• Behavioral values are the inner personal
responses which prompt a person to act in
a certain way while cultural values are the
modes of conduct of a group or society.

according to personal taste which is
desirable and acceptable.

acceptable by the members of the society.
• Situational. Concepts or standards which
are applied during a given set of
circumstance.

16. Relationship between Moral and
Cultural Behavioral Values
• Although man is created to choose what is
good, he is still capable of committing
immoral acts because he is vulnerable and
usually overpowered by his weakness.
• Everyone encounters personal
experiences which demands his choice
between right or wrong.
• He is bound to violate the Moral Law if his
behavioral values are not rooted with
universal truths.

17. • Values formation can be enhanced
through the development of conscience,
which is the internalization of punishment.
• Virtue formation is a dynamic process in
which a person develops the facility to do
a particular good act repetitively whenever
the situation calls for it.
