The development goals may be common, different or conflicting.
(i) Common goals : There are some requirements which are common to all such as income, freedom, equality, security, respect and friendship etc.
(ii) Different goals : Development and progress does not mean the same for every individual. Each individual has its own idea of development.
For example : Irrigation for farmers and employment for unemployed youth.
(iii) Conflicting goals : It might be possible that development for some may become destructive for others.
For Example : Industrialists may want dams for electricity but it may displace the natives of that region.
