Modernization can be defined as a set of symptoms of social changes in relation to industrialization. one set of these symptoms is motion which infiltrate through all phases of life to make life more comfortable by improving standards of living, enhancing economic growth and development, reducing mortality rate by increasing life expectancy among others. Modernization also means discarding ones way of life and accepting civilization, urbanization, or occupational specialization. Modernization results in improved social life, transformed political institutions, and may even bring in increased political participation, which may result in the recognition of democratic institutions. This paper gives an in-depth analysis of modernization as it tries to relate it to the concept of democratization. Modernization started as early as the 19 th century but became apparent in the 20 th century. Some scholars believed that, by abolishing all the property owned by private enterprises and individuals, inequalities, and exploitation would be reduced. On the other hand, capitalist theorists argued that, economic development would result in improvement in standard of livings, which would finally result in democracy.
