خلاصة:
The present study investigates the culture of development in Hawrami proverbs. Analysis of development-related variables is the basis of sociology. As collective phenomena, proverbs are part of the oral culture of a society and their investigation can sociologically explain cultural and social foundations of the society. This research attempts to specify 6 development-related parameters in Hawrami adages combining the ideas of Max Weber and the current viewpoints in modernization theory. Documented data is analyzed through content analysis technique. Statistical population of the study includes 4500 Hawrami proverbs 299 cases of which are analyzed as they involve development-related variables. Unlike the prevalent outlook in modernization theory that anti-development components have a significant role in local communities like Hawraman, research results illustrate that pro-development variables in these proverbs are more than anti-development ones and that Hawraman’s underdevelopment stems from the inconsistency between development programs and social and cultural context of this society.

This research attempts to specify 6 development-related parameters in Hawrami adages combining the ideas of Max Weber and the current viewpoints in modernization theory.
Unlike the prevalent outlook in modernization theory that anti-development components have a significant role in local communities like Hawraman, research results illustrate that pro-development variables in these proverbs are more than anti- development ones and that Hawraman’s underdevelopment stems from the inconsistency between development programs and social and cultural context of this society.
With regard to the above theoretical framework, the present research attempts to study and specify the content of positive and negative variables related to development in the proverbs of Hawrami culture and literature.
Main Research Hypothesis Considering the common standpoint in the ideas of Max Weber and modernization theory about developing societies, the basic hypothesis of this study is the following: "The number of negative cultural components associated with development in Hawrami proverbs is more than positive cultural variables and themes.
Accordingly, the hypothesis can be presented as "in Hawrami proverbs, the number of negative factors about encouraging people to have a long-term goal and plan in life is more than the number of related positive variables.
Therefore, the hypothesis can be presented as "in Hawrami proverbs, the number of negative factors about encouraging calculability in people while doing social acts is more than the number of the related positive variables.
