Beliefs, Values, Attitudes

A belief is an internal feeling that something is true, even though that belief may be unproven
or irrational. For example: I believe that opening an umbrella indoors will bring bad luck, what
goes around comes around.

A value is the measure of the worth or importance the person attaches to something; our
values are often reflected in the way we live our lives. For example: I value freedom of
speech, I value my family.

An attitude is the way a person expresses or applies their beliefs and values, and is expressed
through words and behavior. For example: I get upset when I hear about cruelty to animals, I
love school! (111 words)
