Human Security and its Challenges (original) (raw)

Human Security is the most desirable and necessary element of any society. Human insecurity poses a threat to the survival and growth of both individual and society. Several studies and researches have been concentrating on terrorism, plagues, scarcity, climate change and ill-political conditions as challenges for human security, but this paper with unique understanding highlights the Psychological effects as a main approach towards human security. Cultural and Social elements are also discussed in the paper as the immediate and most challenging issues of human security. Although there are various organizations like the United Nations, Human Rights Watch, Interpol, Red Cross and other NGOs working on the lines of human security, there is a lot more to do as an individual in the society to avert the human insecurities in the present globalized world. The social awakening and responsibility should be invoked in every individual person to create a world class security atmosphere. Not only the war between the borders of the various sovereign territories but also the inner psychological war between the mind and soul of an individual has to be settled in order to achieve the sustainable and millennium development goals in the world we live. Therefore, psychology of an individual plays a key role in shaping the society and therefore the human security which is described in this paper.
