Definitions of Value
A value can be defined as a conception, explicit or implicit, distinctive of an individual or characteristic of a group, of the desirable which influences the selection from available modes, means, and ends of action.
As is pointed out by Hofstede,values are feelings with arrows to them: each has a plus and a minus pole.
Value deals with such things as the following: evil versus good, dirty versus clean, ugly versus beautiful, paradoxical versus logical, irrational versus rational, and moral versus immoral (2001).
