價值體係
Jim Marteney，洛杉磯穀學院，通過 ASCCC 開放教育資源計劃 (OERI)
價值體係是個人價值觀的有組織的集合，例如誠實、善良和平等。這些價值觀的優先級是最重要的價值觀放在最上麵，最不重要的價值觀放在最下麵。價值觀通常體現在所有文化和社會中的一套道德和/或宗教體係中。我們可能覺得我們所有的價值觀都很重要，但當兩個或多個價值觀發生衝突時，我們必須決定哪個價值觀對我們來說最重要。這就形成了一個價值體係，指導我們的決策。
為了讓您了解價值體係如何運作，我向您介紹了吉恩·奧特裏的牛仔守則。吉恩·奧特裏是 30、40 和 50 年代著名的好萊塢“歌唱牛仔”。他去世時還是天使職業棒球隊的老板。他是許多想成為像他一樣牛仔的孩子的英雄。多年來，吉恩·奧特裏形成了一套人生哲學，他決定與這些年輕的崇拜者分享。這套價值觀體係，像任何價值觀體係一樣，將指導他的年輕牛仔粉絲的行為。
吉恩·奧特裏的牛仔守則
牛仔絕不能先發製人，不能打小個子，也不能占便宜。
他絕不能食言，不能違背對他的信任。
他必須始終告訴真理。
他必須溫柔地對待孩子、老人和動物。
他不能提倡或持有種族或宗教不寬容的思想。
他必須幫助處於困境中的人。
他必須是一個好工人。
他必須在思想、言語、行為和個人習慣上保持清潔。
他必須尊重婦女、父母和國家的法律。
牛仔是愛國者。1
你可以在一個名為“西部牛仔守則”的網站上找到從羅伊·羅傑斯到獨行俠的其他牛仔守則。2你還可以在網上找到從“騎士精神”到日本武士“武士道守則”的“生活守則”。所有這些守則都列出了指導決策的價值觀。

Value Systems
Jim Marteney, Los Angeles Valley College via ASCCC Open Educational Resources Initiative (OERI)
Value systems are an organized collection of individual values, such as honesty, kindness, and equality. These values are prioritized with the most important values on top, and the least important on the bottom. Values are usually embodied in a set of moral and/or religious systems found in all cultures and societies. We may feel that all of our values are important, but when two or more values clash, we have to decide which value is most important to us. This becomes a value system, which guides our decision-making.
To give you an idea how a value system works, I present to you the Gene Autry’s Cowboy Code. Gene Autry was a famous Hollywood “singing cowboy’ of the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s. He was also the owner of the Angels professional baseball team, when he passed away. He was a hero to many, many children who wanted to be a cowboy just like him. Over the years Gene Autry had developed a philosophy of life that he decided to share with these young admirers. This system of values, like any value system, would guide the actions of his young cowboy fans.

You can find other cowboy codes from Roy Rogers to the Lone Ranger at a website called “Cowboy Codes of the West.” 2 You can also find online “life codes” from “Chivalry” to the Japanese warriors “Bushido Code.” All these codes list values that guide decision-making.
