Value Orientation

Different people espouse different values in their daily interaction
The core principles that people adopt provide them a sense of direction
The differentiation may be a function of beliefs transmitted across generation
Many people do attempt to change their inherited legacy and develop a new orientation

Some people believe they can dominate the environment to make it fit to their needs
Others believe that destiny guides life and they need to live in harmony for their daily feed
Some people are guided by the past and place a high value on continuity of tradition
Others are willing to make short term compromises and live beyond a life of result orientation

Some people demonstrate a strong task focus and believe in productivity enhancement
Others believe in developing depth of relationships and work towards experience enrichment
Some people prefer to operate within a defined hierarchy that strongly powers their motivation
Others believe in equality to minimize individualism and strongly encourage democratic inclusion

Some people strongly guard their privacy and prefer a distance in daily interaction
Others believe in essential socializing and open themselves to scrutiny in group interaction
Some people prefer shared experiences and do not need to always explicitly state their opinion
Others stress on oratory skills and prefer to highlight words with meaning in their daily expression

Some people demonstrate a strong individualistic streak and stress on independence
Others believe in teamwork and collaboration and strongly stress on inter-dependence
Some people demonstrate high achievement orientation and focus on self interest
Others believe in affiliation and are willing to subordinate their desires to group interest

Some people need a high level of structure and have a high need for rules and order
Others are willing to tolerate conflicts and ambiguity without losing focus on the radar
Some people strongly believe in being driven by pure theory and logical orientation
Others believe in reasoning out their life basis various experiences and experimentation

Each of the values that people espouse may be time tested and had a positive impact
Many a perspective that people demonstrate may also have outlived its existential pact
One may like to argue that value conflicts degenerates culture and reduce community cohesion
Trying to prove the superiority of a given set of values over others will only increase societal tension!
