior. People usually decide to do one thing because it’s worthy to do. This is where the value comes out. We evaluate one thing before we proceed on it. The idea can be presented in questions : What is the good if I do the work or do I enjoy to do this thing, because people always think  the benefit before they do the work. If there is nothing good, nor it is the right thing to do, people usually don’t do these things. For example, people come to collage because they can get a better education so they can earn more which improves their future life quality. This is a logic value. However, if some people felt already satisfied of their life and they don’t want to invest more time or money to get a better a life, then most likely they will not go to collage.

The four small concept of value from “A Question of values” : sense experience, deductive logic, emotion and intuition, these things can be concluded as how people feel and is it logic to the people who define this value.  These four concept also come with an order. Before doing the thing, experience will tell you if you face this situation before which leads to a question of is this thing sounds right to do.  This is the  process of logical thoughts and intuitional feelings. The value of a thing can be really unique because different people have different logical thoughts, their life experience could be so different which makes them define value in an unique way. People always have friends with same value on some thing and companies hire the people with the same value as the company does. This world is fulfilled with value and people who have similar value usually stick together.
