2. Definition & Meaning Of Value Education DEFINITION:- In the words of John Dewey (1966), “Value education  means primarily to prize to esteem to .  appraise, holding it dear and also the act of passing judgment upon the nature and amount of .  its value as compared with something else ”. Meaning:- Value education is the aggregate of all the process by means of which a person develops abilities, attitudes and other forms of behaviour of the positive values in the societies in which he lives.

3. Human values Human values are the virtues that  guide us to take into account the human element when we interact with other human beings . Human values are, for example, respect, acceptance, consideration, appreciation, listening, openness, affection, empathy and love towards other human beings. Human values are closely related with human life. No human life is possible without values. Human Values are those universal concepts, drivers of action which are found in all cultures, all societies, all times and in all places where human beings eke out their lives. Human values have an inherent energy and dynamism. Human values do not follow the laws of physical science. They cannot be depleted. Normally, when we spend energy our resources we become drained of energy to the extent of our expenditure. But human values multiply as they are applied, used, expressed and acted out. They benefit both the giver and the recipient

4. Truthfulness :- Honesty  - a moral character of a human being, related to telling the truth Accuracy  - the propensity of information to be correct Strategyproofness  - a property of a  mechanism  in game-theory, related to encouraging the participants to act according to their true preferences . Constructive values:- Widespread recognition is currently given to the importance of identifying constructive values as a guide to formulation of policy and action programmes in response to problems. Indeed it may be argued that such problems are only perceptible in the light of the values they infringe. Specific values are frequently cited in political discourse as a rallying focus around which people may be incited to action.

5. SACRIFICE:- The intrinsic value of sacrifices is explained by the recursive account of value: sacrifices are  intrinsically good  if and because they are appropriate responses to intrinsic values, and appropriate responses to intrinsic values are themselves intrinsically good SINCERITY:- Sincerity is  a mix of seriousness and honesty . If you do things with sincerity, people will trust you. Along with patience and compassion, sincerity is one of those qualities we all probably wish we had more of — and wish other people had more of, too. People who show sincerity are being serious, kind, and truthful.   SELF-RESILIENCE:- Self-resiliency provides a healthy, practical mind-heart-body-and spirit approach that enhances how we deal with situations, challenges, confidence, creativity, changes, and focus. Some of the benefits of being self-resilient are:  Interpersonal and influencing skills . ALTRUISM:- Altruism (also called the ethic of altruism, moralistic altruism, and ethical altruism) is an ethical doctrine that  holds that the moral value of an individual's actions depends solely on the impact on other individuals, regardless of the consequences on the individual  him- or herself. EGOISM:- Egoism  is the philosophy concerned with the role of the  self , or  ego , as the motivation and goal of one's own action. Different theories on egoism encompass a range of disparate ideas and can generally be categorized into  descriptive  or  normative  forms.  

6. Scientific and Educational Objectives :  Our scientific goal, to either extend the boundary of the current knowledge or to rebuild foundational new knowledge using scientific methods outlined in the preceding paragraph, enhances the educational objectives, which are to train the next generation of scientists who would know how to formulate questions, identify and analyze problems, and develop solutions to advance knowledge in polymer science and engineering. 9.RELEVANCY OF HUMAN VALUES TO GOOD LIFE Our values are important  because they help us to grow and develop . They help us to create the future we want to experience. ... The decisions we make are a reflection of our values and beliefs, and they are always directed towards a specific purpose. Basic human values refer to those values which are at the core of being human. The values which are considered basic inherent values in humans include  truth, honesty, loyalty, love, peace, etc . because they bring out the fundamental goodness of human beings and society at large.

7. CHARACTER FORMATION TOWARDS POSITIVE PERSONOLITY :- Character plays an essential role in Personality Development Remember personality development is not only about looking good and wearing expensive brands. It is also about developing one’s inner self and being a good human being. A person with a good character finds acceptance wherever he goes and respected by all . Character includes traits such as: Honesty Leadership Trust Courage Patience An individual with a good character would in turn have a good personality . If you are extremely good looking but do not know how to behave, don’t be surprised if you are ignored by others.  Nothing is more important than your character and moral values . Never cheat others. Remember, life is nothing without ethics and values.

8. MODERN CHALLENGES OF ADOLESCENT Adolescence is a phase when children go through several changes as they journey from childhood to maturity. It is also a vulnerable time for children since they may experience several problems of adolescence, such as unhealthy behaviours, which may lead to significant problems later in life. Concerns about adolescent behaviour are also common during this time, making it difficult for parents to connect with their children. Adolescence is not an easy time for children or parents. The only way to deal with needs and problems at this age is to know about them and be ready to face them. Parent-adolescent conflicts that cause insecure and unstable feelings have a linear association with pubertal maturity. Understanding and dealing with these conflicts positively could help your child be more responsible and social

9. Emotional changes and problems Hormones affect your teenager not only physically but also emotionally. Adolescence is the age between adulthood and childhood. Teenagers are often confused about their role and are torn between their responsibilities as growing adults and their desires as children. They tend to feel overly emotional (blame it on the hormones). Just about anything and everything can make them happy, excited, mad or angry. Adolescent girls are vulnerable to crying. Mood swings are common among teenage boys and girls. Bodily changes result in self-consciousness. Children who hit puberty early may even feel weird. Feelings of inferiority or superiority may arise at this time. Adolescence is the age when sexual feelings arise in youngsters. Feelings and thoughts about sex can trigger a sense of guilt.

