- W2554104502 abstract "As Third World nations strive for economic development, politicians and scholars continue to question what role peasants, generally the bulk of the population, can play in the process. Due to their presumed resistance to change, peasants frequently have been regarded as a stumbling block on the road to progress. Attempts to understand why this is so have led to a consideration of peasants' world view and value orientations. In George Foster's 1965 paper, Peasant Society and the of Limited Good, we are presented with a model that seeks to explain the lack of economic initiative in classical peasant societies. Since the universal applicability of the Image of Limited has been controversial, this paper addresses Foster's hypotheses about the relationship between expansion of economic opportunities, changing cognitive orientation or world view, and achievement oriented behavior. To this end, dominant themes in the world view of a group of migrants from the Mexican mestizo village of Jacala (a pseudonymn) are compared with the world view of Mexican peasants. According to Foster's model, peasants view their total environment as one in which all the desired things in life exist in limited supply and in which there is no way directly within peasant power to increase available quantities (Foster, 1965:296). Thus, improvement in an individual's or family's position can be achieved only at the expense of others, making one person's success a threat to everyone around him. This view is reflected behaviorally in peasants' avoidance of competition for prestige through material goods such as clothing and household furnishings. Foster hypothesizes that the cognitive orientation reflected in the of Limited Good derives from a realistic appraisal of the economic situation in peasant villages a few decades ago, where unproductive land and inefficient farming techniques made it unlikely that extra work would produce more wealth. Under these circumstances, luck, rather than hard work and thrift, was the key to success and the need for achievement (McClelland, 1961) was rare, although Foster regards this absence of achievement motivated behavior to be the result of negative sanctions against its display, rather than as an outcome of socialization:" @default.
