values

In this text, I will discuss different values. The film I have chosen as my main focus, is Pursuit of happyness because the story of Mr Chris Gardnes, the main character, demonstrate that if he can make it, anyone can.

The importance of values appears in many aspects of our society, for instance family, friendship, love and in our environment. For example work, school, home and social medias. I believe that what you see as values is up to whom you ask, and that really is in focus in the movie.

In the film Pursuit of happyness, we hear about the different values of poor and rich, coloured and white people. The story really touches you. If you are focusing on the rich people in the movie. You can see that they are putting themselves in focus, to show everyone else that they have money and a good job, for them that is important. While the poor people appreciate food, bed and clothes more than the rich people do, the rich I believe take this for granted.

In my opinion, values are important because it shows who you are as a person, what you care about and your vision on right or wrong. To be helpful, honest and warm-hearted makes you happy, and happiness I believe is a life goal. The stuff that makes us happy is the things we appreciate, also called values.

The main character in the movie is under pressure. First, he loses his wife, and then he loses his home. Therefore, he desperately need to find places to live and cheap food, with a little son on his back. After a while, he starts working at this office, with all these white and rich people. This makes him pretend that he is someone else, for instance pretending he has a car and money to buy taxi, when he actually need spend as little money as possible. That really made me appreciate a bed to sleep in and food on the table every day; so many people need to watch this movie to learn that there is so many people around the world who isn`t as lucky as we are.

To conclude, values are important because it reflects on your perspective of life. If you ask yourself, or somebody else the question “what are values?” don`t stress! It`s actually easy, you just need to mind yourself what you believe is important. Without food I wouldn`t manage to get through the day, so food for me, is one of my values.
