The first question we have to ask ourselves is: what IS development? Is it a better standard of living? Material wealth? Access to education and healthcare? Or simply well-being?
Who says our way is right? Is what's perceived to be 'modern' necessarily better? Can we tell other cultures how to evolve?
Do we have the resources left to sustain further development? And if not,how do we justify this to those that are denied access simply because their predecessors consumed more than their fair share? Are we in any position to direct development, or even define it?
