Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to show how cultural background is firmly interconnected with the way in which societies attempt to satisfy their basic human needs. A brief outline of the relationship governing human needs, cultural background and a society’s economic development is presented. The concept of human needs is presented in the chapter while it discusses the relationship between needs and economic growth. In addition the chapter shows the relationship among needs, economic growth (development) and cultural background. Finally, the chapter raises the issue of the relationship between the individual and society.
