Abstract: Abstract Starting from the definition of value in our work, namely the fact that they are the benchmark in the socialization criteria of the individual and a direct reference for the sustainable development of society. We can say that the value defines our and society’s system of options and determines our orientation or the collectivity of which we are a part in the evolved society subject to multiple challenges. Moreover, the individual and implicitly society relates, or should relate, to the main moral values, namely: kindness, courage, altruism, perseverance, empathy. Based on existing empirical research, the results of our work will highlight the fact that through value, the individual plans his personal value involvements or looks for certain attitudes and qualities of the people he interacts with. Value helps us formulate our goals and define our perspectives. The value also defines the character and direction of personal relationships, the preference of choosing or rejecting partners in a collective participation. In the conclusions of the chapter, we will highlight the fact that values have a determining and fundamental role in all creative, cooperative or conflicting human actions. Moreover, through them we can each of us participate in the societal balance and a sustainable development of the current society, in the context of the multiple crises in which we find ourselves.
