Explanation:

 Beliefs encompass the cognitive component of attitudes and serve as the foundation upon which attitudes are built. They can include beliefs in God or beliefs in democracy as a political ideology. Values, on the other hand, are attitudes or beliefs that contain a sense of what should or ought to be, such as moral or ethical values. An example of a value is the notion that one should work hard or always be honest because honesty is the best policy. Values form when a specific belief or attitude becomes an integral part of an individual's overall perspective on life, making them resistant to change.
