How should we punctuate a sequence of examples?
For example:
"People starve to death (?) fight for their freedoms (?) strive for better lives (?) etc."

Question

People starve to death, fight for their freedoms, strive for better lives, and etc.
I believe this is the right punctuation because it is a series of things listed.

First of all, unless you use a complete sentence leading up to it, a colon should not precede a list.  However, if you DO use a complete sentence, you would separate the listed items with commas.

By the way, "For example" is a fragment.
