Values and beliefs

In the world there are different cultures. These cultures have gone from generation to generation this day. Each culture has left a legacy and knowledge, but each culture has different form to think. Each culture has their beliefs, their laws, their values, their rules, etc. Although the beliefs and values may be the same, each culture differs from each other. This topic has many pros and cons because every culture has its beliefs and values.
First of all, the values are different to beliefs because values are a set of guidelines that society provides for people to use in social relations. Belief is the psychological state in which an individual holds a proposition or premise to be true. These are many pros because the values and belief make us a good person. It also does that each person can belong to a culture because the belief and values have been transmitting to generation from generation. For people, it is more important because they think that they have rules. People consider that they should stay with their family’s belief and values. Moreover, the belief and values show us what is the culture of different countries because these shows behavior and development of the country.

Although, the beliefs and values are very important these also have cons. The values that were taught in a bad form the people use them in the same bad form. For example in Iran, people used the belief and values in bad form because they think that they can die for the religion. For them this doesn’t a bad thing but for other cultures this is a bad thing. There are beliefs bad and estrange. For example in African tribe called Massai tribe have a belief. The fathers of the newborns girls make them a Cliterectomy, because the belief of this tribe is that the women are made for make feel pleasure to men and that they can’t feel this, which it is only for men. The same belief is not accept in west culture and if some women of west culture will go to the tribe and they will tell to the women that it is a bad thing and that the women have rights, the tribe’s women don’t care it and continue with their tribe’s belief. Many cultures have different belief and values for this reason all people should respect each culture.

In summary, there are different values and beliefs around the world, but each country use them to different form. In my opinion I think that although each country has their belief and values, each population should respect to other.
