The modernization paradigm is a theoretical framework that suggests societies progress through a series of stages, transitioning from traditional to modern forms of social, economic, and political organization. It emphasizes the role of industrialization, urbanization, and technological advancement in driving social change and development. This paradigm often assumes that Western models of development are superior and should be emulated by developing countries, leading to criticism for its ethnocentrism and oversimplification of complex social dynamics. Critics argue that it overlooks local contexts and alternative pathways to development.
