The document discusses modernization theory, which was a theory of development prominent in the 1950s. It posited that traditional societies would develop as they adopted more modern practices from Western societies. This would involve changes in values, social structures, and the adoption of Western models of government, industry, and technology. However, modernization theory made assumptions that ignored the colonial histories and contexts of non-Western societies. It presented Westernization as the only path to development and did not consider the social and environmental costs of the development model it promoted.

Encountering Development Chapter ONE by Arturo Escobar
This document provides a summary of Arturo Escobar's book "Encountering Development: The Making and Unmaking of the Third World" published in 1995. It discusses how the book examines the history of development discourse and how it led to the production of the "Third World". It analyzes how development was established as a field of thought and reality following World War 2, influenced by works like Orientalism. The book aims to understand how development ideology and interventions have impacted societies over the last 40 years.

SOCIAL JUSTICE AND SOCIOLOGY:
AGENDAS FOR THE
TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY
JOE R, FEAGIN
University of Florida
The world's peoples face daunting challenges in the
twenty-first century. While apologists herald the globaliza-
tion of capitalism, many people on our planet experience
recurring economic exploitation, immiseration, and envi-
ronmental crises linked to capitalism's spread. Across the
globe social movements continue to raise the issues of
social justice and democracy. Given the new century's
serious challenges, sociologists need to rediscover their
roots in a sociology committed to social justice, to cultivate and extend the long-
standing "countersystem" approach to research, to encourage greater self-reflection
in sociological analysis, and to re-emphasize the importance ofthe teaching of soci-
ology. Finally, more sociologists should examine the big social questions of this
century, including the issues of economic exploitation, social oppression, and the
looming environmental crises. And, clearly, more sociologists should engage in the
study of alternative social futures, including those of more just and egalitarian soci-
eties. Sociologists need to think deeply and imaginatively about sustainable social
futures and to aid in building better human societies.
WE STAND today at the beginning ofa challenging new century. Like
ASA Presidents before me, I am conscious
of the honor and the responsibility that this
address carries with it, and I feel a special
obligation to speak about the role of sociol-
ogy and sociologists in the twenty-first cen-
tury. As we look forward, let me quote W. E.

This document provides an overview and analysis of Walter Rostow's five-stage model of development and its relevance to concepts of globalization. It discusses how Rostow proposed linear stages of development culminating in a Western-style mass consumption society. It also critiques Rostow's model as privileging Westernization, being top-down, and not considering external factors or grassroots development approaches. The document concludes by noting how modernization projects faced new forms of resistance in the era of globalization from social groups who felt marginalized.

This document discusses different metaphors and perspectives of globalization:
1. Solid, liquid, and flow metaphors are used to describe globalization - solid representing barriers between nations, liquid representing removing barriers and increased interconnectivity, and flow representing movement of people, goods, and ideas.
2. There are three main perspectives on globalization - hyper-globalists see declining nation-states and growing global processes, skeptics believe globalization is not new and nation-states remain powerful, and transformationalists see nation-states transforming through globalization.
3. Theories of globalization discussed include world systems theory, modernization theory, and dependency theory, each focusing on different aspects of globalization and development.

F soc usic lecture three
The document discusses the history and development of sociology. It outlines how sociology emerged in response to the Industrial and French Revolutions, which prompted thinkers like Comte, Durkheim, Marx, and Weber to develop theories to understand rapidly changing social structures. It summarizes their key ideas, like Comte's positivism, Durkheim's concept of social facts, Marx's focus on class conflict under capitalism, and Weber's emphasis on rationalization and social action. Overall, the document traces how sociology established itself as a science aimed at understanding social order, change, and problems in modern industrial societies.
Religion and Globalization.pptx
The document discusses several perspectives on globalization and its effects on cultural and religious identities. It states that globalization both corrodes inherited identities but also encourages the creation of new identities to gain control in the global power structure. Religion can both further and oppose globalization at the same time. Globalization relativizes particularistic identities and religions, but revitalizing religion is a way for groups to assert their identity and compete for influence. For many Muslims, pressures toward relativizing religion and identity are seen as demands to abandon who they are and what they hold sacred. The document then reviews several theorists' perspectives on globalization as a radical change, the challenges it poses to religions, and its effects on economies, polities, communication,
Neoliberalism manuel
The document discusses several theories related to development and underdevelopment, including neoliberalism, dependency theory, and world systems theory. It provides background on the key figures and concepts within dependency theory, such as Andre Gunder Frank and Fernando Henrique Cardoso. It also summarizes Wallerstein's world systems theory, which divides countries into cores, semi-peripheries, and peripheries. Modernization theory is discussed as well, including its assumptions about development as a progressive, homogenizing process. Criticisms of these theories are noted, such as that development is not necessarily unidirectional and traditional and modern values can co-exist.
6,7 - Globalisation & Global inequality.pdf
This document discusses globalization and global inequality. It begins by outlining the learning objectives which focus on understanding globalization's influences, processes, and impacts as well as theories of global inequality. It then provides context on modernity and how industrialization led to more connected global societies. Several theories of global inequality are described including dependency theories, world system theories, and global commodity chain theories. Key dimensions of increasing inequality are examined, particularly the impact of new technologies in creating both opportunities and new digital divides. Overall policies to promote inclusive growth and ensure technological benefits are broadly shared are advocated.
CHAPTER 2 Global Economy.pptx
The document discusses various theories of global stratification and economic globalization. It describes how the global economy has transformed in recent decades due to increasing economic integration across borders. Nations can be classified into wealthier developed/core countries and poorer developing/peripheral countries based on factors like industrialization and economic development. Modernization theory argues that cultural values like hard work led to wealth in core nations, while dependency theory says peripheral nations were exploited and prevented from developing. World systems theory proposes that core nations exploit peripheral nations to maintain their dominance in the global hierarchy.
NUSRAT document
1. The document discusses the emergence and characteristics of mass society. Mass society first emerged in the late 19th century during the Second Industrial Revolution as large impersonal institutions replaced traditional social structures.
2. Key characteristics of mass society include homogeneity, extended scale of organizations, collectivities like families becoming more localized, and reliance on local face-to-face communication over mediated communication.
3. Mass society emerged alongside industrialization, which led to exploitation of laborers, as well as developments in education, leisure, women's rights, and changes to social structures. Universal education and expanded literacy contributed to the growth of mass media and new forms of leisure.
Neoliberalism
This document provides an overview of three major development theories: modernization theory, dependency theory, and world systems theory.
1. Modernization theory emerged in the 1950s and viewed development as a linear process where traditional societies modernize by adopting Western values like industrialization, capitalism, and secularism. It was criticized for being ethnocentric and ignoring that development can occur through different paths.
2. Dependency theory arose in the 1950s-1960s as an alternative to modernization theory. It argues that underdeveloped countries are not backward but rather dependent on developed countries that exploit them as suppliers of cheap labor and raw materials. This hinders their development and benefits core nations.
3. World systems theory,
Modernization theory
This document provides an overview of modernization theory. It discusses:
1) The emergence of modernization theory in the late 1940s/1950s as a response to concerns about the spread of communism in developing countries. The theory promoted the adoption of Western capitalist and democratic models of development.
2) Modernization theory viewed developing countries as "traditionally" held back from development due to cultural barriers, and proposed they develop through industrialization and adopting Western values/institutions with assistance from Western countries.
3) Critics argue modernization theory promoted an overly simplistic view that did not account for diversity in development paths or historical/cultural contexts of different societies. The theory was also seen as ethn

