It would be say the values are very similar in comparison to the beliefs because both are fundamentals in the culture but these are not the same and have some differences.

Firstly, the values are characterized for been the ideal behavior that person would be follow for have a better relationship with the others for example people who have the values as the respect for the others, the amability, live in better emotional conditions with the society and they feeling more calm this does that people begin to belifs in the differents things because find a way to achivement their objectives in the life for instance the differents religions there are in the world fill internally in each person different of the others,since the beliefs change according to the religion.

In addition, the belifs in the different regions are integrated in agreement by the differents values for example the freedom is one of the most important values in the world because the majority of the religions bear in mind.

Can criminals "values" be considered values?

The mankind have an important values that the people believe and put in practice these for have a better life-style, but currently many people doesn't expire the values in their life and take for the bad way. For that we could said the criminal "values" cannot be considered values.

Firstly, it would be argued the criminals doesn't have values because the don't practice the honesty, for example when tehy steal the people don't matter became to do damage them, because many times of the frequently rubbers are for deception where the people finish many times without quantities of money or finish death. Furthemore in some cases the criminals kipnapes or extract the people in change of sum of money where witout the liberty of the people.

In addition, the criminal minds are very strange because there are many people that they like kill people for a good sensation for instance the serial killers in the world are famous for to kill many people or have a dement mind, one example clear of that is the slaughters in the towns or in the schools of the worlds.

Consequently, the criminals "values" doesn't be considered values because they have many damage to the society and they sould be punished with sentences very hard, because their with the lake of put in practice the values affect a lot the society.

Capital Sins

The capital since influence in a culture of a country, in this case the magical, gorgeous and fascinating people who live in Ghana. The most important and disgusting sins that I highlight are the envy that as a repulse and repel sin that have some people and the wrath that affect in bad term the harmonious relationship between the people and there are reject for the church.

The envy is characterized by an insatiable and intimidating desire to a quit or fantastic object that someone’s have. In Ghana the church is most important and the wrath is the ungrateful and unappreciative sin because manifest a uncontrolled and aggressive feelings.

In conclusion in all of cultures of the world would be ti try eliminate this badly and disgusting sins.

DESCRIPTIVE ESSAY

There are many fantastics countries to describe but Ghana is know for its magical scenary and their fascinating people. This country is ubicate in the abandoned Africa's continent where the people motivating to analize their traditions and belifs, and the most important the values that they have and as these rescue from the culture.


I think the most important values to rescue in this countrie are : the liberty and the respect, I would said that because their habitual life begin for respect the belifs of others, this begin when they was educated as since small the children learn to are impartial and be treated with equality, this country is divided into several regions which have different thoughts in the religion, culture and education from there that everyone has freedom of expression and all are treated in the best form.


One thing for highlight is the value of liberty because in the countries were subjected to such brutal oppression doesn't has a lot of capacity for express their ideas and believe the people are ignorant and incompetent for made a decision, for that exist six ethnic groups who demostrate their fabolous habilities in the craft work, wonderful ceramic objects. In other instance, in Ghana speaks many native and ancient languages but the official languge is the English.

I can said that country is amazing to know, because its culture makes that Ghana has mystical and exciting to visit because its people is very different to our society and are interesting to learn about an exhuberant and grandiose cultures for the importance to they have in their traditions and belifies and the recognize that they have to the values.
