Development goals may be common, different or conflicting. (i) Common goals : There are some needs which are common to all like income, freedom, equality, security, respect, friendship, etc. (ii) Different goals : Development or progress does not mean the same thing for every individual. Each individual has his own idea of development. For example, development for a farmer might be better irrigation facilities; for an unemployed youth it may mean better employment opportunities, etc. (ii) Conflicting goals : What may be development for some, may become destruction for some others. For example, industrialists may want dams for electricity but such dams would displace the natives of the region.
