Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is false. Rostow's modernization theory proposed that all countries could develop and become like the Western countries if they followed a certain path of economic growth and modernization. However, his theory has been criticized for ignoring the unique historical and cultural factors of each country and for assuming that Western-style capitalism and democracy are the only desirable goals of development.
