Developmentalist theory is a theory of Economic development which was presented after the WWII with the “Marshallian Plan”. Marshallian plan was reconstructing and creating a strong economic foundation for Western countries of Europe. What is developmentalism? Developmentalitism is an economic theory which states that the best way for third world countries to develop through strong internal market and high imposing tariff on imports. The theory is based on the assumption that not only are there similar stages to development for all countries but also that there is a linear movement from one stage to another that goes from traditional or primitive to modern or industrialized Main Principles of Developmentalism Developmentalism is based on …show more content…
It is applicable to all nations of the world thus it is claimed to be discussed on an international level. It’s sole purpose is economic development, which after all, is what all economies are striving for. It aims to redesign and expand Third World development through menas of developed world. The theory is applicable to all without obstacle associated with disparities between nations. The example of Botswana Botswana was once an extremely poor nation at independence but through practice of developmentalism, is now a middle income country. It was landlocked, surrounded by hostile neighbours but also resource rich which aided the development process. At independence in 1966, Botswana was rated among the poorest states in the world with a per capita GDP of only US$283. Between 1966 and 1999, Botswana had the highest rate of economic growth in the world and way ahead of rest of Africa. The country has enjoyed peace, stability and independence since its founding. Botswana has so far been successful in utilizing the financial capital from mining to drive and sustain economic growth and development. The example of Thailand Thailand became an upper middle income economy in 2011. Over the last four decades, Thailand has made remarkable progress in social and economic development, moving from a low-income country to an upper-income country in less than a …show more content…
It also lacks coherence and the academic community itself. The school of thought also attempted to create a universal system, which in theory, is not efficient when addressing real world problems and providing real pictures. Criticism Developmentalism is a school of thought that based on “neo-colonialism” belief, which allows established economies or nations to colonize those nations that are backward or underdeveloped. This has been witnessed throughout history that such dominance over the weak is never stable and always wreaks havoc and conflict among nations. It also implies Western supremacy over underdeveloped nations, which is not morally and ethically correct as all human beings have equal rights and no nation must be claimed superior to another. It also preaches that “It is okay to exploit the weak for personal benefit”. The concept of “disaster capitalism” is relevant in this aspect, which allows great nations like America to exploit economic crises for their own purposes and causing impairment to weaker economies like Argentina
Cognitive development theory that was an advanced restructuring of mental processes resulting from biological development and environmental experience. He believed that children idea and accepting of the world. The ecological theory, is a developmental theory that serves to explain how a child's environment has an emotional impact how he or she develops. Sociocultural theory is an evolving theory in psychology that looks at the significant influences that society creates to individual development.
The two theories I have chosen are Terrie Moffitt’s dual pathway developmental theory and Sampson and Laub’s age-graded developmental theory. Moffitt’s dual pathway theory really focuses on the relationship between age and crime. Moffitt looks at the life-course of offenders to see where the criminal habit developed. She categorizes offenders into two categories: life-course persistent offenders and adolescent-limited offenders. Life-course offenders make up the smallest percentage of criminals but also make up the highest percentage of crime.
The Economist professionally layers the article together with concise specific parts that each a have their own moral story. Throughout the article, The Economist is very confident in presenting their data and information. As mention before, the stories appeal to both pathos and ethos. These stories are gloomy but, they provide the foundation to apply morals and values to help these individuals. These statements, “chronic poverty remains relatively rare”, “The finical crisis made things worse…” shows descriptive and politically charged statements (par 12).
it has a history of political instability and colonialism, of being ignored by the major powers when it is not being exploited by them." Thus, Pitts expresses his message by telling the audience that even if being exploited by major powers doesn't seem like a natural disaster, it really is. This statement proves that the earth is cruel because human beings induce much of the chaos, and human beings are a part of this earth just as much as the wind and rain. Moreover, this further demonstrates the main point of the essay because it shows how human beings, who can suffer and be victims, can be tyrannical as well. Pitts continues to support this idea by using figurative language such as similes.
