It is a field of study, a gathering point for a wide number of disciplines, because it is seen from different sciences and this has made the “communication theory” a very complex universe. Other words as “development” and “culture” have similar characteristics. Each science uses them as terms and epistemological tools in different ways. In the case of Colombia, communication, development and culture have been extremely important words in the social science studies, and our exercise in this work is a look at some interactions these terms have had in the recent history of the country.esCorporación Universitaria LasallistaComunicaciónDesarrolloCulturaColombiaTeoría de la comunicaciónArticle
