HOW HUMAN VALUES EVOLVED IN RELATION WITH ENERGY
Description
Social values are cultural standards that indicate the general good deemed desirable organised social life. These are assumptions on what is right and important for society. They provide the ultimate meaning and legitimacy for social arrangements and social behaviour. They are the abstract sentiments or ideals. The importance of such values in social life can hardly be exaggerated. A social value differs from individual value. An individual value is enjoyed or sought by the individual which a man seeks for himself. Even though these values are commonly shared, they do not become social values. As distinct from individual values, a social value contains a concern for others’ welfare. Social values are organised within the personality of the individuals. They regulate their thinking and behaving.
