Answer:

Extrinsic values are those things that are not necessary to sustain life.

Examples are; Bikes, cars, clothes etc.

Step-by-step explanation:

Extrinsic values are those things that are not necessary to sustain life but are just needed to keep up. It could also be a portion of worth that has been assigned to an item.

Extrinsic values are always from the outside.

Examples include;

  • Working in a job just for the money and/or the health benefits
  • Standing for public office to build your personal profile.
  • Activity on social networks to enhance your own social standing.
