Multiple Choice

Which of the following are examples of different values?

Values are internal standards that guide decisions and behavior—what you consider important. They show up as beliefs about what is true or right, the priorities you place on different goals, and the fundamental principles you use to judge actions. The set that fits this idea best is beliefs, priorities, and principles. Time, money, and property are tangible assets or resources you own, not values themselves. Belonging, power, and freedom describe desired social states or outcomes, which are values people may seek, but they don’t represent the evaluative criteria that guide choices in the same way as beliefs, priorities, and principles.
