    In ethics and social sciences,value denotes the degree of importance of something or action, with the aim of determining which actions are best to do or what way is best to live, or to describe the significance of different actions.

    Value systems are prospective and prescriptive beliefs; they affect the ethical behavior of a person or are the basis of their intentional activities.

    Often primary values are strong and secondary values are suitable for changes. What makes an action valuable may in turn depend on the ethical values of the objects it increases, decreases, or alters.

    An object with "ethic value" may be termed an "ethic or philosophic good" (noun - sense).
