The present study aims to identify the similarities and differences in the view of
values between the main social theoretical trends adopted as assets to discuss topics of
interest to sociology. These trends agreed in principle to give quality of o
bjectively to the
values, and differed about their interpretation, understanding and change. We resort to the
comparative approach to find the disclosure of similarities and differences. This approach
is the closest approaches of social research to the nature of the studied subject, mainly in
the study of social phenomena. We will also turn to the analysis of the content according to
the requirements of the study when determining the point of view concerning the values in
this direction or that as stated by the first founders of these trends, namely Emile Durkheim
functional trend, and the founder of the rules of the approach in sociology, and Karl Marx,
the founder of marital comprehension of history and social life, Max Weber, the founder of
sociology of understanding, a pioneer of the ideal model of social analysis. The efforts
made by the founders to study social problems and phenomena, which have been adopted
as the basis of research in sociology, the researcher can draw from their general context
their view of values and reveal the underlying aspect of their studies around them,
especially if we know that each of the first pioneers did not highlight directly on the values
concept.
