Abstract

This paper addresses the prior discussion prompt of Professor Sue L.T. McGregor titled Home Economics Contributions to National Development. The main points of McGregor are summarized, and an interpretation hereof is presented which deduces the content as being a self-glorification of home economics as a profession, which is blind to the many challenges facing the field. The main argument is that home economics should not fall into such a blind narrative about the wonders of the profession, but rather face the challenges, and in a nuanced perspective discuss how to strengthen the impact on national development.
