Development, for some modernization theorists, is

  • A.evolution
  • B.differentiation
  • C.discrimination
  • D.affirmation

Answer: B

For some modernisation theorists, development is differentiation. As a society becomes more modern, its structures become more specialised, so that roles and institutions are separated, such as the economy from the family and politics from religion.

Evolution is the process in general, not the specific term used by these theorists. Discrimination and affirmation do not describe development in this theory.

The theory is associated with writers such as Talcott Parsons and Daniel Lerner, who treated societies as becoming more differentiated as they moved from traditional to modern.
