3. Everyone has a philosophy, and
your philosophy is what you
believe, your thoughts, your
ideals, your eternal pursuit of
truth and wisdom. As we think,
we live; and how we live may be
a pretty good indication of how
we think.
- Albert A. Montapert

5. A belief is an internal feeling that
something is true, even though that belief
may be unproven or irrational.
eg: I believe that walking
under a ladder brings bad luck,
or I believe that there is life
after death.
6. • Beliefs are assumptions or convictions
you hold as true about something,
concept or person based on:
Values
Attitudes
7. Beliefs are the convictions that we generally
hold to be true, usually without actual proof or
evidence.
Beliefs are basically assumptions that we make about
the world and our values stem from those beliefs.
Our beliefs grow from what we see, hear, experience,
read and think about. From these things we develop an
opinion that we hold to be true and unmovable at that
time. From our beliefs we derive our values, which can
either be correct or incorrect when compared with
evidence, but nonetheless hold true for us.
8. IDEAS WHERE OUR BELIEFS
COME FROM
* CULTURE
* PEERS
* EDUCATION
* EXPERIENCES
* MENTORS
9. WHAT IS VALUES?
A value is a measure of the worth or
importance a person attaches to something;
our values are often reflected in the way we
live our lives.

individual or society that influences
behavior
11. WHAT IS VALUES?

qualities that an individual or group of
people hold in high regard.
13. Where do values came from?
Our values come from a variety of
sources. Some of these include:
•family

roles)

significant financial losses and so
on)

widely shared amongst a group, community
or culture. They are passed on through
sources such as the media, institutions,
religious organizations or family, but
remember what is considered dominant in
one culture or society will vary to the next.
15. What is important here is your ability to be able
to identify the values that are important to you.
It is important to be conscious of our values. This
knowledge helps us to:
•ask ourselves why we are doing what we
are doing
•identify the consequences of our actions for
ourselves and others (including clients and
co-workers)
•consider other and better options if
necessary.
16. It is very important that you develop an awareness of what you
value, as these values will be important in informing youur
relationship with people.
Read the following scenarios and
rate your reactions which best
defines you.

behavior
29. There are three types of behavior
patterns people exhibit when interacting
with others:
1.Passive
2.Aggressive
3.Assertive
30. Passive Behavior involves saying nothing in a
response, keeping feelings to yourself, hiding
feelings from others, and perhaps even
hiding your feelings from yourself. Passive
behavior is often dishonest and involves
letting other people violate your personal
right to be treated with respect and dignity.
31. Assertive behavior involves describing your feelings,
thoughts, opinions, and preferences directly to another
person in an honest and appropriate way that respects both
you and the other person. It enables you to act in your own
best interests, to stand up for yourself without undue
anxiety, to express honest feelings comfortably, and to
exercise personal rights without denying the rights of others.
Assertive behavior is direct, honest, self-enhancing self-
expression that is not hurtful to others and is appropriate for
the receiver and the situation
32. Aggressive Behavior involves expressing
your feelings indirectly through insults,
sarcasm, labels, put-downs, and hostile
statements and actions. Aggressive behavior
involves expressing thoughts, feelings, and
opinions in a way that violates others’ rights
to be treated with respect and dignity.

35. The diagram below
illustrates the influences
on us that result in our
behaviour and whether
that resulting behaviour
is ethical. The diagram
first outlines the sources
of our beliefs. It then
shows the relationship
between the beliefs and
values to our attitudes
and our resulting
behaviour.
36. Exercise
Louisa was five months pregnant
She had delayed making a decision
concerning her pregnancy because, at
seventeen, she did not think she was
capable of carrying out the responsibilities
of motherhood alone, and yet she was
under pressure from her friend, Joe, who
was the father, to have the child. Louisa
had absolutely no desire to marry Joe; she
was sure that they would be unable to live
together.
37. Joe had previously told her that he
was sterile, which proved to be
untrue. When Louisa became
pregnant, he offered to marry her.
Joe loves children and wants a child.
When Louisa finally decided to have
an abortion, Joe arranged for Judge
Robins to sign a restraining order
against her.
38. On the advice of her best friend,
Anne, Louisa had the abortion
anyway. Dr. Presley, who knowingly
violated the restraining order,
performed it. Joe filed charges
against Louisa and the doctor. Judge
Robins fined Dr. Pressley for
contempt of court, but pardoned
Louisa because she was a minor.
