Traditional society: people i(cid:374) t(cid:396)aditio(cid:374)al so(cid:272)iet(cid:455)(cid:859)s, people are resistant to change, at some point ts can change, he sees them at the first stage of development. Preconditions for takeoff: clusters of new ideas, that favour economic progress, ex. greater access to education, the development of markets (have a surplus, sell it in the market instead of trading it) This is where people shake tradition and start to use their talents. People start to think more individually (how can i make more 20605), less about the community. The drive to technological maturity: the idea of growth has been accepted at this stage as they have started to see the benefits of modernization. Its assumed that we know what traditional and modern mean. Environmentally this model may not be sustainable.
