A Sample List of Final Goals
(a) Satisfaction of basic physical needs, such as for bodily survival, growth, health,
procreation, security, rest, and comfort.
(b) Happiness, including feelings of contentment, pleasure, self-respect, and peace of
mind.
(c) Realization of one’s potential, including opportunities for physical, intellectual,
moral, social, and spiritual striving and development.
(d) Fairness in the distribution of life possibilities. Individuals and cultures differ in how
they assess the “fair share” of society’s resources and opportunities for each person, but
the goal of fairness is universal.
(e) Freedom in economic and social relations. This means permitting individuals to make
as many small and large life choices for themselves as are possible within the limits of
responsible relations with others (and within the limits of their decision-making capacity,
as in the case of children).
(f) Participation in social decision making. Individuals should have the opportunity to
participate in the processes in which decisions are made that affect the members of
society as a collectivity and thereby define and regulate the society.
(g) A sense of meaning in one’s life; a reason or purpose for one’s efforts.
(h) Good social relations, including satisfying and trustful relations with intimates,
friends, family, business associates, and fellow citizens, along with respectful and
peaceful relations among nations.
(i) Ecological balance, such that natural resources and the natural environment are
sustained over the long run, for the well-being of present and future generations.
