Personality development and self-realization as an essence of security in an individual and social dimension

A human being functions in a contemporary reality, which is marked by an uncertainty, a risk and concerns about fundamental values, an ambivalence and an axiological relativism. Therefore, people can feel decrease in their sense of security in both personal and social dimensions. Due to the issues discussed in this paper it is important to acknowledge a security as a process, which is changing and evolving. Since an action and development are included in achieving optimal security, the impact of personality and as a further consequence one of the most dominant human need i.e. self-realization should also be included. If a human being has well-formed need for creating themselves, they function as a creator, or at least a co-creator of their own development and security.