The nature vs. nurture debate centers on whether human behaviour and personality are inherited (nature) or acquired (nurture); in other words, whether a person’s environment or a person’s genetic inheritance determines their behaviour and personality. Goldsmith and Harman (1994) adopt a neutral position, in which both nature and nurture influence people, stating that they “believe that the fundamental issue concerns the interplay between characteristics of the individual and of the relationship” (54). Goldsmith and Harman discuss temperament and attachment for infant, with temperament being linked to the nature side of the debate and attachment being linked with the nurture side; as a result, the infant’s temperament influences the attachment bond between the infant and the mother, but the attachment bond influences the temperament of the child as well. Therefore, both nature and nurture interact with each other to produce people’s behaviour (Harman et al. 54). Andersen and Berk (1998) take on the nurture perspective, while Leary (1999) claims that nature is the determining factor of a person’s personality.
The various development theories could greatly help us in guiding and caring for children. As every child is unique and does have different experiences, there is no single theory that can effectively explain
Introduction: In this assignment I will apply development theory to real life scenarios. Dr. Berger an author and professor at the City University of New York states, “A developmental theory is a systematic statement of general principals that provide a framework for understanding how and why people change as they grow older.” Therefore, I will be analyzing and applying real life scenarios to the life of my son Christopher Ramirez and explain how his development is associated with very specific theories or a theorist. This developmental theory will be applied to all four age ranges which are: the first two years (0-2), the play years (2-6), the school years (7-11), and the adolescence years (11-18).
Distributional concerns could be taken care of in the political process; more moderate advocates of Washington consensus policies deny the charge. The policies pursued by the international financial institutions which came to be called the Washington consensus policies or neo liberalism entailed a much more circumscribed role for the state than were embraced by most of the East Asian countries, a set of policies which came to be called the development state. Some economists have argued that free trade is not necessarily the best option for developing economies. It can cause the economies to primarily only produce low income growth and their primary products. If the countries promotes new industries, it may require both selective tariffs on cheap imports and as well as government

So, in this assignment I am going to talk about the four major developmental theories which focused on the development of the human. And also the relationship between the development theories and the learning and how to apply those theories on the real world teaching. The Four Major Developmental Theories It is very important
Behaviourism: Behaviourism assumes that a learner is fundamentally flaccid, replying to environmental incentives. Behaviour theorists states learning as nothing more than the attainment of new behaviour. In this theory Language acquisition is the result of stimulus-response activities where factors that facilitate are imitation, replication, reward and reinforcement. Cognitivism Cognitivists are related with ‘cognition’ and how it marks individual ‘learning’.
Learning Theory and The Role It Plays in Education Introduction Learning theories are used every day in classrooms all over America, educational theorist Lev Vygotsky, Jean Piaget, Benjamin Bloom and Jerome Bruner introduced constructivism and social constructivism theories (cognitive development, social development, and developmental). The theories developed by Vygotsky, Piaget, Bloom, and Bruner share similarities and differences, and throughout the years have been compared for educational discoveries. Learning theories are extremely important for educators, because learning is an active process. Theorist/Theory #1 Lev Vygotsky and the Zone of Proximal Development (ZDP), is the belief that students learn from adults who are more advanced
For the purpose of this essay, a child developmental theory will be referred to as an approach and development will be defined as “the pattern of movement or change that begins at conception and continues through the life span” (Santrock, 2011, pp.6). This essay
DEVELOPMENT PSYCHOLOGY: REFLECTIVE ESSAY In life of an individual there are several developmental changes or events which occur as continuity of span of life. Some of life developmental stages include infantile, adolescence, maturity, and adulthood. These phases have biological, social, psychological and physiognomic reasons to which an individual completed the course of life. Psychological analysis upon the developmental stages include the focus on characterization, demarcation and the social interaction of individual’s life (Baltes & Schaie, 2013).
His approach takes into account the capitalist system as a whole. His work helps us to account for the disparities evidenced in the world between the developed and the underdeveloped world as a result of capitalism. This may be used as a basis for prescribing long term solutions to continued underdevelopment in third world
