Valor comes from the Latin "value, valōris", and it derives from an Indo-European root. In general, value is understood as the quality that is conferred on facts, things or people, whether it is an aesthetic or ethical assessment according to each case and that can be negative or positive. The dictionary of the royal academy offers the meaning of this word as the degree of aptitude or usefulness of things, to achieve the satisfaction of needs or to supply or produce delight or well-being. In the field of philosophy, where the concept of value is of utmost importance, there is a branch that deals with the complete study of the nature and judgment of value, this is the axiology from the Greek “άξιος” which means “valuable” and “λόγος” equal to treaty, also known as the philosophy of values.
And according to its nature, there are two philosophical currents which are those of idealism and that of materialism; that idealism arises, on the one hand, objective idealism where it is believed that value is outside of people or things, and on the other hand, subjective idealism that it is thought that value can be found in the same consciousness of each individual. Then the philosophical current of materialism shows that the nature of value lies in and depends on the ability of each individual to value what surrounds him in an objective way.
Finally , moral values or plural values are understood to be those that relate to behavior, attitudes and the dignity that a human being possesses. It is that ethical principle that allows the individual to behave in a certain way in a given situation. There is talk of values such as responsibility, respect, honesty, honesty, etc.
