Which of the following biases impacted Post World War II development projects?
Pro-literacy, Pro-innovation, Pro-mass media
The dominant paradigm of development that shaped post World War II projects, articulated by theorists like Daniel Lerner, Wilbur Schramm and Everett Rogers, treated modernization as a top-down transfer of knowledge, skills and technology from the developed West to the Third World.
This paradigm carried strong pro-literacy, pro-innovation and pro-mass media biases, assuming that raising literacy, diffusing new innovations and expanding mass media reach would automatically trigger economic and social growth.
Later critiques, especially the participatory school associated with Paulo Freire, exposed these biases and called for pro-participation, pro-freedom approaches instead.
Hence, post World War II development projects were impacted by pro-literacy, pro-innovation and pro-mass media biases.
