7 erroneous arguments concerning Latin America

Abstract

The paper presents the article deals only with those arguments of a sociological nature, since some of the erroneous arguments of a problems have been fully discussed by economists themselves. The first argument is the Latin American countries are Dualist societies. The main burden of this argument is that Latin American countries in fact embody two different societies which are to some extent independent of each other although of necessity interlinked. The second argument is progress in Latin America will be achieved through the spread of industrial products into the backward, archaic and traditional areas. This idea of something being spread is to be found in various forms for some opponents’ it means the gradual spread of an urban or Western-culture throughout the world, to encompass backward and primitive peoples.
