The basis of this theory is to get people to change their traditions and beliefs in in doing so they will theoretically experience development. This is called a microsociological approach (Valenzuela and Valenzuela, 1978: 550). Dependency theory is more of a structurally based theory. The focus in this theory is factors…

throughout the text culminating in his most cruel matter of fact statement after the baby was torn limb from limb: "In this manner, the issue was settled" (Carver, 1978). He set the morose tone right at the beginning: "Early that day the weather turned...on the street outside it was getting dark. But it was getting dark inside too" (Carver, 1978). And mid-way, in the opening salvo of the imminent battle, the cryptic baby negotiations: I want the baby. You crazy? No,…

in understanding psychological issues, as is the case of Piaget’s mental operations and/or formal operation, (Inheler & Piaget, 1958; Piaget, 1947), and of Vygotsky’s (1978) symbolic operation, like to tie a knot on one’s finger for an individual to remember to perform a task in the near future (i.e., mediated memory). Vygotsky (1978) states: ”…we are advocating the developmental approach as an essential addition to experimental psychology” (p. 61, emphasis added). 2.Dialectical approach. This…

Source 9 is further limited by its lack of acknowledgement of change throughout the period. The speech was given in 1978 and regardless of how useful it is concerning the understanding of gay rights in 1978, it tells the historian absolutely nothing about how those rights had changed…
