Development pace and scope varies according to the stage society is in.
Economic development and human development need not mean the same thing.
Four related but distinct terms and phenomena form successive steps in a graded series: survival, growth, development, and evolution.
Development is a human process, in the sense that human beings, not material factors, drive development.

Families play a major role in the propagation of new activities once they win the support of the society.
Education is one of the most powerful means of propagating and sustaining new developments.

Individual scientific inventions build on past accomplishments in an incremental manner.
The concept of inherent limits to development arose mainly because past development was determined largely by availability of physical resources.

The physical stage is characterized by the domination of the physical element of the human personality.
The vital stage of society is infused with dynamism and change.
The mental stage has three essential characteristics: practical, social, and political application of mind.
The relative duration of these three stages and the speed of transition from one to another varies from one society to another.
