The most commonly used definition by scholars is the definition of Barry Buzan in his book People, States, and Fear says that:
"Security, in any objective sense, measures the absence of threat to acquired values, in a wiki sense, the absence of fear that such values will be attacked" (Buzan, 1991:4).
Then from the definitions that have been mentioned by the penstudi HI can be seen that the security threat is the lack of values needed to live a human life.
While the concept of a threat to its own security Ullman defined as:
"An action or sequence of events that (1) Threatens drastically and over A relatively brief span of time to degrade the quality of life for the inhabitants of a state or (2) Threatens Significantly to narrow the range of policy choices available to government of a state, or to private, nongovernmental entities (persons, groups, corporations) within the state "(Ullman, 1983:133).
Meanwhile, according to Simon Dalby, the security dimension in the study of International Relations has experienced a shift from the traditional perspective that is limited to war and peace. Towarda non-traditional perspective that emphasizes human security and contains more aspects. Security is no longer focused on interstate relations, but also on the security of society (Dalby, 2003:102-103).
Peter Hough said that the definition of security is still a 'contested concept', or a concept that will continue to grow (Hough, 2004:15). However Viotti and Kauppi has defined the defense and security as the basis of a country's protection, and safety concept applies to individuals as well as groups (Viotti and Kauppi, 1999:56). While Indonesian dictionary defines security as a situation that is protected from hazards (safety objective), f...

Safety and security needs may include job security, having a savings account, insurance policies, and finacial security, and health and well-being. People feel the need to control this aspect of their lives to make them feel more secure. This need for safety and security contributes largely to behaviors at this level (Cherry, 2017). Together, the safety and physiological levels of the hierarchy make up what is often reffered to as the basic needs (Cherry, 2017). Financial security plays a role in people’s behaviors. For an example, someone struggling with finances may be unhappy and feel insecure about how they may pay for something. Whether people realize it or not safety and security play a huge role in how people feel and as well as their behaviors. If a person feels unsafe or uncertain in the environment they are in they will seek to meet the highest level of needs for safety. Safety and security needs are an important part of survival. If someone is not aware of how to determine their environment is dangerous and need to meet the level of safety and security it could be harmful to them. Safety and security are almost as important as physiological

The purpose of this essay is to inform on the similarities and differences between systemic and domestic causes of war. According to World Politics by Jeffry Frieden, David Lake, and Kenneth Schultz, systemic causes deal with states that are unitary actors and their interactions with one another. It can deal with a state’s position within international organizations and also their relationships with other states. In contract, domestic causes of war pertain specifically to what goes on internally and factors within a state that may lead to war. Wars that occur between two or more states due to systemic and domestic causes are referred to as interstate wars.

This fear, primarily caused by the effects of the War on Terror has spawned what the author calls a “homeland ¬security-industrial complex” and cost American citizens billions of dollars.

The end of the Cold War created an environment for the emergence of Constructivist and post-modern approaches to the concept of security, which enabled to address issues that were previously ignored by Realists. However, Michael Williams has argued that identity has not been missing from theorising prior to the end of...
Social conflict is as old as human history (Ho-Won Jeong, 2008), it’s dynamics, process and solution has been a subject of inquiry among early thinkers—Machiavelli, Hobbes, Hume, Rousseau etc. Concived by Coser (1968) as “struggle over values or claims to status, power, and scarce resources, in which the aim of the conflicting parties are not only to gain the desired values, but also to neutralize, injure, or eliminate their rivals” (cited in Onyia 2005, p. 17). Efforts at understanding causes and dynamics of social conflict have yielded various typologies. While some of which—corelate of war (COW)—focused on inter-state related wars, thus defined conflict as “involving at least one member of intersate system on each side of the war, resulting
National security undeniably has a preponderant place in the political, economical and military agenda of each state. Therefore, the state has a paramount responsibility in the contexts of its own domestic and transnational security. Whatever may be the way the state adopts in order to protect itself and its citizens, it needs to be accord with an international system. In this sense the state tends to follow a specific model in terms of international relations. Focuses in the case of western societies in general, and more specifically the United States as the iconic model of the western world, states tend to favour a realist perspective in terms of national security. Albeit, what is exactly the realism theory in the national security field? According to Glaser the realist view proposes the achievement of most high standard quality of national security focused on the acquisition of superior grades of power among the relative states sparking the idea of the presence of an anarchical international system .
In order to portrait the necessity of collaboration and security of social communities one must consider the fact that the human, as a social being has developed a series of social structures. This vision details quite readily what has become a major preoccupation with security threats in the world today: challenges to statehood itself, rather than challenges from interstate rivalry are “asymmetric” threats, nuclear proliferation, transnational criminal networks and the environment as a source of threat, as well as global inequality as a threat. It also outlines that the threats to “human security” have become of increasing relevance to the discourse of security.
Life is loaded with dangers and instabilities since, we are social individuals; we have certain obligations too to minimize these dangers. Since we are individuals we have faith in future instead of the present and craving to have a superior and secured future. In such manner, an extra security administration has its own particular worth as far as serving as reserve funds, speculation and danger assurance. As indicated by Raja (1998) Protection is the pooling of serendipitous misfortunes by exchange of such dangers to back up plans (Insurance agencies), who consent to repay safeguarded, for such misfortunes, to give other monetary advantage on their event or to render administrations
In this second level, the security wants become vigorous and full of life. Unlike young ones who always present traces of insecurity and requisite of being safe, the grown-ups little forget the need of this want and it is only when they are exposed to emergency cases or situations where they have a muddled social setup like an extensive riot when they realize the essence of safety needs.
