Abstract
The paper analyzes various theories of growth and modernization and finds that they share a prognosis that lack of capital is a critical element. The paper gives several reasons for this lack. The paper reviews the history of different growth and modernization models, focusing on Asian economies. It compares the structuralist and substantivist schools' approaches to development and examines the dependency theory in the context of the Philippine economy. The paper concludes with the contemporary evaluation of economic development, the Human Development Index, first released by the United Nations Development Program in 1990, noting that the HDI much better measures the problems of poverty and ignorance.

Bibliography
From the Paper
"The Latin American experience with import substitution together with the fact that a large segment of the population did not get sizable benefits from the growth in the modern industrial sector and the limitation imposed by the domestic market led structuralists to adjust their approach beginning in the 1980's. Among the adjustments were: emphasis on developing the entrepreneurial class to lead in the export thrust without abandoning their basic proposition that development must come from within; redefine the role of the state by deemphasizing control-centered interventions in favor of a more facilitating kind."

"KRUGMAN, ECONOMIC GROWTH, AND THE ASIAN MIRACLE
The spectacular economic growth attained by the East Asia ?Seven??Hong Kong, Indonesia, South Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand?in the East Asia region over the past three decades often has been described as an economic miracle (Krugman, 1994, p. 64). That this economic growth has been impressive is not open to question (refer to Table 1, below on this page, and Table 2, which may be found on the following page)."

Abstract
The paper explores the impact that rapid population growth is having upon the cultural, political and economic geography of South Asia. The paper looks at India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bhutan and evaluates which regions are dealing most effectively with the perceived demographic crisis. The paper discusses the political and social consequences of their failures.
From the Paper
"To start with, our course readings inform us that south Asia is afflicted with grinding poverty and with all the health, nutritional, and poor educational attainment problems associated with poverty. At the same time, the region is crowded, with 22 percent of the planet's population crammed into 3 percent of the planet's land area (de Blij & Muller 2001). As one can well imagine, social maladies like unrest, resentment and criminal activity can quickly ensue and grow to tragic dimensions if something is not done to first stop the population growth and, secondly, the ugly social problems besetting the geographic region."

Abstract
This paper discusses the current state of Asian economic development; the principles upon which Asian economic recovery depends, and then compares and contrasts several countries, notably China and Japan, in view of their attitudes, development and potential for economic dominance in the region.
From the Paper
"In 1997, Thailand floated the baht, marking the beginning of a currency crisis that would eventually spread to other parts of Asia and to emerging markets such as Brazil and Russia. In Asia, the outflow of investment was massive. The five hardest hit economies -- South Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines -- saw net capital flows reverse by more than $100 billion in a year. All over Asia, companies went bankrupt, banks loans soured and the number of property repossessions skyrocketed and millions of people lost their jobs. The situation, named the "Asian flu" quickly became the focal point of numerous conferences, editorials and a small library of books as economists and academics debated the causes and the cures."

Significance of Flying Geese Hypothesis in East Asia Economic Development.
High Inflows of FDI and Export Expansion
International Economic Development.
Inter-Industry and Intra-Industry Trade Pattern.
Regional Integration
Declining Significance of Flying Geese Model in Recent Time
Conclusion
From the Paper
"When reaching export stage, the growth of domestic demand will decline. Exports of the product have begun to increase and imports decline. The strong exports enable the country to import capital goods for continued expansion of production. Inward FDI becomes significant as the same industry in the advanced countries has lost its comparative advantage and has to relocate to developing countries. As the industry gets into its mature stage, production slows down due to increasing costs and intensified competition from late-starting countries."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper analyzes the infatuation of the Western world with the high growth of the Asian economy, claiming that this is evident in the numerous works written on the topic and the popularity of these works with the public. The paper explains that some saw the region and its economy as a positive supplement to the world economy, while others viewed it as a threat. The paper contends that the general consensus was that the economic growth and prosperity of the region was unlikely to diminish soon. This perpetuated the global perception of Asian prosperity, with very little consideration given to a possible collapse or crisis.
From the Paper
"The failure of the World Bank to predict the NIC crisis of the late 1990's is mostly blamed upon a misperception advocated by economists and political scientists of the West. This misperception entails that the high growth rates experienced by Asian countries since the 1960's led to the assumption that the economy in these countries would not only remain stable, but would continue experience extreme growth far into the future. This is an assumption that was remarkable similar in all sectors of the academic world, although some held that the economic growth was related to free markets, while others held that the interventionist state should receive the honors for the phenomenon (Ruby, 2003-2004)."

