Consider the value that the United States places upon youth. Children represent innocence and purity, while a youthful adult appearance signifies sexuality.
Shaped by this value, individuals spend millions of dollars each year on cosmetic products and surgeries to look young and beautiful. The United States also has an individualistic culture, meaning people place a high value on individuality and independence.
In contrast, many other cultures are collectivist, meaning the welfare of the group and group relationships are a primary value. Marital monogamy is valued, but many spouses engage in infidelity. Values portray an ideal culture , the standards society would like to embrace and live up to. But ideal culture differs from real culture , the way society actually is, based on what occurs and exists. In an ideal culture, there would be no traffic accidents, murders, poverty, or racial tension.
But in real culture, police officers, lawmakers, educators, and social workers constantly strive to prevent or repair those accidents, crimes, and injustices. American teenagers are encouraged to value celibacy. However, the number of unplanned pregnancies among teens reveals that not only is the ideal hard to live up to, but the value alone is not enough to spare teenagers the potential consequences of having sex.
One way societies strive to put values into action is through rewards, sanctions, and punishments. When people observe the norms of society and uphold its values, they are often rewarded. People sanction certain behaviors by giving their support, approval, or permission, or by instilling formal actions of disapproval and nonsupport.

From these things we develop an opinion that we hold to be true and unmovable at that time. From our beliefs we derive our values, which can either be correct or incorrect when compared with evidence, but nonetheless hold true for us. It is possible for our beliefs and values to differ over time as we encounter evidence or have experiences that challenge our previously held views. Conversely our beliefs and values can also be strengthened by experience or evidence.
For example, someone who believes in God might have that belief confirmed when they see a loved one recover from cancer and see it as a miracle delivered from God. However, a person might have their belief in the essential goodness of human beings shaken and changed if they have a truly terrible experience.
Everyone has an internalized system of beliefs and values that they have developed throughout their lives. These may stem from religion or may develop separately to religion. Summary 1. Beliefs are concepts that we hold to be true. Beliefs may come religion, but not always 3.

MLA 8 , Rachel. These beliefs are likely to be enduring, and only change quickly in response to some exceptional event. A bit like how a river gradually erodes one bank to shift course over thousands of years, but might one day burst its banks and find a new course, in response to a dam breaking upstream.
These kinds of beliefs change all the time in response to sensory data, or even introspection when we realise that two beliefs are mutually exclusive for example. In epistemology, belief is a component of Knowledge; the other components being Truth and Warrant ie I have a good reason to belief it is True. Some beliefs have firmer foundations than others but all beliefs are limited by our inability to interact with the universe except through our unreliable senses.
What are beliefs? Today I had a man from Pakistan tell me that in their country they have values, I said sir we have values too then the other Pakistian man said that I need to understand and accept that they have more values then we do.
