Besides, technology is not by itself the basis of progress and development though today the communities which consume more and exhaust nature and considered more advanced and more humanistic. In the public mind, too, development is a synonym for the culture, social and economic, of the developed countries, the owners of technology.
But development by itself is a historical change that is, the communities move and transit from one historical stage to another. In fact preparing the community for development is a historical necessity, depending on time and place.
The pattern of development policy-making in each country is peculiar to that country, but the laws of development and general and comprehensive. Therefore the transfer of technology can be effective in the progress and development of orient communities only when they are in harmony with the social and cultural conditions of such communities.
So, claiming that with mere transfer of technology the Third World will easily develop is an optimistic idea. Since the transfer of technology is a question of establishing a rational balance between world culture and national or endogenous culture. Cultural development is the progress of self-sufficiency which, at a macro level, is fulfilled by the community itself and, at a micro level, by the individuals and groups. On this same basis it is directly the result of endogenous culture creativities against prevalent methods of transfer of science and technology.
