2. ETHICS MORAL Morals are the standards, norms and principles for right and wrong concepts. They are standards that help to guide our behaviour. The issues relate to these standards are based on science and tech. In other words these are scientific standards developed by the society . Morality The word morality is derived from the Latin word “mores”, meaning custom, habit, and way Of life. It typically describes what is good, right, or proper.

3. VALUES *The sense of value is an essential attribute of the human consciousness. The word 'value' expresses the qualitative significance we assign to ideas, feeling , activities and experiences . *Value are the evaluative standards we use for deciding what is right and what is wrong, what is good and what is bad, what is desirable and what is undesirable? * The quality of living space we create for ourselves is determined by our system of value . *Values are the rules by which we make decisions about right and wrong , should or shouldn't, and good or bad.

4. Values mean an in-built mechanism that distinguishes the right from the wrong. This should be interpreted in the context of the social environment in which an person lives, moves and rests. Values are the essence of life. Values are like the building blocks which are used to form a firm structure. The building blocks are set into position by several workers to construct a building . In the same way, the values inherited from family, society, environment, culture and other influencing factors, if rightly placed and then they rise up a firm individual . Values serve the process of 'becoming', in the sense of transformation of the level of consciousness to purer, higher levels. Values are subjective while skills are objective .

5. Values provide us with a unique, personal and moral template that we use subconsciously to assess and judge the intentions and actions of others and ourselves, and the importance of the likely outcome of various actions and reactions. Values are something we qualify as 'good' and are prepared to set as our goals in life, The concept of values describes that part of our goals which is not immediately necessary for survival. When two different goals come into conflict, we call for a higher goal or a value which we choose to resolve the conflict. A value is defined as "a principle that promotes well-being or prevents harm." Values are the scales we use to weigh our choices for our actions, whether to move towards or away from something.

6. Sources of values There are many sources of values, Parents and family Teachers and classmates Peer groups and friends Reference groups Culture and tradition
