Freedom, development, and human worth
Article Abstract:
In this age of cultural pluralism it has become essential for the people to realize the worth of basic human values that will help preserve the unity and integrity of the human race. The national government must encourage people's participation in the decision-making process so that their aspirations do not clash with the rigid systems. In order to avoid anarchy and chaos and to establish a civic society the government must give people the right to participate in the national debate on issues that directly affect their lives.
