INTRODUCTION :- Values are those things which defines people.It is their reliance or thoughts which reflect through their values.It plays a very important part in the life of an individual.Values of an individual can be of two types,as such they can either be individualistic or collective values.Apart from this there could be one more form of value which could be the combination of both the specific type of value which are sometime found in people.
INDIVIDUALISTIC AND COLLECTIVE VALUE
Individualistic and collective values are completely opposite of each other.It can be state from the fact where individual values lays emphasis on the personal self,that is person having these kinds of values primarily thinks about their own individual self,and the things related to them as such their liberty and their development.They do not like depend on others,hence they are mostly independent regarding their livelihood and about the decisions of the their life.On the contrary,the collective values are polar opposite to it,in which the person concern,is either depending on the others for their life,or other than that,there are even condition where they think about the people close to him and their views regarding anything in life.This is mostly due to the fact of respect.As such an example of it,an individual seeking the views of his parents before taking any important decision in life,rather doing it on own.
MY VALUES
My values are basically a mixture of both these values such as individual as well as collective.It can be said that i do like my liberty and being independent,but at the same time the opinion and thoughts of my elders matters to me the most.Even though i am completely independent,for doing the things in life,yet i somehow depend on my family for their support,and even stands with them all the time.So,as such i can say my values are combination of both these types of values.
ISSUE THAT I AM PASSIONATE ABOUT
Issue that i am most passionate about is the lack of education.It is so because that i feel it is one of the biggest issue which needs to be resolved for the development of individual as well as society.It is education only,that can ultimately contribute in solving all the other lying issues in the society.In other words,we can say when a person is educated,he will more effectively understand the difference between right and wrong of his deeds,and even the consequence of any of his behavior.Education is the best way to change the society for the betterment.The more people are educated the more positive change we can get in our life.It can clearly change the perception of an individual in the most positive manner.So,according to me education is the solution to all the problem as it will make them realize their fault and such numerous issues that we are facing as such gender inequality or racism etc can be solved.
In order to positively work for the issue all i can do is to provide a source of learning to those people who are being deprived of education.Make them aware of the government schemes regarding the education of children.And most importantly,teach them and provide classes so that they could get basic learning if they somehow are not able to join any school.
