Abstract
The paper explores the concept of values from psychological as well as sociological perspective. Based on a research study, the paper describes five values identified through the analysis of biographies and autobiographies of personalities who have constructively contributed for the society in their own ways coming from different fields. Various anecdotes and excerpts from the lives of these personalities demonstrate the significance of each 'value' in their lives and the interaction between various values and other abilities. The study also describes a set of activities embedded within the school processes for encouraging values amongst children. Taking the instance of science as one of the school subjects, the tryout of these activities with school children is discussed.