Degrowth and inequality : the link between ecological and social crisis
This document summarizes Hervé Kempf's presentation on the link between ecological and social crises. [1] The growing inequality between the very rich oligarchy and the rest of society is exacerbating environmental damage because the oligarchy sets a culture of excessive consumption. [2] Reducing consumption by the wealthy elite would help address both social injustice and environmental degradation by lowering overall resource use and inspiring less wasteful social norms. [3] Tackling inequality is thus key to averting deeper ecological and economic crises.
Process of change
Social change refers to alterations in a society's social order, institutions, behaviors, or relations. All cultures experience both forces that encourage change through new ideas and forces that encourage resisting change for stability. There are three general sources of influence that can cause both social change and resistance: 1) Forces within a society like new inventions or loss of cultural practices; 2) Contact between societies through processes like diffusion of new ideas and practices, acculturation of one culture by another, or transculturation of individuals adopting a new culture; 3) Changes in the natural environment.

Students will develop comparative understanding through analyzing significant events, trends and systems thematically. They will write essays, take exams and complete other assignments requiring comparative analysis of historical information from a global perspective. The course aims to prepare students for the AP World History exam in May.
Processes of change
Social change can be driven by forces within and between societies. Within societies, processes like invention, culture loss, habit, and integration of cultural traits can both encourage and resist change. Between societies, diffusion of ideas and traits, acculturation as entire cultures adopt foreign patterns, and transculturation of individuals in new societies can change cultures. Contact between societies can also result in resistance through ethnocentrism and perceptions of "us vs. them". Environmental changes can additionally impact social change.
World System Theory & Burma
World-systems theory views the world as a single historical system with three types of countries: core countries that control global capitalism, semi-peripheral countries that have some characteristics of both core and peripheral countries, and peripheral countries that focus on low-skilled labor and resource extraction. This international division of labor reinforces the dominance of core countries over time. World-systems theory emerged in the 1970s as an alternative to modernization theory, criticizing its focus only on states and assumption of a single development path. Dependency theory, influenced by world-systems theory, holds that the global capitalist system serves to maintain underdevelopment in peripheral and semi-peripheral countries.

This document summarizes Kent Wilkinson's lecture on social scientific and interpretive traditions in international communication research. It discusses two main traditions - effects research that focuses on how messages elicit responses, and political economy/interpretation research prevalent in Europe. It also outlines three paradigms in development communication - modernization, dependency, and alternative approaches emphasizing local participation. The document contrasts social scientific and humanistic approaches to theory and research.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Processes of change
Social change can be driven by forces within and between societies. Within societies, processes like invention, culture loss, habit, and integration of cultural traits can both encourage and resist change. Between societies, diffusion of ideas and traits, acculturation as entire cultures adopt foreign patterns, and transculturation of individuals in new societies can change cultures. Contact between societies can also result in resistance through ethnocentrism and perceptions of "us vs. them". Environmental changes can additionally impact social change.
World System Theory & Burma
World-systems theory views the world as a single historical system with three types of countries: core countries that control global capitalism, semi-peripheral countries that have some characteristics of both core and peripheral countries, and peripheral countries that focus on low-skilled labor and resource extraction. This international division of labor reinforces the dominance of core countries over time. World-systems theory emerged in the 1970s as an alternative to modernization theory, criticizing its focus only on states and assumption of a single development path. Dependency theory, influenced by world-systems theory, holds that the global capitalist system serves to maintain underdevelopment in peripheral and semi-peripheral countries.
Wilkinson U Navarra Day1
This document summarizes Kent Wilkinson's lecture on social scientific and interpretive traditions in international communication research. It discusses two main traditions - effects research that focuses on how messages elicit responses, and political economy/interpretation research prevalent in Europe. It also outlines three paradigms in development communication - modernization, dependency, and alternative approaches emphasizing local participation. The document contrasts social scientific and humanistic approaches to theory and research.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
