The integrated approach to rural development in UAR

Abstract

The modern world we live in is, above everything, else, a world of rapid change. Most developing countries are passing through a dynamic process of change which affects in a variety of ways both rural and urban sectors alike. Social scientists interested in social change have typically emphasized one of two major points of view. The first of these conceives of change as the consequence of forces external to\the social system under –investigation. The second, view point stresses social change as the consequence of forces immanent in the particular social system/ It claims that any socio-cultural system changes by virtue of its own1properties, even if external conditions are constant, Change is thus imminent in any socio cultural system .and inalienable from it; the system bears in itself the seeds of its change
