Different types of families (nuclear, single parents, generations, immigrants) Different political structures: democracies, federal republics, etc. Material richness (infrastructure, education, etc. ) vs. inadequate habitats (hunger, etc. ) One side has privileges and choices; other side has no control over life. Development is the study of this complexity, polarization, etc. The goal is to understand the changing and emerging realities that take place in the evolution of people, social groups, countries, economic systems and politics. Different questions: colonial impact on development, gain on one side vs. loss on the other. Important to understand terms to understand historic connotations, etc. Truman proposes various criteria to measure development: food security, disease, economy, poverty.
