theory of modernization perspective

First, modernization is a gradual process. The Ros theory of tow about taking off distinguishes different phases of growth
economy to be achieved by society, beginning with the period
primitive and simple to the people heading and ending on
an advanced and complex order. This can be seen in the case
Indonesia, when the theory of modernization is rolled out, Indonesia is still
in a very apprehensive condition as a product
colony. The traditional society and have not come into contact with
the technological world and the complex order of life. At the beginning
the state of Indonesia is independent, the condition of Indonesia can be said as a primitive nation. Then when Indonesia starts
with the new chapter, that is, during the New Order period, it is at this time the adoption of the concept of modernization begins. as already understood
by many, that development in Indonesia is indeed a nuance of modernization theory, it is not surprising for most Indonesian development consultants to be
an expert in the field of Modernization theory.

Mcclelland is one
examples of Indonesia's many coloring development consultants
development process in Indonesia.
Second, modernization as a homogenization process. No
it is argued that the process of modernization is a process
which demand similarity and resemblance, and it becomes an indica ??? tor that the development process is said to succeed. This homogeneous process takes place in several levels, the first being homogenization
internal, ie homogenization occurring within the same state. That is, among the people there is no imbalance
economic and social. The second is external homogenization ie
similarities and similarities between developed and emerging countries. This homogenizing character is one of the targets of modernization theory thinkers to carry out development in a way
effective. Despite the character, modernization faces
great criticism, that the idea of ​​homogenization is hardly
maybe to be realized. Because the process of cultural transfer between
developed countries and developing countries, is a transfer that is evo ??? lutif so it takes a relatively long time to
can realize homogenization targets.
Thirdly, modernization is the process of Europeanization and America, or more popularly, that modernization is the same as
west. It is seen that success is something that
is western. The western country is unrivaled in terms of economic and political welfare. And this developed country is made
mentors for developing countries. In more real terms, policy
industrialization and economic development are entirely modeled
things that developed countries do not pay attention to the bu ¬ bu factor and the local history of developing countries. Although, the current state
going forward is experiencing a tremendous economic crisis and the reality of developing countries is still not massively impacted.
This shows that Modernization theory is facing a great cry. The improvement of modernization theory especially the practice of development in developing countries needs to be done.
Fourth, modernization is a process that does not back down '
The process of modernization is an unstoppable process to begin with. In other words when it's done
contact with developed countries then the third world can not afford meno ??? lak process next. This can be seen in Process how
developing countries are constantly asking for help from advanced countries to help both financially and politically motivated interventions. Few of the third world countries do
rejection of the fourth assumption of this Modernization theory,
namely North Korea and Iran which firmly reject the intervention
conducted by developed countries.
Fifth, modernization is a progressive change 'This is
indeed accepted by the development thinkers, however
the side effects of this process are a consuming process
many victims are socially of course costly. As
example at the time of Kedungombo Reservoir, then the community
around Kedungombo is the most sacrificed element
and social costs are also increasingly expensive. Not to mention examples of modernization processes that involve or sacrifice a lot
people, the easiest to see is the process of making toll roads in | awa
which of course will cost a lot of social expenses.
Sixth, modernization takes time pani ang. Because modernization is an evolutionary process, so the change that can be seen is not necessarily fast. Thus, it takes a wakhr
the old to see the changes experienced, even the need of time between generations to see the whole process that run
modernization, including the impact experienced by the modernization process'
If the point of modernization is based on functional theory, then
modernization theory contains the assumption that modernization is
systematic processes, transformations, and continuous-menerts. First, as
pror., systematic. The process of modernization is a process involving
all aspects of life are hurried, including industrialization, urbanization, differentiation, secularization, centralization. And this makes up
the face of modernization as a regular form in comparison
an irregular process. Second, as the transforation process. This process gives meaning or meaning that modernization is a process that shapes from a traditional state of being
modern in all aspects of social culture. Third, as a process continously. The process of modernization involves social change
continously. Once social change occurs, then that social aspect
others will also be affected. Next, will be discussed about
the theories of choice included in Modernization theory.
