Values

REPORT

Through this role play we want to show some of the values that nowadays society lacks the most of. When we do the opposite of a value is called anti values and we are also going to give some examples of them.

But first of all what are values? Values are Important and lasting beliefs or ideals shared by the members of a culture about what is good or bad and desirable or undesirable. Values have major influence on a person's behavior and attitude and serve as broad guidelines in all situations. Some common business values are fairness, innovation and community involvement.

What are anti-values?

The values we are going to represent through our role play are: honesty, kindness and courtesy.

Honesty

Honesty can be interpreted in two ways by what we say or by how we act. Honesty is speaking with the truth. Lying is not honest (also called dishonest) because you are saying something that isn't true.

Examples of this form of honesty include:

Honesty means you don't say things about people that aren't true. You are not being honest if you make up rumors about someone.

Being honest means you admit to your actions, even if you'll get in trouble. You are not being honest if deny you did something wrong when you really did it.

Honesty means you explain how a situation really happened. You are not being honest if you say something happened one way when it really happened another way.

Honesty by the way you act is when you do something you know is morally wrong, or when you have to hide your actions because you know they are wrong, you are not being honest. Being honest means you act in a way that you know is the right thing to do.

This part of the definition of honesty includes not hiding the truth (deceiving), not breaking rules to gain an advantage (cheating), and not taking something that isn't yours (stealing) and any other action that you would hide because it is against what you consider morally right.

Kindness

Kindness is the act or the state of being kind, being marked by good and charitable behavior, pleasant disposition, and concern for others. It is known as a virtue, and recognized as a value in many cultures and religions

However, that the definition can be extended and better encompassed by the Australian Kindness Movement which states "an act of kindness is a message from one heart to another, an act of love, an unspoken "I care" statement".
