Following our discussion last class about whether some social innovations push our own ideas on people in developing countries, I reaffirmed my own opinion on the matter. I'm obviously a person who thinks social innovations are important in helping the developing world, otherwise I wouldn't be taking this class. However, I can see the point that a lot of innovations are things that we, in our daily lives that are vastly different from the lives of people in developing countries, consider useful and necessary. While that may be true, there is no disservice done to the people of developing countries in giving them access to things that are easily accessible in other parts of the world, and innovations aren't forced on the developing world, they are simply introduced. So perhaps the real question is whether or not these social innovations actually cause social impact, and whether more time should be spent on innovations that actually help in solving life or death problems.
