Answer 1

Value can be defined as the degree of importance of some thing or action, with the aim of determining what actions are best to do or what way is best to live.

Personal values are the general expression of what is most important for you. I value the most is my family because they encourage and motivate me to take up new challenges and help me to reach my goal.

In my society, everyone respect each other irrespective of their religion,caste, status and their beliefs. People stay connected to each other and value their family and has the freedom to make right choices.

I have given the freedom to make my own choices but yet i always see to that i do dicuss with my family.

I always take up my choices based on my values.

societal value should include values which is useful to the present and future generation. There should more awareness about environment and ecology and also people should find ways for financial growth, organisational growth which leads to societal growth and development.

There are so many people over 65years who are not elegible or afford insurance coverage for thier health care facility as they have a limitation of choices which is created by health care organizationsand government . Hence, I feel that the health care organization or the government can not limit people's choices.
