What are the processes for acquiring values?
1. Prescribed by the dominant religion.
2. Formal education and study.
3. Discussions with clergy.
4. Choosing, prizing, and acting.
Correct Answer: 4
The valuing process includes cognitive, affective, and behavioral components, referred to as choosing, prizing, and acting. While people may be exposed to a value system through religion, by formal education and study, and through discussions with clergy, these avenues only introduce a value. The person must then choose to adopt the value as his or her own.
