This document discusses different perspectives on development goals. It notes that development goals can vary over time, place, and between individuals. Development goals like income, equality, freedom, security, and respect can conflict between groups like gender, social class, religion, and rural/urban areas. International organizations like the World Bank and UNDP use metrics like per capita income, education, health, and HDI rankings to measure national development, but these neglect other important factors. While income is important, true well-being requires family, health, knowledge, and environment. Countries with similar incomes can vary greatly in health and education outcomes. For long term sustainable development, resources must be conserved for future generations.
