Development

Today , development is a buzzing word , eveywhere it is very common to hear that we are developing at a pace unprecedented in the history, etc, etc.
but Are we really ?? What is the real development ?? What is the aim of development ??
In my view , the development is nothing more than making the life on earth more convenient for those who lives on it , but is it really happening ?? It needs a very careful and detailed analysis and I will like to give my views on various aspects .
As everthing has pros and cons , so is the development , thus we need to have a cost-benefit analysis of it ,  by cost I mean to refer to not only refer to economic costs , but also to social , environmental and other costs , etc.
For example , take Computers : today , it has really made our life easier , although it has some disadvantages like it weakens the eye but all of it are negligible as compared to its benefits , so in my view computer simulates development .
But on thye other hand , take progress in nuclear field , with every passing day , the threats to human life are continuously increaing . Although the supporters say that it will provide a lot of energy , but if we carefully analyze it then we will find out that the problem of nuclear wastes disposal , nuclear power plants are a great threat for us , and afterall Human life should not be compromised at any cost. Thus , Nuclear energy has more pros than cons , so we need to have another look at it . 
The most concerning thing for me with development is the degradation of Human Values , With every passing day there is continuous gap widening between the rich and poor and the struggle for survival is becoming tougher. If we compare the conditions of people living in the developed and under developed parts of the world then we will find out that there is a great difference , one side is on sky and other is below the ground . 
This Dual economy is of no good at all. Today we have become so skeptic of others that before helping them we are thinking twice ; parents being thrown out of house by children , increasing number of divorces , more killing in everyday clearly reflects that feeling of love and sympathy among human beings is slowly and slowly vanishing into thin air . Today more than 50% of the world money is spent on defence , just imagine if that money is spent on the welfare , then out own earth would be a Heaven .
Thus it is my humble request to developed nations and educated persons that it is our responsibility to make the world a better place to live in because You are the Ones that actually dominates the development . Help the other nations so that There is no more dual economy and please focus on other aspects of development rather than strengthening of your defence . The world needs your support.
