The Role of the Production of Material Values
1. Man’s conscious labour and his first tools marked the beginning of the establishment of human society. Human beings embarked upon an entirely new way of life, unlike the life led by animals. Animals can only make use of those which nature provides for them. Labour freed man from this complete dependence upon nature.
2. With the aid of his new tools man was able to get benefits from nature that were formerly inaccessible to him. He was also able to change these natural benefits and to make them more useful to himself. Tools of stone and wood made it possible for primitive man to considerably extend his use of material values.
3. Man began to kill large, strong animals and thus added quantities of nourishing meat products to his diet. He learned to work the skins of animals and used them to protect his body from the cold. Man also used his tools to build shelters. It was the production of material values that became the basis of life in human society.
4. As production developed man increased his active influence on nature. He found that he could fulfil his needs more readily through the material values he himself created.
5. The production of material values is not stationary; it grows, develops and is perfected constantly. In order to exist mankind must constantly produce material values in ever-increasing quantities.
6. The development of production is an objective necessity, independent of the will and desire of people. It is a law of social existence.
