Human beings are born in this world like other creatures. But human’s life is different from those of other creatures. The relationship of human beings is tied up from family, community, society to the state. So, many options and analytical thoughts are found about the uniformity of the world human society. Various states have been introduced based on different political situation, system and thought and have divided the world. Human society beside on community, society, race and racial culture. As people entertain to be divided into various states based on the language, culture, religion, caste and racial traits, different communities and states have been organized. Unlike ancient system, the modern state mechanism has not created a long gap between rulers and ruled. But many state mechanisms have not managed the civic necessity properly.
a. Life and Nature:-
Human beings have unlimited necessities. People should be able to fulfill all those necessities themselves and they have been fulfilling too. The nature has developed and established people as human beings. It is the responsibility of nature also. The nature has not ceased that responsibility. A human is developed physically due to the boon of nature. Gradually, he/she grows into child then adult and matured person and becomes able to do the welfare of the community, society and nation. A human gets all those necessary traits by the nature from birth until he/she becomes a matured person. All the substances are required free of cost from nature. Thus, human beings are grateful to nature for her attributes and spend their life joyfully in the nature. It means nature has responsibility in the development of human life and human beings have accountability for the protection of nature. Due to this co-operative condition, it has been proved that human life is natural.
b. State and citizen:-
Every human in the world is the citizen of the state of the world. A state without citizen cannot be imagined and a citizen does not have existence in statelessness. Therefore, citizens and state are complementary to each other. The main responsibility of the state is to ensure the status of a responsible citizen to all the people inhabiting within the state. The state should be able to provide three compulsory services free of cost to ensure that all the people are honest citizens. Those services are to be provided in such a way that the nature, under the shade of sky has provided water, air and light, the fundamental elements for human development. The nature also has provided the elements free of cost. The following necessary services should be provided for the personality development of the citizen.

2. Health,
3. Justice.

It is a fundamental right to get justice.
But the modern justice does not seem scientific. Therefore, the citizens of developing countries don’t have easy access to justice .A common citizen needs to pay court fee to get justice. In many developing countries, people cannot have justice even if they are able to pay fee for it. They are denied justice because it is measured by money. In such countries, people cannot have justice despite spending money for it. To get justice is life and bearing injustice is death.
