Each society wants that its children
acquire a desirable set of values. The goal of education in every country is
the development of desirable values. Evidently, it is important to know as to
what values are held by its school students. What kind of values do they
possess? Such a knowledge is essential to design curricular experiences for the
achievement of the objectives of education which the society wants to
formulate. We see today the
disintegration in society. One of the reasons for the disintegration is
conflicting values, ground. If we go through history we find that the society
is changing rapidly. The impact of the West has brought about changes in it.
The Western ways of thinking, dressing and behavior influenced the Indians.
This impact of still seen in every big society. It is rather increasing.
Values have social, psychological,
economic, spiritual and philosophical aspects. They have a wide impact. Not a
single vital action in life of a human being can be said to be valueless. Thus
if values are good, life will be peaceful and useful, if values are
undesirable, life will be burdensome and unwanted.
