Value is the positive effect of the object identified by the subject on the subject. Value category is a relational category, not an entity category.

Human value is the positive effect of the object person on the subject person, including three values:

① Social value is the positive effect of social objects (groups) on individual subjects (individuals);

② Personal value is the positive effect of individual objects (individuals) on social subjects (groups);

Self-worth is the positive effect of self-object on my subject.

Among them, the organic unity of personal value and self-value constitutes the value of life, which is simply expressed as:

Life value = personal value+self-value.

2. Dialectical relationship

For individuals, it is most important to clarify the dialectical relationship between self-worth and personal value.

On the one hand, self-worth is the basic point of personal value. The content of self-worth includes self-reliance, self-love, self-confidence, self-improvement and self-esteem, among which self-reliance is the most basic and important. China ancients said: Why sweep the world if you don't sweep the house? Self-cultivation, orderly family, can rule the country and level the world. 1996, Delauer's report "Learning: Inner Wealth" was published by UNESCO's 2 1 Century Committee, which put forward four goals of education and four pillars of life: learning to seek knowledge, learning to do things, learning to cooperate and learning to survive, among which learning to survive is the most basic, although it ranks lower.

On the other hand, personal value is the sublimation of self-value. Personal value is the main aspect of life value, and life value lies in dedication. Realizing self-worth is the basic purpose of life, and realizing personal value is the basic purpose of life. All citizens in socialist countries should establish the purpose of serving the people. "Adhere to the unity of realizing one's own value and serving the people of the motherland."

3. How to create

To create a valuable life, we must first strive for self-improvement and enhance our self-worth.

If a person can't solve his own food and clothing, he will become the object of social relief; Personal value, that is, the positive role of an individual in society is minimal.

(2) Create a valuable life, then contribute to society and enhance personal value.

If a person cannot promote the interests of others, he will become a spectator of social development; Self-worth, that is, one's positive role in oneself, will also be unknown.

In short, it is to contribute to society and make the development of society more prosperous; We should also improve ourselves and make our life better!
