I sаy thаt yоu pаrents will understand when yоu want tо become a famous: 

The yeаr is 1955, аnd the president оf the United Stаtes has called yоu intо his office for some expert policy advice because you are a famous political scientist and one of the first to focus your research efforts on the developing world. For these reasons the president of the United States believes you are best suited to tell him how to solve the problems of Latin America. He’s suffering from some first world guilt after taking a vacation to Buenos Aires. He decided to head off the beaten path on his own one day, leaving the luxury of downtown Buenos Aires. He wandered around Argentina for a week disguised alternately as a factory worker and a rural peasant. He quickly learned about the persistent poverty and political instability that plagues not just Argentina, but Latin America in general. How would you, the famous political scientist in 1955, advise the American president?  In your answer, explain modernization theory/political development theory in detail. What two questions about the developing world was modernization theory seeking to answer? How did scholars go about developing modernization theory, i.e. where did they look for solutions for Latin America? What were the critiques of it, and the revisionist and dependency responses? Explain in as much relevant detail as possible. Draw on the class lectures, The House of Spirits, and your readings to answer these questions.
