Since security is one of the most important components of human life, attention should be paid to all its dimensions and types, such as personal and social security, and none of them should be neglected. In the absence of one type, the absence of the other is inevitably realized. If the security of the individual is not established, we cannot have a peaceful society. Therefore, we would like to state the types of security, focusing on personal security and the factors that influence its creation.
Types of Security
Security is an irreplaceable blessing and is considered one of the basic needs of individuals and societies in all aspects, including personal, social, political, cultural, economic, and judicial. Creating and expanding security for all is a duty of the people and governments.
Security has always been regarded as one of the most essential human needs, from the beginning of life to its end. This natural human need enables individuals to respond to their other needs under the protection of security. No school or legal system can consider itself indifferent to the issue of security and peace, as security is not only one of the most fundamental human needs but also a vital factor for the cultural, social, political, scientific, and economic growth and development of society. In this text, the importance and role of security in human life will be discussed.
Today, it is evident that nations lacking security are typically backward in all spheres of life and have not achieved growth and development. Security is one of the most important factors for progress; without it, people cannot fully engage in their activities. Individuals will not take effective measures until they feel secure about their assets, lives, and dignity, causing them to focus on protecting these aspects.
Among the various types of security, personal and social security are particularly important. By discussing these two types, we can generally encompass other forms of security. These types may be individual (related to each person or a small group) or social (pertaining to society as a whole). Therefore, we will describe these two types initially, and in subsequent sections, we will also mention other types of security.
