Summary
Humans need to base their decisions, preferences, behaviors and so forth in all phases of life on strong justification references. The references serve as a function for inner and outer justifications and beliefs, values and their derivations shape these references. In spite of individual and social differences, some people can make similar decisions and choices, and exhibit similar behaviors. Two siblings, friends and two colleagues etc. Can readily differ in their decisions and preferences, behave in different manners despite their common similar characteristics. The most reliable way to understand these similarities and differences is to know peoples' value orientations. Value orientations have a decisive impact on these processes
