The values are certainly an important issue in people's lives and in the functioning conformable of a society as well. What is good or what is considered bad or pernicious are questions that people must know in order to know how to behave and thus avoid behaviors that are punished in some way by the community in which we live.
Meanwhile, the concept that concerns us now, axiological, is closely associated with the concept of value and we apply it in our language to everything that is proper or related to the axiology.
Axiology is a detachment from the philosophy, a branch of it, which deals with reflecting, studying the nature of values, especially values of the type moral and the valuation judgments that are generated in an individual regarding them.
The moral values have a classification hierarchical that implies that there are values considered as positive or good, such is the case of what is good, while below that level, in a lower step, negative values will be located, those that are preferable to discard because they are not supposed to lead to a stage of harmony and happiness.
It should be noted that axiology must address both positive and negative values in the same way because it is precisely from this analysis that it can be determined the worth or not of something and a reality can be considered as an ideal compared to another that proposes the opposite, such is the case of love versus hate, justice versus the injustice, the peace against war, among others.
The structuring of values that a person has is the one that ultimately outlines their personality, his decisions and the way in which he appreciates life.
