Types of Values
1. Appetitive Value (Survival Values)
This refers to the desirable nature of food and
water that satisfies one's hunger or thirst. Also Known
as surviva1 value, appetitive value is necessary for
individual survival. A person is motivated to work hard
and to make sacrifices for the sake of this value. For
unless one can produce the value of food and water, one
may not appreciate other types of values.
In no case it is our intention to justify wrong
doings perpetrated by people, but only to point out
certain reasons why evil acts, under favorable
circumstances are committed. One can also understand
here why value preferences vary from one person to
another, depending upon their own individual needs and
living conditions.
3. Aesthetic Value
This satisfies an individual’s aesthetic desire of
one’s disinterested feeling of beholding a beautiful
things or scenery and appreciating a work of art. Leonard
da Vinci’s Mona Liza for example possesses an aesthetic
value that overwhelm a beholder, in the same way that
the beautiful scene of the sun setting at manila bay
bedazzles and charms a curious in town.
Aesthetic value is so unique in itself that is
characterized by the feeling of wonder and disinterested
as distinguished from appetitive and sensuous values
which coupled with the desire or wish to own the source
of its value itself. Appreciating human anatomy, for
instance that is, a human being in the nude, as the
greatest masterpiece, obra maestro of the creator, as
the greatest wonder, the wonder of all wonder in the
world, one is we inspired and delighted by the marvelous
ingenuity of divine engineering and architecture that
dwarf all types of hi-tech inventions of modern science
and technology.
4. Intellectual Value
This fulfills an individual's desire. Being the
only animal gifted with reason, man desires to know. He
is intellectually curious to discover the reason,
causes, and explanations of natural occurrences. In
fact, his rational nature makes him wonder and restless,
bored and anxious, in as much as he is meaning conscious.
His innate desire to know prompts him to know why he is
born, suffers and dies.
Intellectual values is best exemplified by
education which assumes a very high priority in the value
oi system of the Filipinos. The Filipino is known for
his love of learning.
5. Moral Value
Moral value relates to conduct or character viewed
from the concept of right and wrong. This marks the big
difference between human being and an animal. Morality
makes human being act as a human being and its lack of
it’s an animal act as animal.
This truism makes morality a blessing as wel1
as a curse to man; a blessing, precisely because
as has been said, only man is oral and so
he is supposed to act morally (as expected to
him), man becomes less human and even worse than an
animal that lacks morality.
Clearly enough moral value can either make or
unmake in individual; it can either foster or destroy
any human relationship.
6. Spiritual Values (Values of Love)
Corresponds to our spiritual feelings such and
those marked or characterized by the highest qualities
of that human mind. The spiritual act of love is a value
that binds people together and makes life meaningful and
worth living. Without the value of love, no human being
can survive, both biologically and individually. Through
love we realize that we need each other not only for a
meaningful existence but, most of all, for survival as
well.
The spiritual value of love reveals each other's
value to other. In unfolds either one’s worth or lack of
it to another person. As a woman realizes the value of
the man she loves, the man who loves her also recognizes
her value to him. Neither one nor the other becomes an
object level of existence and realize their value of
love both mutually realize themselves as persons with
their own dignity and freedom.
