Values as perspective influencers: To interpret the influence of characters’ cultural values on their perspectives, students may start by listing their own values in terms of what they value the most or least: friendship, career/work, family, appearance, having fun, power, fairness, social acceptance, independence, etc., leading up to listing the top and bottom four values and then comparing their own values to those of their peers (Johannessen, Kahn, & Walter, 2009).
