Beliefs:
• This refers to information that you have about people, objects, issues, etc, which you consider to be true or factual.
• Such a belief can be right or wrong.• Some beliefs are stronger than others.• A belief is your idea that something is true or
not but it does not have an evaluative or emotional aspect.
• Attitude and behaviour are based on beliefs.

Values can be described as standards that we utilise to distinguish between what are
‘acceptable’ or ‘unacceptable’ or right or wrong.
We use values to evaluate the world and people around us.
