Contextualizing Modernization within the Jordanian Context
Dr. Basem Al Atom

Abstract
This research study posits that, in the Jordanian context, Modernization's anomalous illustration of progress is issue-ridden due to the fact that 1) Modernization views progress strictly within the confines of financial profit and 2) the model of Modernization is unadoptable to Jordan within the Jordanian context. Initially, this research study clarifies Modernization's primary principles. Then, this research study illustrates the issue with dealing with the financial sector of a given country as the yardstick of measuring progress. Precisely, this research study defines the important sociological issues that the citizens of Jordan are facing on a regular basis as they pursue national self-actualization. Afterwards, this research study discusses the model of Modernization in reference to the Kingdom's absence of a strong financial basis upon which Modernization could thrive.
