Social Development

It discovers better ways to fulfill its aspirations and it develops organizational mechanism to express that knowledge to achieve its social and economic goals.

Three different levels of our existence

1. Physical Level-enhances our control over material processes.

2. Social Level-it enhances our capacity for effective interaction between people at greater speeds and distances.

3. Mental level-It enhances our knowledge.

Conceptual Mind is the highest, most conscious human faculty.

Conceptual Knowledge is the organization of ideas by the power of mind.

Social Development Theory provides conceptual framework for discovering the underlying principles common to the developmental process in different fields of activity, countries and periods.

Social Development Theory has been elusive for several reasons.

It also provide framework for understanding the relationship between the accumulated knowledge generated by many different disciplines.

1. Attention in this field has very largely focused on those strategies that have proven most effective for achieving those results, rather than on abstract principles or theoretical concepts.

2. A very large number of factors and conditions influence the process.

3. Timeframe cannot be confined to the modern day or even the fast few centuries.

4. The instruments of development-science and technology, capital and infrastructure, social policies and institutions-are so compellingly powerful in their action, that they are often mistaken for its cause and source.
