Define development in the views of James Draver.
Answers
Answer:
Explanation: The authors assert that a paradox exists: teachers, researchers, and practitioners recognize the need .for a general theory of development; yet, many of these individuals perpetuate the need by referring to “community development” or other types of development without attempting to explicitly define the concept of development itself. They also assert that this paradox can be resolved by a definition of development which links the orientations of three disciplines—economics,. sociology, and ethics. To define development as a process in which increasingly more members of a given area or environment make and implement socially responsible decisions, the probable consequence of which is an increase in the life chances of some people without a decrease in the life chances of others, has two advantages. One is that it aids a focus on the immediate and subsequent effect (s) which behaviour has on the individual decision-maker and on the social structure of which he is a part. The other is that it provides a basis for an orientation which encourages the identification of individual behavior and structural conditions that simultaneously advance the private and public welfare.
