I see ht process of definition of something, to use your example as : a car is a car, cars usually have 4 wheels, a motor and are used for transportation.
Then you can value the individual car you're looking at through further classification: This car I see is red.
Then you can add value or worth to those attributes including the base: I like cars, they are useful. I hate the color red, this car is red, I'd like it more ifit were a different color.
You could asign a value to tires, motors and transportation, but typically only the object identified in it's whole has a worth initially at least.
All that above is simply a metaphor for my opinion.
I was simply clarifying the direction you wanted to go with your question. You were at first discussing the "what" of a person (definable base attributes) and now seeking the "why" (assertaining a meaning or worth to those attributes. Is this a correct assesment?

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
