12. LIFE’S PRIORITIES What makes a good life? Do you have a list of priorities for achieving it? IF you could ONLY have ONE, which one do you pick?
13. HOW DO WE KNOW THEY ARE REALLY OUR VALUES Assume you have just inherited $150 million, it will be deposited in your bank tomorrow morning, the net value after taxes will be $100 million. You have to decide how and submit a plan to spend it TOMORROW. How do you plan to develop the plan and what’s on your list of priorities? Now assume . . .
14. Do values matter? Monday Morning Choices Values Actions Relationships Most of us DON’T ASK!
15. The objective side of values Are values purely subjective or is there an objective side to value? Subjective: relating to or determined by the mind as the subject of experience; characteristic of or belonging to reality as perceivedrather than as independent of mind; phenomenal; arising out of or identified by means of one’s awareness. The subjective value is based on perception. Objective:existing independent of mind; belonging to the sensible world and being observable or verifiableespecially by scientific methods; expressing or involving the use of facts; derived from sense perception. The objective value is fact based on perception.
16. Economists and philosophers Economists and philosophers use the word “value” differently. Philosophy points out that while economics discusses value as a subjective thing, philosophy tends to address value as objective. Rights, for example, are something everybody has to have. There’s no such thing as “human rights” unless every human has them. That’s as objective as you can get. When economists say value is subjective, this means, in the philosopher’s language, that people have different tastes and preferences and people value things differently. The way to know what something is worth is to say what it is worth to someone. Right VS Wrong; Good VS Bad; Pleasing VS NOT
17. Consider real estate: which house do you buy? Our values grow out of our perceptions, just as our values will inevitably influence our perceptions.
18. Values and culture Do values differ from culture to culture? Are values reflective of some universal truth we should all ascribe to? If so, then what do we do with those who live outside our accepted framework. Descriptive relativism: presumes cultures differ in fundamental beliefs about values. Ethical relativism: presumes actions right in one culture may be wrong in another. Prescriptive relativism: presumes it is wrong to pass judgment on other cultures.
