On the point: Matter of The "west" needing to take some social education

Opposition's argument comes to a matter of definition of what is security and how do you define it. Education in making people aware of a threat and the solutions in countering that threat can fall under the umbrella of security.

People need to realise some that resources are finite and there are plenty of energy sources that are pretty much infinite (or won't be exhaustible for a few million years) like our sun. The real culprits here are not developing countries but 'developed' countries. I use quotation marks because they are only developed in their economies. Humans have lost their humanity and people need to realise this. The next step in human evolution is that everybody lives with the same level of comfort and at the very least clean drinking water, food and a roof over one's head. Some people are extremely rich and really don't deserve to be when others do not even have a single drop of clean drinking water. This is not a security issue this is a humanitarian crisis and drastic action needs to be taken to combat this not lecturing from the greedy West.

Yes, because...
