REACTION PAPER ON THE MEANINGS OF DEVELOPMENT
I think that the article of George Kent published by North-Holland Publishing
Company and named the meanings of development gave adequate information about
different definitions of development. I see that we were being presented with the idea
that the country's development is not measured in just one indicator to say it is
progressive, but it must contain more than one indicator to measure and prove its
growth. I feel that the author was to hint the readers, to think further about the
development we experience, and the main idea that comes from our mind when we
hear the word industrialization it always pops up in our mind that it alleviates poverty,
but no, it is concentrated on the national growth rather than individualistic development.
It seems that we believe that when our economy grows, it means that poverty in our
country is reduced, but no, even does industrialization provides many jobs opportunity
to the people. However, the waged still not enough for their living needs and but to ease
that this article they tend to promote growth with equity this is the idea of them about the
development. They argue that development is not only about the growth of the
economy, but it also needs changes in the distribution of wealth, and that is why they
advocate it with the equal distribution of wealth in order to sustain other needs, not just
the wealthy class experience development but also in the middle and the lower class to
attain it as growth with equity. In my opinion, there are ways people think about
development; we have different meanings of what development is, but development
must not only focus on national development. But also, in the people's development,
because we often see that we are statistically developing that embedded in papers that
we are experiencing development but why middle and lower class does not feel it.
Maybe only the higher class can feel the development. That is why they must provide
equitable solutions to those circumstances to embrace the true development they
presented in numbers or a graph form.
A good quote from Gunnar Myrdal mentioned that economic development
ultimately requires a change in the way people think, feel, and act. In this part,
development not literally means about the nation growth but also has a definition in a
humanistic approach. It seems it must start from you to build consciousness about what
you are doing and understand that your work has a purpose. You do it because you like
it, and you are not forced to do it. Those lines give me a question to ponder more. In
addition, in the part of human development, they stressed the condition of
consciousness, between the low consciousness, which link to the tied of helplessness.
While with high consciousness, is it means a capacity for judging that the way things are
is not necessarily the way they ought to be or have to be. Further, building
consciousness relates to human growth, and growth must mean transcending limits. For
example, before, I didn't know how to ride a motorcycle but, as I grew up, I discovered
to ride a motorcycle because the article says that real growth is what you couldn't do
before; you can do now.
Moreover, social development emphasizes that consciousness does not occur to
individuals in isolation but refers to the community and not just a single individual.
However, a specific statement asserts that a nation's growth in GNP doesn't mean that
they are developed. Consequently, it backs to the article stating that to grow is to do
something tomorrow that you were not able to do yesterday. Finally, those lines make
me understand and strengthen my belief that a traditional measure can't give us the
concrete result of development. In conclusion, development has a lot of faces. It is not
just for the economic growth of a nation or to reduce the number of poor people but also
to alleviate powerlessness. I believe that poor people also belong to powerlessness.
They must give aid for that problem to heal that as soon as possible.