10. Behavioural changes overwhelming emotions can lead to impulsive behaviour, which can be harmful to your child as well as others. Mostly, it is just teen behaviour that will last as long as their adolescence. Adolescence is the time when children develop and exercise their independence. This can give rise to questioning the parents’ rules (seen as argumentative) and standing up for what they believe is right (seen as stubbornness). Significant developmental change in the brain makes teens moody, tired and difficult to deal with. The raging hormones in teenage boys can even push them to get into physical confrontations. They would also want to listen to loud music. As a part of their new-found independence, adolescents may also want to try new things and take risks, resulting in careless behaviour. Sometimes,  peer pressure  and the need to ‘fit in’ can make them behave in a certain way or develop certain habits that are hard to break. Your teen’s dressing, hairstyle, and sense of fashion also change, mostly to something that you may not approve of. The most troubling behaviour is perhaps your teen hanging out with problem children and adapting to a dangerous lifestyle. Lying is one of the common teen behavioural issues. Teens may lie to avoid confrontation with parents or out of fear.

11. Self Analysis:- It is a process where a person attempts to know and understand oneself in order to explore possible changes which can be implied in one's character, personality and motives. Introspection:- It is  self-examination, analyzing yourself, looking at your own personality and actions , and considering your own motivations. An example of introspection is when you meditate to try to understand your feelings.

12. SENSITIZATION TOWARDS GENDER EQUALITY Gender sensitization refers to the raising sensitization of gender equality concerns. It helps people in examining their personal attitudes and beliefs and questioning the realities of both sexes. Gender sensitization make people understand the difference between sex and gender, how gender is socially constructed and the stereotypes around gender roles It helps them determine which assumptions in matters of gender are valid and which are stereotyped. Need of gender sensitization is to create awareness among the working professionals about the importance of gender sensitivity in organization. Without being sensitive to the needs of a particular gender, an individual may refrain from understanding the opposite gender. Gender is Socially Learned behaviour, based on social expectation from Men & Women. The women and children are most vulnerable group of this situation. And it’s the undue pressure on Boys & Girls to live up to the established norms of Masculinity & femininity. Girls endure unwarranted social control, discrimination & domination. Boys discouraged from being emotional, gentle or fearful. Gender Sensitization gives a clear and precise view about Gender and help to understand that GENDER is not about “Women” it’s about “People”.

13. PHYSICAL CHALLENGED:- A  physical disability  is a limitation on a person's physical functioning, mobility, dexterity or stamina. [1]  Other physical  disabilities  include impairments which limit other facets of  daily living , such as  respiratory disorders ,  blindness ,  epilepsy [2]  and  sleep disorders . Intellectual disability (ID):- once called mental retardation, is characterized by below-average intelligence or mental ability and a lack of skills necessary for day-to-day living. People with intellectual disabilities can and do learn new skills, but they learn them more slowly. There are varying degrees of intellectual disability, from mild to profound. The term "mental retardation" is no longer used, as it's offensive and has a negative tone.

14. Respect To Age:- While respect for seniors is mostly healthy in many cities and communities, negative preconceptions of ageing still exist. There is a need to facilitate intergenerational interactions to dispel such notions. Education about ageing should also begin early to raise awareness on ageing and associated issues, so that people learn to appreciate their elderly. Respect to family members:- FAMIILY Is the basic or the most fundamental unit in any society. Sociologists and anthropologists define the family as a group of people who are united by ties of marriage, ancestry or adoption.   COMMUNICATION Is the process of sharing information, thoughts, ideas, or feeling. It happens whenever you use words, sounds, gestures, or body movements to interact with other members of the family. IMPORTANCE OF FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS 1. Provide love, protection, and guidance. 2.Help to build your confidence and self- esteem. 3.Provide a sense of belonging and independence.   DIFFERENT WAYS TO ENSURE A PEACEFUL AND A HAPPY FAMILY LIFE 1. Hold family meetings. Discuss some family rules and important issues, make plans together and suggest improvements. 2. Help and support one another , especially when problems arise. 3. Respect one another. Positive attitudes and good manners for smooth sailing in the family. Children should respect their parents ‘ decisions.  4. Respect each other’s belongings. Always asks permission if you borrow something. 5. Every member of the family should care for each other. 6.

15. Respect To Experience And Co-workers Treat people with courtesy, politeness, and kindness. Encourage co-workers to express opinions and ideas. Listen to what others have to say before expressing your viewpoint. Never speak over or interrupt another person. Listen and stop formulating rebuttals and responses in your mind when you need to focus on listening to the other person. Use peoples' ideas  to change or improve work . Let employees know that you used their idea or encourage them to implement it. Never insult, use name-calling, disparage, or belittle people or their ideas. Do not constantly criticize, judge, demean, or patronize a worker. A series of seemingly trivial actions added up over time constitutes  bullying . Be  aware of your body language , tone of voice, and your expression in all of your interactions at work. Treat employees fairly and equally. Treating people differently can constitute  harassment ,  discrimination , or a  hostile work environment . Include all co-workers in meetings, discussions, training, and events. While not every person can participate in every activity, do not marginalize, exclude or  leave out any one person . Provide an equal opportunity for employees to participate in committees, task forces, or  continuous improvement teams . Solicit volunteers and try to involve everyone. Offer praise more frequently . Encourage praise and  recognition among employees , as well as from supervisors.

16. RESPECT TO NEIGHBOURS Observe and respect your neighbour's personal space. Be mindful if you borrow anything. ... Don't be the neighbourhood gossip. If you have an issue with a neighbour, go directly to that person and discuss it in an adult manner. Not everyone is a dog or cat lover, so show responsibility for your pets. Greet your neighbours: Demonstrate an interest in them. Make an effort to meet them and learn their names. Get involved with your neighbourhood: Be an active member of your community. Lend a hand: Your neighbours will appreciate any help you offer, so look out for opportunities to lend a hand.
