Q. What is the difference between the belief and understanding?
Ans: A key point that underpins the distinction between understanding and belief is that; it is easy to think of instances in which one understand—or at least partly understand—an idea while believing a completely different idea. For example student understands the concept of solar system still believing his/her religious doctrine. So beliefs are the ad-hoc values while correct understanding is the universal human values.

Distinction between beliefs and understanding can be underpinned by evaluating following points:
Beliefs | Understanding |
Beliefs are the ad-hoc values | Correct understanding is the universal human values |
They usually not the same for everybody | They are same for everyone |
Beliefs are assumed values | Understanding is evaluated values |
Belief usually change with time For e.g. At one point of time you might have thought getting in to a good college is the most important now it may change to a getting a good job to a company or getting a job in a good company. | Understanding does not change with time |
Q. How do you presently decide what is valuable to you?
Ans: All of us consider something or other to be valuable. We set our goals, our aims on this basis and then set out to work towards achieving them. While the need for determining what is valuable to us may seem evident, but we hardly appreciate or channelized our effort for correct identification of them. Complete understanding of our aspirations will helps us to decide what is valuable to us. Basically all of us are aspiring to be happy and whatever appears conducive to our happiness become valuable to us. Once we know what is valuable to us, these values becomes the anchor of our actions.
Q. What do you understand by the value of an entity? What is the value of a human being? (UPTU 2009-10)
Ans: The value of any unit in this existence is its participation in the larger order of which it is part e.g. value of a pen is that it can write. Here writing is the participation of the pen in the bigger order in which pen, paper, human being, all are present. Value of an eye is that it can be used for seeing. Value of a vegetable plant is that it gives nutrition to animals and humans.
The value of human being is the participation of human being at different level in this order. The participation of the human being is seen in two forms: behaviour and work. The participation of human being pertaining to behaviour are the nine values in relationship, viz. trust, respect, affection, care, guidance, reverence, glory, gratitude and love. Likewise, working with material things, we have two values: utility value and artistic value. All these values are nothing but the participation of the human being in different dimensions of living.
Q. Illustrate the content of value education.
or
What should be the content of value education to make it complete? How do values relate to our day to day living? (UPTU 2010-11)
Ans: The subject that enables us to understand ‘what is valuable’ for human happiness is called value education. The scope of value education includes all dimensions (thoughts, behaviour, work and realization) and all levels (individual, family, society and nature – existence). Accordingly, the content of value education will be to understand myself, my aspirations, my happiness; understand the goal of human life comprehensively, understand the other entities in nature, the innate inter-connectedness, the coexistence in the nature- existence and finally the role of human being in this nature/existence entirely. Hence, it has to encompass understanding of harmony at various levels and finally, learning to live in accordance with this understanding by being vigilant to one’s thoughts, behaviour and work.
Q. What is the need for value education in technical and other professional institutions?
Ans: The subject that enables us to understand ‘what is valuable’ for human happiness is called value education. The present education system has become largely skill-based. The prime emphasis is on science and technology. However, science and technology can only help to provide the means to achieve what is considered valuable. It is not within the scope of science and technology to provide the competence of deciding what really is valuable. Value Education is a crucial missing link in the present education system. Because of this deficiency, most of our efforts may prove to be counterproductive and serious crises at the individual, societal and environmental level are manifesting.
Q. What is happiness?
Ans: Happiness may be defined as being in harmony/synergy in the state/ situation that I live in. “A state or situation in which I live, if there is harmony in it then I like to be in that state / situation. The state of liking is happiness.” Happiness is a state of mind or feeling characterized by contentment, love, satisfaction, pleasure or joy. Happiness may be described as consisting of positive emotions and positive activities. There may be three kinds of happiness: pleasure, engagement, and meaning. In other words, freedom from want and distress, consciousness of the good order of things, assurance of one’s place in the universe or society, inner peace and so forth. Happiness is the state of mind, where we feel good in most of the walk of life.
Q. Explain the process of value education.
Ans: The process for value education has to be that of self-exploration, which includes two things:
Verification at the level of natural acceptance and
Experimental validation in living
Self-exploration is the process to find out what is valuable to me by investigating within my self, what is right for me, true for me, has to be judge within myself. Through self-exploration we get to know the value of our self.

Q. What do you mean by a value in relationship?
Ans: The human relationship is between the self (I) and the other self (I). It is the need of the self (I) to be in relationship with other. Being in relationship, we have the feeling for other. These feeling cannot be replaced by any material or physical things. These feelings are definite and these feelings are the values in a relationship. Feelings of one self (I) with the other (I) are definite, can be identified, understood and fulfilled. If we do not understand them, then we have problems, we feel we are never able to satisfy the other and this leaves us with a grudge, even in our closest relationship.
