Social development theory / Kim Ami

Summary
The theory of
social development tries to explain the qualitative changes in social structure
and framework so that society's goals and goals can be better realized.
Development is an upward movement characterized by all levels of energy,
efficiency, quality, productivity, complexity, understanding, creativity,
mastery, enjoyment and achievement, which can be defined in a way applicable to
all societies of all historical periods. The basic mechanism driving social
change is to increase awareness leading to better organization. Therefore,
development is not a material factor, but a human process in that humans lead
development. The most powerful means of spreading and maintaining new
developments is the education system. Education conveys the collective
knowledge of society from one generation to the next, and it allows the new
generation to equip itself with the knowledge collected from the past against
future evaporation and challenges.
The limitations
of past developments are determined by the availability of physical resources.
Human beings relied on muscle power rather than thought power to achieve work,
but today mental resources have become the main determinant of development.
Since there is no inherent limit to the expansion of the mental resources of
society, the concept of a growing system is ultimately nonbinding. If you look
at the development path of this development, it is made up of physical, vital,
and mental steps. The relative duration of these three phases and the pace of
transition from one society to another varies from society to society.

Interesting point
What was interesting was that development was greatly
influenced by education. In fact, society is made better by learning from
people who have experienced development. In other words, the wide experience of
advanced countries is utilized by countries that have yet to develop.

Discuission
So has Korea
developed enough for other countries to learn about various experiences in
development from Korea?
I think so. Our country was destroyed in general during the Korean War, including economy and politics. Since then, Korea has grown into one of the world's top 20 powerhouses through such efforts, including the five-year economic development plan and the reflective benefits from hosting the 1988 Seoul Olympics, and I think other underdeveloped countries deserve to be imitated.
