Character Education and the Development of Attitudes, Values, and Decision Making

CHARACTER AND VALUES: A WORLDVIEW PERSPECTIVE The goals of character education include establishing life patterns and personal codes of behavior that include qualities such as integrity, belief in self and others, responsibility,

and honor. Character itself has a strong relationship to how individuals view the world and their values. What individuals feel to be important or even worthwhile has an impact upon character, as does how they view the importance of themselves and others.
