Social development

Japanese: 社会発展 - しゃかいはってん(英語表記)social development
Social development
It refers to the process and form of change when a social structure changes into something else, or when a simpler structure changes into a more complex one. Commentators differ on whether this change is gradual and quantitative or revolutionary and qualitative, whether the change is toward a desirable state, and whether the cause of the change is internal or external to society. Social evolutionism takes the position that this process of change is linear and cumulative in a certain direction.

Japanese:
社会構造が別のものに変化したり,より単純な構造のものからより複雑な構造のものへ変化したりするときのプロセスやその形態をいう。この変化が漸進的で量的なものなのか,それとも革命的で質的なものなのか,また,この変化が望ましい状態に向けての変化であるのかどうか,あるいはまた変化の原因が社会の内部にあるのかそれとも外部にあるのか,などについて論者の意見は異なる。 この変化の過程を一定の方向に向かっての直線的で累積的なものとしてとらえるのが社会進化論の立場である。
