________________ properties or qualities on the basis of which we tend to assume why some articles are good/beautiful and others are bad or ugly. Whenever we choose to reform an act we do so because (1) we have decided that is the right thing to do, it is what we ought to do, it is a claim which we acknowledge or (2) we choose it because of all available alternatives, it is the best thing to do, it will lead to more satisfying consequences. Questions of 'right' and 'ought' are distinctly moral questions. Question of better and worse are not always moral questions but may be raised about any type of value aesthetic, economic, recreational or social. This means we ought to choose the greatest value in any field, that we have a moral duty to realise the maximum of value. Moral - ethical values are generalised guides by which individuals judge the reasonableness and appropriateness of their relationships with mankind. They include honesty, kindness, loyalty, fair play, respect for property of others, respect for human life.

Within each value area there can be a set of priorities and there can be set of priorities among the values areas. (2) Deliberation: It is the process of selecting among value alternatives. It uses knowledge already acquired knowledge of both fact and value. Value education has two components (1) Test outcome-refers to a behaviour sample that tells us whether the instruction just completed by the school has been successful (2) Life outcome-refers to a style of behaviours in which a person acts his daily activities in a distinctive way.