Concept of Moral Development
American Culture
Asian Culture
Culture of Minorities in the U.S.

Directions for Future Research
From the Paper
"Ironically, it is the celebration of the American freedom of and individuality that has allowed popular culture to take over the moral upbringing that was once the responsibility of families and local churches. Another characteristic of American culture that has sabotaged the moral development of the children is the promotion of change, progress and innovation in American society. Within this context, popular culture has established a powerful position with its plethora of offerings that titillate the imagination and seemingly extends the limits of what is permissible. Popular culture offers the very concepts that challenge the idea of cultural traditions that were once used to shape the moral development of American children (Myers, 2000). "

"A Cross-Cultural Examination of the Moral Development of Children in the United States (Some Minorities) and Asian Countries
The cultures of different ethnic groups in various countries play a large part in influencing the moral development of the children of the respective societies. Culture in itself possesses a moral dimension because it provides every ethnic group with a "set of values, [a] network of beliefs that are institutionalized in a people's collective life and that govern their behavior. Culture, then, is the outward discipline in which inherited meanings and morality, beliefs and ways of behaving are preserved" (Mack, 1997, p. 167). Therefore, cultural institutions and traditions serve the purpose of defi

Abstract
This paper discusses Indonesia's economic development over the past ten years. It also describes the devastating effects of the Asian financial crisis, krismon, which halted attempts to develop the nation's economy and raise standards of living. The paper then looks at the factors that are needed for the future stability and development of the Indonesian economy to be maintained.
From the Paper
"Despite years of contraction and then stagnation, the Indonesian economy is now running smoothly, and is experiencing solid growth. Economic development is progressing and will continue as the government invests more in education and health care, and as ingenious schemes such as community-driven development come into fruition. International optimism is growing after strong signs of growth: In November 2006 the Jakarta stock exchange was up 45% on the previous year, and the Jakarta skyline dominated by new apartment complexes and building developments. Whether such gains will reach the poorest Indonesians remains up to the government, which still has many challenges to come."

Abstract
This paper looks at industry, transportation, tourism, and gender and development in the Southeast Asian region and shows that these areas are all related to one another and contribute, both individually and collaboratively, to the development of Southeast Asia.
From the Paper
"Overall, annual average growth in gross domestic product between 1980 and 1993 reveals how active, which a few exceptions, the economies of Southeast Asian countries have been. The strongest growth has been recorded in Thailand, followed by Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Export-oriented industrialization has been at the forefront of Southeast Asia?s economic development. Rapid expansion of manufacturing and exports have sustained economic growth rates that are among the highest in the world. However, there is still a great potential for expansion. Burma, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam have only recently opened up to trade and remain overwhelmingly agrarian. Even in more industrially developed nations, such as Malaysia and Thailand, there is tremendous potential for further development by moving toward more sophisticated and higher value-added manufactured exports."

"Succeeding in the Asian Market: Opportunities and Challenges
Facing U.S. Firms in the Wake of the Asian Crisis
Executive Summary
The Asian economic and financial crisis of 1997-1998 presents American international business firms with a unique set of opportunities and challenges. That crisis has lowered asset values and costs in many East Asian nations thereby presenting many attractive investment and operating opportunities while at the same time accelerating structural reforms which provide the basis for more dynamic internal growth, more open competition and transparency from which well positioned American firms can benefit. However, the Asian crisis has also intensified competition within Asian markets and is likely to generate more focused and stronger competitive rivals as well as the..."

Abstract
This paper discusses Jet Li?s life, starting from his childhood where his interest in wu-shu began, until he emerged as a movie actor incorporating martial arts in his films, becoming both an acclaimed Hong Kong Asian and American actor. In addition to Li?s biography, this paper also discusses the psychological development of Li?s life from childhood to present life and how his life can be contextualized, based on Erik Erikson?s socio-emotional theory of human development.
From the Paper
"For many years, Asian actors have not been given enough opportunities to break into the entertainment industry in the United States, popularly called the Hollywood. Only few Asian actors have made it big in Hollywood, of which the famed martial arts master Bruce Lee is considered as the first Asian who brought fame in the Asian entertainment industry through his martial arts movies. Jackie Chan, similarly, shares Bruce Lee?s glory but in a different genre, where Chan uses martial arts not as a form of physical violence, but a form of art movement. Also, Chan?s movies are mostly humorous, illustrating Chan?s penchant for a feel-good movie for his audience."
