The given statements are not entirely the same. Different people may have different developmental goals according to their needs but they may not always be conflicting. Conflicting goals mean that development goals of a particular person or group is harmful for others. For example, a businessman and a student have different but non-conflicting developmental goals but developmental goals of a government like building a dam, can be harmful to displaced villagers.
