Hint 1

Compare the goals of a landless labourer with those of a rich farmer's daughter.

Hint 2

Do all persons value income, freedom and security equally?

Step-by-step solution

  1. The statement is true because each person's needs and aspirations differ, so what is a goal for one may not be for another.

    1 mark
  2. Example: a landless rural labourer may want more days of work and better wages, while a prosperous farmer's daughter may want freedom to study and to have a career. One person may value income and another security or freedom.

    1 mark

Answer: Developmental goals differ with people's needs and situations, e.g. a labourer wants better wages while a rich farmer's daughter wants education and freedom.
