Value Systems and Routines

Family values

This type of values ??is related to the experience of belonging to a family. With the establishment of the strong affective bonds that characterize the family, there are also values ??used to put in the way in which we do not relate to the other members of the family.

For example, respect for the elderly may be very present in one family, while in another the value of "protection of the weak" may be higher than what makes grandfather or grandmother treat with greater paternalism.

Family values ??are the set of beliefs, principles, customs, respectful relationships, and displays of affection that are transmitted through generations.

The family is the foundation of every society. The first moral, personal and social values ??are learned at home through the teachings that parents transmit to their children and which in turn were taught by their grandparents, siblings, uncles and other relatives or loved ones.

Personal values

This type of values ??is defined by being applied in the day to day through the simplest actions and, especially, through habits. Consequently, personal values ??are characterized by applying practically to all areas and contexts of life, they are not limited to a single place or type of activity.

For example, respect for a son or daughter is usually a personal value, since it is valid in all contexts, but innovation is not usually, since under certain conditions it can be relegated without special internal conflicts.

Personal values ??reflect the internal needs of each person, their desires and what to consider important. They are part of the behavioral parameters that individuals have and that they consider correct.

Religious values

Religious values ??are tied to a belief system based on the faith of a particular religion. By definition, religions include a system of symbols, religious dogma and certain rituals shared by several people, so that religious values ??are also related to this social factor by which some believers influence the decisions and evaluations of others, many times punishing those who think differently in an aspect that is conflictive.

They are values ??that appear described in religious books or sacred texts, and that have been transmitted through the history of man from one generation to another. They are not values ??imposed by society.

Religious values ??resemble ethical values ??and all those that are considered socially correct, such as respect and honesty, which are taught at home, in school and in society in general.

Religious values ??are particular because they try to get people to modify their behavior in the face of feelings of resentment, evil, envy, selfishness or other negative feelings that do not support conciliation, goodness, love and respect.

In other words, they are values ??that encourage individuals and society in general to act correctly, without doing or causing harm to others.

Ethical values

Those values ??related to morality are aesthetic, principles that serve to distinguish in a relatively clear way between good and evil and that are, in a certain sense, a priori: they do not have so much to do with a specific context or with the utility of one strategy over another, but have value on their own.

Respect and peace are ethical values.

Among the most relevant ethical values ??we can mention: justice, freedom, respect, responsibility, integrity, loyalty, honesty, equity, among others.

Ethical values ??are acquired during the individual development of each human being with experience in the family, social, school environment and even through the media.

Ethical values ??show the personality of the individual, a positive or negative image, as a consequence of their behavior. Also, the convictions, feelings and interests that the person has can be appreciated.

Daily routine

People start their day very early, they take a bath, have breakfast as a family, get ready, some to go out and work, the children go to school, spend the afternoon busy after work, some practice a sport or a course, basically the Hispanic life is busy but he makes sure it is fun too to make work more enjoyable.

Hispanics lead a life full of principles and values ??that are rooted from their ancestry, who instilled those principles and values ??from father to son

All families need routines. Routines help organize life and prevent it from becoming too chaotic. Children thrive best when routines are regular, predictable, and consistent.

One of the biggest challenges for families is to establish comfortable and effective routines that maintain a good balance between the clutter and confusion that can occur if they are not established, and between the rigidity and boredom that often occurs when there is too much structure and regulation When children are not given a choice or a little flexibility.
