Question

What does it mean to be secure?

विकल्प

• Security refers to safety from vulnerabilities (both external and internal) that could harm the state, societies within the state, and the values of those societies. 

• Security means freedom to enjoy the things that are most important to human survival and well-being, such as food, healthcare, and the opportunity to live well.

• All of the above

Answer 1

All of the above

Explanation:

A common understanding of what Security Studies entails has emerged: security is concerned with threats to survival. Contrary to popular belief, contemporary security theorists argue that war and the threat of using force are only one component of the security equation, and not necessarily the most important. Today, security can encompass a wide range of threats, from global health pandemics to military invasion.
