Abstract
The stage of development of a society shows the society's historical period and overall social, cultural, economic and political conditions at various levels of macro (system), meso (institutions and organizations) and micro (actors) scales. Despite strengths and capabilities of development, it brings about problems and difficulties that may cause disorder and instability. Such disorder and insatiability are observed more in countries that their development process is affected by foreign models and theoretical paradigms. More notably, these disorders appear in social sphere, due to negligence of social development. This article discusses insatiability and difficulties that occur in social sphere in the light of the new development discourses, such as post colonialism, post development and alternative developments, as well as practical experiences and implications of policies and development programs. The essential assumption of this article is that the social consideration and consequently social development issues are usually overlooked, so that social development issues- from a theoretical point of view- are simply reduced to social welfare. Also in policymaking it is limited to providing welfare and utilities for satisfying basic needs.
