Why did the theory of modernization emerged ?

  • A.To guide the developing countries about their development
  • B.Providing loan to developing countries
  • C.Giving economic support to the developing countries
  • D.To give lessons of politics to the developing countries

Answer: A

Modernization theory emerged to guide the developing countries about their development.

It was built in American social science in the 1950s and 1960s, by writers such as W.W. Rostow, Daniel Lerner and Gabriel Almond, to explain how the newly independent states of Asia and Africa could move from traditional to modern society, usually along the path the West had taken.

Loans and economic support are forms of aid, not a theory. Political development was one branch of the theory, but its aim was development as a whole, so 'lessons of politics' is too narrow.
