"Values vs. the influence on the behavior of any individual"

The values are basis that let us guide our behavior according to realize ourselves as people that can coexist in harmony with individuals around. Our families teach us this fundamental beliefs that help us to choose some things over another or a behavior over another, because they want that we learn what is right and what is wrong, so in the future we can differentiate them (good and bad) and this will convert us in mature and responsible citizens.

The values are translated in thoughts, concepts or ideas, but the most important is the behavior. A valuable person is someone who lives according with the values in that they believe (respect, honesty, solidarity, fellowship, etc.) These pillars are the basis to live in community and relate to other people. Also, they can regulate our behavior with other person and life situations for the collective welfare and  harmonious coexistence. Sometimes we related the values with rules and standards of behavior, but they are decisions. Namely, we decide to act in one way and not another based on what is important for us as value.

In my opinion, values are a very important part of our lifes because they are the basis of  our citizenship education. Finally, the values are fundamental pillar of a healthy society.
