Other Ways to
Become Involved
1.
Write down what you think are the core values that
shape the way you live your life. Would you like to make any
changes in that set of values? If so, what changes?
2.
When you watch TV, read the newspaper and magazines,
scan the Net, notice
examples of issues in which values
are involved. What values seem to be
“celebrated?"
3.
In your family, neighborhood, work, personal, and
recreation relationships note how similar or how different your
values seem to be from “theirs.” How do you feel about what you noted?
4.
Try to do business with shops, companies, and service
providers that operate with values that you respect.
5.
When you vote, take into consideration the values of
the candidates that you vote for.
6.
If you have a relationship with a school or college,
note whether values are included in what is taught there.
What would your answer be to the question, “What values are communicated in
what is taught in this institution?
7.
Ask people that you feel close enough to what the core
values are that shape the way that they live. Talk about how
your core values are similar or different.
8.
Make a list of those you know or know of that
effectively express the kind of values that you respect. Note what
you can learn from their examples.
9.
When you observe or are involved in a situation in
which values are important, comment or raise questions that
will underscore their importance.
