thread_title:  could unincorperated places building side walks be considered modernization? 

message: The article in present form seems quite partial and incomplete. It implies from its description of origin that the only way to use the term is in an evolutionary scheme, whereas it is a vital term in other kinds of moderndescriptions of modernity and modernism. The text as it stands seems to imply that to use the term is to approve of the processes it describes. Dialectical (for example) accounts of modernity describe modernization as contradictory processes, describing its beneficial and destructive aspects. The article seems to imply that to use the term is to only see the benefits, while to oppose its use is to only see its destructions. There are other POV issues here too, such as "technically modernity refers to the present"; while I agree we are still 'in' modernity, many others think we are not.

thread_title:  Partial account 

message: There is a problem in the relationship between the wikis on Modernization and Modernization Theory. The introduction to the Modernization article specifies that the article is about a theory. If the article were about modernization theory, then it should be combined with the wiki on Modernization Theory. I suspect that the first section was added after the bulk of the article evolved. It appears that the bulk of the article is about the modernization process (practice) rather than being about a theory of that process such as modernization theory (there are others). It is about the history of modernization. The Criticism section is criticism of Modernization Theory and could appropriately be moved to that wiki. The Current Content of the Theory section should be incorporated into the Modernization Theory wiki. Something has happened to the world in the Modern Age period of hisotry, the time after 1500. This wiki should try to generalize about what has happened, as well as various frameworks for describing the process of getting to where we are now in history. A new theory section could say something general about the process of modernization and include subsections on various theories of development or modernization: • Neoclassical Theory • Modernization theory and Globalization Theory • Dependency Theory • Late Industrialization Theory • World-System Theory • Environmental alternatives to growth The new section should be in the spirit of asserting that each of these kinds of models contributes something to the understanding of how the world got to the current situation.

On the other hand, I would interested in knowing more about the relationships of concepts such as Adi-Buddha and Dhyanibuddha, and the descriptions of Samantabhadra and of Vairocana as Primordial Buddha. - Nat Krause 05:43, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
