Modernizationists believe that if society stays in the traditional way they there can be no needed changes, scientific innovations, and breakthroughs such as capital or technology. The results of such will be absolutely no development. I think that under this theory the solution towards development has 5 distinct stages which are comparable to that of an airplane taking off. These stages are the path that underdeveloped countries must take in order to reach…

Indeed, this East Asian Miracle has frequently been cited as a strong empirical…

graphical information system (GIS) to conduct a viewshed analysis of undesirable vantage points on this scenic byway. Alongside this data I created before and after imagery in Photoshop to identify locations that would benefit the greatest from the development of a wall of trees which would block an undesirable view.
