This is all about the development of the human persons and their society occasioned by the values of solidarity of values and sincerity of purpose through responsible and humanised actions of development. No one talks about development without due reference to the nature and values of human actions. When and where are possible consideration of human actions, there is necessarily the consideration of morality that is suppose to guide such actions in order to achieve moral order in the forms of social order and justice, which are basic conditions for the Culture of Peace as against the Culture of War.

Such are factors of the individual, existential object of social change and development that classifies his or her humanness, by his or her consideration of the values of other persons in his or her actions and valued choices. The lack of this moral disposition demands that the human person should be evaluated integrally, knowing that he or she is a being of the composite of body and soul, and as such, he or she needs the other persons to develop integrally.
