Values are those inner standards from which you receive the motivation to act as you do and by which you judge behavior (both yours and others). 
Values signify what is important and worthwhile. They serve as the basis for moral codes and ethical reflection.
Individuals have their own values based on many aspects including family, religion, peers, culture, race, social background, gender, etc.
Values guide individuals, professions, communities, and institutions

9. WHY ARE VALUES IMPORTANT?
Our values are important because they help us to grow and develop. They help us to create the future we want to experience.
When we use our values to make decisions, we make a deliberate choice to focus on what is important to us. 
Every individual and every organization is involved in making hundreds of decisions every day. The decisions we make are a reflection of our values and beliefs, and they are always directed towards a specific purpose.
When values are shared, they build internal cohesion in a group.
