An Argument about Development vs. Modern (random thoughts)

      Development, is a broad term referring to a long term process of change in any aspects of the society. Often than not, it is equate to growth which is measurable and is the indication that there is an improvement. Defining it's technicality will only lead to the views on economic aspects but as other experts argue, this should not only focus on a particular area because it transcends on all aspects such as political and socio-cultural.
      I have this thoughts on development that it varies in a different context depending on how a person view this contradicting to my professor's statement.
     As a future educator and a student of History, the idea of modern does not rely on science alone but on what is new relative to the period of time, for example, the the development of tools during the neolithic era, that time, smooth rocks considered to be modern since MODERN is anything that is present and that kind of tools is equivalent to the new gadget of the time.
     Anyway, development should be sustainable, this is what I believe,.... since the term is a process not just a result, it should be sustain for a long time. In history, development is evident from the so called pre-modern, where people tried to believe in the spirits to the modern period or the age of science, but science does not answer the definition of modern, what i mean, science already exist before the period of modern era but people tend to consult spirits for guidance of what they were doing,... science is the answer to for those who doubt the existence of the powerful being and if modern is the scientific age, when will the time come when we are fully modern, which we're not consulting or believing on the guidance of the powerful spirits?
     inshort, magulo ang konsepto ng modernismo,..... at ang pag-unlad ay patuloy kahit hindi ito sukatin ng siyensya.
