Anthropological theories of value

Anthropological theories of value are ways of thinking about the things that people value and the choices that people make. People might value something because of its usefulness, because of the pleasure it gives them, or because of cultural reasons. People make decisions based on what they value, so understanding what people's values are can help us to understand why people make certain choices. For example, some people might value having lots of possessions, while other people might value experiences. Understanding these differences can help us to understand why someone might choose to buy a lot of items or choose to go on a trip instead.
