The Sociological Relevance of Values

Abstract

For a long time values have been neglected under the influence of a positivist perception understanding, as something that solely expresses an individual reality, and that is of a subjective nature. But recently in sociological literature values have been focused on. It is well-known that all social structures are composed of fundamental social institutions that involves several values. Furthermore, individuals cannot control the sources of social values that are external to them. If the individuals in a society do not own several ideals and beliefs, the constitution of norms also becomes impossible. Moreover, the values never constitute a cognitive category by themselves, since they are related to values in other spheres. For the most part, values fullfill the role of independent variable in personal behaviors. In the case of a person who helping the poor, for example such action may not be motivated just by a feeling of religious duty. The study of such a behavior can also give us a map of the functioning of the sets of values.
