There is much criticism that modernization theory is Eurocentric. Do you think dependency theory is also biased? Why, or why not

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.

Reflection of erosion​
Dafna11 [192]

not sure if this helps but I hope it does

sorry its so long

To date erosion scientists have failed to address — or have addressed inadequately — some of the ‘big questions’ of our discipline. For example, where is erosion occurring? Why is it happening, and who is to blame? How serious is it? Who does it affect? What should be the response? Can we prevent it? What are the costs of erosion? Our inability or reluctance to answer such questions damages our credibility and is based on weaknesses in commonly-used approaches and the spatial and temporal scales at which much research is carried out. We have difficulty in the recognition, description and quantification of erosion, and limited information on the magnitude and frequency of events that cause erosion. In particular there has been a neglect of extreme events which are known to contribute substantially to total erosion. The inadequacy and frequent misuse of existing data leaves us open to the charge of exaggeration of the erosion problem (a la Lomborg).

Models need to be developed for many purposes and at many scales. Existing models have proved to be of limited value, in the real as opposed to the academic world, both because of problems with the reliability of their results, and difficulties (with associated costs) of acquiring suitable data. However, there are some positive signs: models are now being developed for purposes including addressing questions of off-site impacts and land-use policy. Cheap, reliable and technically simple methods of erosion assessment at the field scale are needed. At the global scale, an up-date of GLASOD based on a scientific approach is urgent so that we are at least able to identify erosion ‘hotspots’.

In terms of explanation of erosion, the greatest need is for a full recognition of the importance of socio-economic drivers. The accession of new countries to the EU with different economic and land-use histories emphasises this need. Too often we have left people, especially the farmers, out of the picture. Our approach could be characterised as ‘data-rich and people-poor’.

List and describe the 5 steps one should take in order to properly determine what will be studied before a test
slega [8]
1)Having a Successful Studying Routine:Try to study over the course of a week, not just one night. Revisiting the information moves it from short-term memory (the kind that disappears almost immediately) to long-term memory, where you can retrieve it for later.[1] Ideally, take a look at the content a little bit every day.
2)Start as soon as possible:Organize a notebook and folder for the class. Keep all your papers together when you need to pull them out three months later. Keep your syllabus accessible to use it as a rough outline for the class. Don't forget to keep up the studying on a daily basis, don't leave it for the last minute!
3)Ask your teacher what things she/he want you to study:Remember, any little detail on a test can become a question!
4)Get some sleep:Before you go to bed , hit the hardest concepts. Then when you do hit the hay, your brain has hours and hours to let it sink in. The fluff can be tackled mid-afternoon -- let the difficult stuff stew overnight for maximum retention
5)Make time for breakfast:In fact:research says that your diet the week before the test matters, too! Students that were placed on a high-fat, high-carb diet did worse than those loading up on fruits, veggies, and complex, whole grains. Do yourself, your body, and your mind a favor by eating right. By eating right, you can get the right nutrients that your body needs, and you will be able to retain information better
