Asked by Savannah

I am so confused!! Can anyone help me by explaining what it means by international development?

Provide 2 reasons in support and 2 against the position that anthropologists should be involved in applying their knowledge and skills to the goals of international development. And I need to find 2 examples for support and against also.

Thanks

Excuse me? Are you this rude to all who ask questions?

My text does not have very much on this.
I did google it already, but I really don't understand what it means, especially to anthropologists: International development or global development is a wide concept concerning level of development on an international scale.

What did I say that you think is rude?

What does your text say about it?

Whoever you are, you've used several different names, one for each question you've posted. Are you suffering from a multiple personality disorder? Ms. Sue is not rude.

What do anthropologists study? Is it not how societies develop? How does that apply to development today, global/international or insular?

International development is similar to modernization in terms of its goals. The process emphasizes economic growth as the most crucial element. According to growth oriented development theory, invests in economic growth will lead to improved human welfare by the trickle down effect.
