Answer 1

The notion of development according to the statement: "My actions not only affect others, but they also have an impact upon my own and others future possibilities" is that we need to make judicious and appropriate use of the given resources.

• In present times, the human being is constantly running after power and wealth which results in the extreme exploitation of limited resources like coal, petroleum, forests, etc.
• When one makes proper use of minimum resources and thinks of the future generation and their requirements while making development, this development is termed sustainable development.
• The given statement reflects this awareness about the need to save and judiciously use every resource such that the future generation can also proceed towards higher development goals.

Hence, the statement focuses on the use of resources for the development but with an awareness that it will impact his/her own and others future possibilities of growth.
