Human Development
Cerebellum, Hippocampus, Corpus Callosum and Reticular Formation are the aspects of brain development that leads to tremendous gains in language, thinking and motor control in early childhood. The cerebellum of brain is basically involved in balancing and controlling body movements. Thinking is processed in human being due to the connection between cortex and cerebellum. The motor and cognitive efficiencies such as memory, language, perception, understanding, etc. in a child are developed due to this cortex and cerebellum association. Hippocampus within the brain helps a child memorize, perceive images and understand the spatial context of world in early childhood. Reticular Formation causes consciousness and alertness in a child by generating synapses and myelinated starting from childhood to the adulthood.
hey may be able to withstand opposition to power; for example, by “[cutting] back outlays on subsidies, enabling it to concentrate more resources on the police, domestic security, and the state’s cultural and media propaganda machinery”[9] (page 165), as was undertaken in Egypt under Mubarak. While wealth and development are undoubtedly significant in causing a shift towards democratic governance, “authoritarian regimes around the world [have shown] that they can reap the benefits of economic development while evading any pressure to relax their political control. [An example is China’s economy, which] has grown explosively over the last 25 years, [even though] its politics have remained essentially stagnant.”[10] Evidence of this undermines the thesis that economic factors are the most significant.
A second possible explanation for some non-democratic regimes outliving others is the importance of cultural and religious factors.
As argued by Almond and Verba, there is a certain “‘civic culture’ [which] is necessary for the establishment of democracy, and […] this sort of culture is not easy transferable to non-Western cultures”[15]. The widespread acceptance of state authority and obedience towards civic duties defines the nature of Western culture: for example, the “obeying [of] the laws of the country, paying the taxes levied by the government [or] serving in a jury or as a witness in court”[16]. Almond and Verba argue the Western “mix of parochial passivity and modern participant activism”[17] is only compatible with certain cultures, and could be a factor fixing countries in non-democratic regimes. Some of the most likely explanations for this are likely to be historical religious influences, particularly the influence of Protestantism in the early 17th century in Western Europe. Steve Bruce argues that “Protestantism has contributed to modern democracy [by] pioneering a particularly effective combination of individualism and community spirit”[18], and the differing cultures of historically Islamic cultures are perhaps strengthening the likelih
