The sense of security that comes with feeling like you belong highly motivates you. Comfort for you is knowing the people and things you cherish are taken care of. {% hint style="success" %} ### Value items social order, family security, national security, clean, reciprocation of favours, **healthy, moderate, sense of belonging** {% endhint %} ![Security](/files/BiH8jpE2pQfM2msMVtZS) ### Defining goal safety, harmony, and stability of society, relationships, and of self. Security values derive from basic individual and group requirements (cf. Kluckhohn, 1951; Maslow, 1965). Some security values serve primarily individual interests (e.g., clean), others wider group interests (e.g., national security). Even the latter, however, express, to a significant degree, the goal of security for self or those with whom one identifies. ### Subtypes * societal (safety, stability and order (security) in the wider society) * personal (safety, stability and order (security) of self and one's immediate environment) {% hint style="info" %} Schwartz, S.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.climatemind.org/knowledge-base/theory-of-basic-values/conservation/security.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
