Because people are different and value different things. The deep- rooted beliefs you have about what is desirable and good are known as “values.” Values grow from personal experiences. You have made—and will continue to make—choices based on your values. Values are not necessarily right or wrong; they express what is most important to you. Families set goals based on their values.
