Development denotes change in organizations of a society. If a society tries to develop its economic structure from that of an agricultural economy to a combination of agriculture and industry, it will lead to change in the economic system of that particular society. Development and change are intertwined and once there is development there will be changes in various social aspects, most especially human relationship. Development and change are common phenomena which are to be anticipated. Take Thailand of five decades ago for example. Thailand was mainly an agricultural economy but thanks to the industrial development plan the country is now a newly industrialized nation.
Exports from Thailand include both agricultural produce and industrial products. This has led to change in the production pattern and the concomitant results of having more technically skilled labor, new management pattern, technical education, foreign direct investment, etc. There is also change in the other aspects such as a higher degree of urbanization in the capital city and the Eastern Seaboard. With urbanization, mushrooming of the mass media and a higher level of education attainment of the people are to be expected. This is buttressed by the new information technology gadgets leading to social media and social network with ramification of social and cultural changes.
