The following are how dependency theory is relevant to the present society;

INTRODUCTION

Dependency is the conditioning situation in which the economies of one group of countries are conditioned by development expansion of others. Dependency is a result of capitalism and internalization of the conflicts in the developing countries.

Theory is a statement or group of statements established by reasoned or logical argument based on known facts intended to explain a particular event.

Dependency Theory is the notion that resources flow from a ‘periphery’ of poor and underdeveloped states to a core of wealthy state, enriching the latter at the expense of the former. It is a central contention of dependency theory that poor states are impoverished and rich ones enriched by the way poor states are integrated into the world system. The theory arose as a  reaction to modernization theory, an earlier theory of development which held that all societies progress through  similar stages of development, that today’s underdeveloped areas are thus in a similar situation to that of today’s developed areas at some time in the past.

The following are how dependency theory is relevant to the present society;

Economic system with dependency on foreign trade and foreign investment, Less developing countries depend much on foreign trade which cause the price of raw materials which are coming from less developing nations to be low compared to the goods which we get  from developed nations also in investment especially in Tanzania there is many foreigners who era investing in ourselves to make investment in different sectors of our country thus why every day we much depend on foreign trade and investment because of low science and technology.

Backwardness of many countries especially LDCs in science and technology, Less developed countries example Tanzania depends much on technology from developed nation because    Tanzanian we don’t have our own technology example in construction of infrastructure such as road, railways and bridges we need help from other countries (developed nation) example in road and railways we use Chinese (people from China who import their technology hence dependency increase).

Many less developing countries faced the problem of unemployment (LDCs), Also many people in less developing countries like Tanzania faced with the problem of employment because the quality of labour force are poor. The low levels of literacy, malnutrition, absence of proper medical care these are barriers to economic development. So due to this Tanzania takes effective measures foristance investment in human capital to break the poverty barrier hence dependent is being as an endless because we invest also in human capital.

The cheap resources with the back rates that used to feed the back rates that used to feed the capitalist industries come from the less developing countries (LDCs); First world countries have many industries which need raw materials to feed their industries so due to  this the third world countries up to now days used to give raw materials such as crops especially cash crops, mineral etc. so due to this  dependency is there among third world nations and first world nations and first world nations.

Many less developed nations (LDCs) are poor, causes of poverty is changing trend in a countries economy. Associated with the lack of education, high divorce rate, a culture of poverty, illiteracy, overpopulation, epidemic diseases such as AIDS and malaria due to these many less developed nations who are faced such kind of problems need help from developed nation example in Tanzania we depend much on USA, USA provide as medical for AIDS and many others protection for malaria examples mosquito nets so we much depend on developed nations.

An increasing of imported technology and finance, now days there in our country there is much importation of goods and technology than exports. The whole process of importation makes or increase high dependent to the other countries political and economic power, especially our Tanzania we much depends on good  and financial from outside we don’t have our own technology which can support us to live without being depends on other developed nation, due to this our country increase debt crisis every day

 Third world countries are poor while (developed) countries a rich because Third World have less education, less wealth, poorer health, less military power, and they dominated politically and economically by the first world. Third World Economies were  mono productive and agriculturally based, while economies in developed countries were diversified and industrialized by almost any conventional socio economic measure, Third World Countries are at the bottom of the scale.
