Peace and Development
Peace and development are intertwined therefore a process to which all people need to contribute but cannot actively contribute if their basic needs are not met, this includes all the positive attitudes and values that make people reach the highest standards of living. It is related to the core values of development namely
1. Life sustenance - the ability to provide basic human need, these include indisputably food, shelter, health and protection. When any of this is absent or critically in short supply, I may say that a condition of absolute under development exist hence economic development is a necessary condition for the improvement in the quality of life.
2. Self-esteem - to be a person, a second universal component of good life and an element of peace. A sense of worth and self respect of not use as a tool by others for their own ends. All people seek some forms of dignity and respect but when the basic needs are lacking, they look at themselves inferior and can be use by others only to make ends meet
3.Freedom - to be to choose. Freedom here is not to be understood in the political and ideological sense but freedom from social servitude of men to nature, ignorance. Freedom involved the expended range of choices for members of societies.
