-What are values?-
Values are ideas, attitudes, and sometimes things that you find important. This includes wealth, courtesy, respect, anger, and so on. There are different types of values, but they all follow the same rule of being important to you. You act on your value on instinct, so you can't value friendship if you treated all your friends like a bag of dirt.
-What is a value system?-
A value system is simply your values, what is important to specifically you. If power is something you think is right, and you want it, then that and your other values, for example wealth and popularity, make up your very own value system.
-How do you learn values?-
Some values are just there from day one. This is uncommon but true. Most values come at an early age, before you can realize you have it as a value. Parents teach you, through purpose or fluke, and you can continue to learn values throughout your life through peer pressure, 'monkey see, monkey do', or just wanting to change yourself for the better. These values can also be shared through religion, if you choose one.
-Who decides what values are right and wrong?-
Most values are just naturally known as right or wrong. For example, courtesy is not harmful and generally makes people happy, therefore it just is right. Some values are forcefully chosen, particularly through government and authority. This can be in both communism and democracy. Generally, values are just naturally known to be on the side of good or evil. Values can be right and wrong for different people, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
