Values are the beliefs that individuals find most meaningful. People value many different ideas, and not all ideas are ethical. Ethical values are rules or principles a person uses to make decision about right and wrong. They share four characteristics: Ethical values are consistent, take priority over other values, concern the treatment of others, and are well thought out. Treating the clients the same is not part of the shared values.
