* Value Orientations in Our School Campus and Barangay
Values are the elements of life prevailing in a society. They are the rules by which we make decisions about right and wrong, should and shouldn't, good and bad. They also tell us which are more or less important, which is useful when we have to trade off meeting one value over another. They provide motivation and ground for choice. They shape and determine individual and group’s decision to like or dislike and change or not change something. Thus, knowing people’s value orientation will guide planners, administrators, policy-makers, and agents responsible in implementations of laws and programs.
Every individual, social group and institution has its own value orientation. What is value orientation? Value orientation is the principle of right and wrong that are accepted by an individual or a social group. It is a system of principles governing morality and acceptable conduct.

In our school, Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University, various value orientations are present. Students are able to accept responsibility for their own behavior. Definitions of responsibility stem from a shared community understanding, and responsibilities are taught explicitly across the curriculum. The school recognized that the acceptance of responsibility for behavior is developmental and is dependent on students having opportunities to discuss and practice appropriate behavior. Students learn to accept responsibility when they are involved in decision-making. The school provides opportunities for students to develop decision-making skills which enable them to recognize that behavior can be a conscious choice and that different choices result in different consequences. Students who know how to meet their needs through responsible decisions are less likely to behave in ways which interfere with learning.
Next, giving and gaining respect to/from others. Staff, parents and students have different rights that each individual should respect and protect. School staff manages aspects of the school environment, including sexual and racial harassment and bullying, so that students learn to respect rights and fulfill responsibilities. The school develops consequences for both responsible and irresponsible behaviors, and will consistently apply these consequences. The rights, responsibilities and consequences will be established through negotiation between school staff, students and their families.
Next is the value of honesty for the students, teachers and the administration. The school encourages the students to be honest all the time. As a future teacher, we should know what is right from wrong. Being honest can lead you to a good future.
The value of trust and cooperation are also promoted to the students. That said, trust is not a given. It has to be earned. And in an interdependent relationship as the one a teacher has with his students, without trust, there is often only a stagnant environment. So for a relationship to work, they both need to have a full trust with each other. And cooperation from both sides would be a great help to establish a great relationship that will result to a good outcome. If only one would do his job and the other doesn’t, poor outcome will be produced.
Discipline is also present. Sadly, many people confuse discipline for routine and avoid it. Well, routine is the act of doing the same thing over and over again, due to lack of opportunity or imagination. On the other hand, discipline accepts the absence of routine, on the condition of responsibility. A disciplined person will have a lot of fun, but will make sure that he completes his duties. He will go out and have a blast, but will ensure that he is back at the decided time. A disciplined and responsible person will respect his as well as other's time. As such, he will always be punctual.

In barangays value orientation also exists. One, Empathy, one of the most important value in our life. How can one concentrate on co-existing on the same planet, without a speck of empathy. We need to be able to accept others for what they are, not what they can do for us. We need to stop concentrating on how we can reduce competition and focus on how we can grow together. While we all have to look out for ourselves at the end of the day, we need to remember this quote, "The day we stop fighting for each other, we stop being humans!” Being in the same barangay, we should accept that every individual is different and they have their own qualities different from you or everyone else.
Two, Mutual Respect towards others. It is clear; we all have our strengths as well as weaknesses. Mutual respect means having respect in our minds for everyone. Even if you are up against a person, wherein it is your honor against theirs, it is important to have mutual respect. It is this respect that makes us human. Without this respect, we become like animals. This respect can help us keep the balance between welfare state and social Darwinism in society. We need to respect our friends for their friendship and our enemies for their ability to be competitive and their conviction.
Three, Love, this may seem surreal, but honestly, love conquers all. With love in our hearts, we feel no need to harm another. We will raise ourselves, rather than pull another down. We will focus on the similarities of opinions rather than the difference of color, religion or sexual orientation. We will punish, but not kill. We will request, but not steal. With love, we will be people and not monsters! If we want our society to be good to us, we need to be good to it, as well.
Third, Loyalty, people often forget the meaning and importance of loyalty. Loyalty is an emotion that binds us to a person, thing or sentiment. This emotion restricts us from ever betraying that person or thing. As such, what our society clearly needs today is loyalty. We need to be loyal to each other, to shudder at the thought of speaking, or thinking negative about each other. We need this loyalty to gather the strength to stand up against something that will harm our society and to stand up for the oppressed. It is this loyalty that will bring down the global walls and make this world one big home again.
Fourth, Honesty, we all claim to follow the above values in society. In our own way, we think we are perfect. Honesty in society is to accept yourself for what you are, and let everyone know that as well. This honesty will help you make yourself better, simply because you had the ability to admit your flaws and work towards improving yourself. It is this honesty that will make others helps you out, not because you need it. But, because they have flaws too, which you can help out with. This honesty will help us follow the other values in society.

* Value Content of a Movie

The movie I chose to review the value content is the movie entitled Beastly, a drama, fantasy, romance and modern-day movie that take on the "Beauty and the Beast" tale where a New York teen is transformed into a hideous monster in order to find true love.
In the Buckeston Academy High School, the wealthy, arrogant, narcissist and bigot Kyle Kingson (Alex Pettyfer) is a student that does not respect his classmates. When Kyle is elected representative of the students, he plays a prank with the outcast Kendra Hilferty (Mary-Kate Olsen) for being ugly and strange at the after-party that has the fame of being a witch. He invites her to a party and humiliates her in front of their classmates. However, Kendra curses him with a spell that makes Kyle as ugly as his soul. Further, she tells that if he does not find anyone who loves him within a year, he will be doomed to that appearance forever. When Kyle's father Rob Kingson (Peter Krause) sees him, he takes Kyle to specialists but the doctors do not know what to do. So Rob hides Kyle in an apartment with their maid, Zola (Lisa Gay Hamilton) and a blind tutor Will Fratalli (Neil Patrick Harris). Rob initially promises to support his son, but gradually neglects his son over time and stops visiting him after work altogether. Angry and hurt, Kyle finds sympathy from Will and Zola. Kyle changed his name to Hunter so that no one could find him.
When Kyle sees his mate Lindy (Vanessa Hudgens) on the streets, he saves her from a dangerous drug dealer and he brings her to his apartment to protect her. Now his only hope is that Lindy falls in love with him.
This movie shows values that are applicable to youths. One, Humility, it is present in the character of Kyle. He learned his lesson to be humble always and control his pride. And with the help of Lindy, he realized that money and fame are not enough for a person to be happy and be the source of arrogance.
Two, Sympathy, this value is shown by Will, the blind tutor, and Zola, their maid, that although Kyle is being arrogant they still took care of him and tried to understand his situation. They never gave up on his attitude and even helped him in winning the heart of Lindy. They became the family Kyle never had aside from his father that doesn’t care about him.
Three, Perseverance, it is shown by Kyle. At first, Lindy doesn’t want to talk to Kyle even see him. But he did anything he knew that would please Lindy and make her talk to him. He didn’t give up. He even asked for help from Will and Zola. Four, Nonjudgmental, Lindy has this value that she showed to Kyle. When she saw the true appearance of Kyle, she didn’t get disgusted or frightened. Instead, he befriends him and accepted his physical appearance. And she even falls in love with Kyle despite of his ugliness.
