Pope Benedict proposes a framework for human development that does not diminish the dignity of the human being and does not exclude anyone, thus "bringing about the development of the whole man of all women".

 The new problems and opportunities of a globalised world and explores in detail. Pope Benedict encourages us to imbue global trends with a respect for life and civilization  of love. He explores economic development by pointing out that there must exist, beyond 'the state' and 'the market', an area of civil society characterised by fraternal charity - both locally and globally.

Benedict calls for respect for the environement but always within a context that in turn respect the ecology of mankind.
