Abstract

There are in my view, many approaches to attacking the problem of development in the third world countries. There is an assumption that underdevelopment is an original state, which may be characterized by indices of traditionalism, and that, therefore, development consists of abandoning these characteristics and adopting those of the developed countries. Hoseltiz (1960) argues that achievement orientation, and functional specificity, while underdeveloped ones are characterized by their opposites — particularism, ascription, and functional diffuseness. To develop, Hoselitz counsels, underdeveloped and countries should eliminate the pattern variables of underdevelopment and adopt those of developed countries.
