Journal Article
From the Referential Pattern of Universal Values (RPUV) to a new Index of Human Development (HDI)
2024
Overview
This work pursues two theoretical objectives: first, the
instrumental
one: to report on a \"Referential Pattern of Universal Values (RPUV)\" that allows simple mathematical formulations on certain basic concepts in Sociology; and second, the
finalist
: to propose, in the light of these formulations, a new \"Human Development Index (HDI)\" that can replace that of the United Nations and other organizations. This second objective will be based on three precise criticisms: first, because the known indices are limited to the sum of a few indicators, but they do not contemplate the
totality
of \"needs and values\" required in the RPUV; second, because the said sum does not reflect the internal
imbalance
between the indicators; and third, because it could be a quotient by incorporating the “export of arms” as a highly undesirable fact for humanity in the
denominator
. It will be easy therefore to see the fundamental role that the RPUV fulfills.
