- Development involves thinking about various questions that affect the way we live as an individual or in society.
- It aims at devising ways in which we can work towards achieving these goals.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF DEVELOPMENT
- The notion of development is not the same for everyone. We seek things that play an instrumental role in fulfilling our aspirations and desires.
- Therefore, different persons can have different developmental goals.
- It is also possible that the development goals of two or more individuals or groups are conflicting.
- Hence, what may be developed for one may not be developed for the other. It may even be destructive for the other.
INCOME AND OTHER GOALS
- One thing that is usually a common development goal for everyone is regular work and decent wages. People want more income.
- However, other things people desire are respect, freedom, security, etc.
- The quality of our life depends on both material and non-material things.
- Hence, for development, people look at a mix of goals.
