Progress/development

So, dictionary.com defines "development" as:

"the act or process of developing; growth; progress."

That would mean that "international development" means something like "international growth and progress". Right?

Interesting:

This video opens up a can of worms! There are so many things I would like to say.

One, I like Pan Left videos
Two, there is "development" in a sense (if you focus on physical modifications to the environment)...but its not positive
Three, Im amazed that Cancun creates 25% of tourism revenue for Mexico
Four, there is a similar situation out here in Siem Reap concerning residents' dependency on tourism dollars. It sucks.
Five, what's with the sprinkler water montage at the 3 minute mark?
and there is probably more...
