According to an essay published online by the U.S. Army and excerpted from the Army's Consideration of Others Handbook, everyone has a value system. A value system is a set of values adopted by an individual or society influencing the behavior of the individual or members of the society, often without the conscious awareness of the members of that society. Different experiences produce different values, and a person's values are modified as those experiences accumulate and change. Over time, attitudes have a tendency to be fixed and difficult to change. Individual values can and will conflict at times (Arnold).
             If we are to direct the efforts of a group, we must understand and influence individual behavior. Also, by understanding human behavior, we can analyze, predict and influence that behavior. Because of the impact of differing cultures, classes, ethnic backgrounds, intelligence, and family characteristics, variations occur in what people believe and how they behave. A mistake we often make is to fail to note these differences and appreciate them.
