Talents are the core of maintaining the quality of LONGFOR while SWJTU has a rich talent pool. Notices are listed as follows:

I. Introduction

Based on research and analysis of traditional value education methods, “Values Clarification” is a concept proposed by an American university professor Louise Raths. No matter it’s at work or in life, we always have to bear the pressure from different aspects and face many choices and temptations. The “Value Auction” game will help the students master the method of value clarification.

The “Value Auction” is an auction and exchange of world values using virtual money by the students.

The game not only inspires students to think about their value conceptions, learn to seize opportunities and not to give up, but also helps them understand their attitude towards life.

1. Auction Items: joy, optimism, sense of fulfillment, money, faith, freedom, stability, reputation, health, love, creativity, friendship, kinship, power, sense of security, justice, independence, challenging spirit, success, integrity, sense of identity.
