Answer:
Dependency theory has bias just as it is formulated within the context of underdevelopment, therefore it does have bias.
Explanation:
The dependency theory strongly criticizes foreign investments that move freely according to the international flow of capital. The model of dependency originates in the setting of Latin America and has failed to propose a way to counterbalance the dominant or prevailing system and make it functional.
For example, India's economy in the latest 15 years, seems to contradict some key beliefs of dependency theory as their claims concerning comparative advantage and mobility, as much as the economic growth that has originated from models like outsourcing. Outsourcing is a mobile form of transferring capital. Dependency theory would strongly oppose it.
The case of South Korea versus the North companion provides also an example of the economic performance of a trade-based economy against an autocratic self-sustained economy.
Therefore the protectionism initially preached by dependency theory did not turn the solution it promised. Rather, Latin American countries summed up huge debts and suffered periodic recession. The lack of conditions favorable to produce complex industrialized goods, as automobiles, computers, etc further ignites this failure. Not all goods will ever be able to be produced locally like the cars, computers, and technology so a turnig back is often leading to disaster or isolation from the world.
Answer:
a. It outlined the principles of civil disobedience.
Explanation:
Written by Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., the "Letter from a Birmingham Jail" represents the most emblematic document of the struggle for civil rights of the African American minority of the United States. In it, King fraternally answers the open letter (A Call for Unity) of eight clergymen asking the population to withdraw their support for foreign-led protests — referring to the organization “Conference for Christian Leadership in the South,” chaired by the Reverend. In their “Call to Unity,” published in a local newspaper, clerics (all white) complain that mobilizations do not help solve “racial problems” and argue that it is possible to propose a constructive approach that addresses rights in the courts, not in the streets. It is, somehow, a cold and distant call to the patience of "his" black community. Those who subscribe to the message qualify the protests led by the foreign reverend as foolish and inopportune.
Rather than being a thorough response to the criticism launched by local clergy to the protests, the "Letter from a Birmingham jail" is an effective plea - written under conditions of enormous symbolic burden - in which the Reverend <u>King seeks to expose the nature of its direct nonviolent action program and its justification</u>. In his communication, the reverend points out that the mobilizations seek to create a crisis that brings to the surface injustices that cannot be neglected any longer. Protests do not create tension, as their censors think, they expose it starkly.
According to King, civil disobedience is legitimate not only because it is a moral duty to oppose laws that are considered unfair, but because the legal consequences of transgressing order are openly accepted. By using his person, his freedom, to call attention to the existence of injustice, the civil disobedient appeals to the solidarity consciousness of the community. The social protest does not violate the order to blackmail the system but peacefully seeks to shake those who with their apathy and silence become accomplices.
