Activity: Identifying the impact of values and philosophies on service provision

Content: However a person who relies on the logging of a forest for their job may not place the same value on the forest as a person who wants to save it. Values can influence many of the judgments we make as well as have an impact on the support we give clients. It is important that we do not influence client’s decisions based on our values. We should always work from the basis of supporting the client’s values. Activity: What are some of my values? Manners—are they old fashioned? Do they hold a high or low value in your life? Pride—are there things you need to be proud of? Do you value pride or do you value humility?
