Development Theory
Define: Dualistic development theory recognizes the divergences that exist and which are growing between people of means and people living in poverty.

Apply: Recognizing the impact of this theory in working to develop communities is key; by recognizing the disparities which exist in a community, and the likelihood that these disparities will grow, organizers and residents can begin to address these disparities through action in community development.
Adapt: Dualistic development could also be applied to policy work, particularly in relation to policies that affect those living in poverty in America. From making decisions on the minimum wage - or a living wage - to Affirmative Action policies, all can be affected when considering the dualistic development theory.
