The word "value" can also mean how much money something is worth: "Home values have fallen in recent years." "Market value" is how much something can be sold for: "What's the market value of that painting?" The word "values" also refers to what people think is most important: "Most people share the values of honesty, kindness, and generosity." Finally, the phrase "shock value" refers to something's ability to surprise someone: "Some driver-education courses use photographs of car accidents because their shock value can make new drivers realize how important it is to drive safely." |
