Content: A belief is an idea that a person holds as being true. A person can base a belief upon certainties (e.g. mathematical principles), probabilities or matters of faith. A belief can come from different sources, including: a person’s own experiences or experiments
the acceptance of cultural and societal norms (e.g. religion)
what other people say (e.g.education or mentoring). A potential belief sits with the person until they accept it as truth, and adopt it as part of their individual belief system. Each person evaluates and seeks sound reasons or evidence for these potential beliefs in their own way. Once a person accepts a belief as a truth they are willing to defend, it can be said to form part of their belief system. What is a personal value? Values are stable long-lasting beliefs about what is important to a person. They become standards by which people order their lives and make their choices.
