"Critical Internalization"
If people are being asked to change, if change is suggested as the superior option to one's current standing, and regardless of the positive developmental virtue/value of this change, a mindset needs to shift, a certain critical reflection and self-actualization must be implemented to determine the value of this change in personal, individualized life circumstances. No circumstance is alike. This is the central, frustrating, indomitable tenant of all developmental economics. Thus, for all of the planning, for all of the technology, the ideas, the meeting, the finance, the "last yard" of developmental planning is always the hardest, and the most prone to oversight due to its complexity and individualized nature. Critical internalization is this last, fundamental step.
Critical internalization, though daunting, is not complex; it is amazingly simple, yet impossible to model, and impossible to clone. It is not costly; the sums demanded are only for the necessary human capital which foments viable human response. Critical internalization is not contingent upon fungible goods, depreciating and falling into disrepair, disuse, as currently litters so much of the developing world. Great intentions, poor connections. It is dependent upon only machinations of the human mind; virtue, value, judgement, reflection, and finally/ultimately, acceptance, rejection, modification.
How can we standardize developmental linkages to the individual, how can we measure the internalization of change, how can we observe individualized judgements?
