    CHANGES IN

    THE SOCIETY
    Josielyne P. Gervacio
    MAED-English
    A society is a group of individuals involved in
    persistent social interaction, or a large social
    group sharing the same geographical or social
    territory, typically subject to the
    same political authority and dominant cultural
    expectations. Societies are characterized by
    patterns of relationships between individuals
    who share a
    distinctive culture and institutions.
    There are five basic components of the
    human societies: population, culture,
    material products, social organization,
    and social institutions.

    These components may either deter or


    promote social change.
    Social change are changes in human
    interactions and relationships that
    transform cultural and social
    institutions. These changes occur
    over time and often have profound
    and long-term consequences for
    society.
    There are five basic components of the
    human societies: population, culture,
    material products, social organization,
    and social institutions.

    These components may either deter or


    promote social change.
    Social Change characterizes every
    society. However its direction,
    speed and nature are affected by
    several factors.
    FACTORS THAT AFFECT
    SOCIAL CHANGE:

    1. Physical Environment
    Certain geographic changes sometimes
    produce great social change. Climate,
    storms, social erosion, earthquakes,
    floods, droughts etc., definitely affect
    social life and induce social change.
    Human life is closely bound up with the
    geographical conditions of the earth.
    2. Demographic
    (biological) Factor
    Demographic change can have
    consequences for the structure of family,
    kinship, political and other institutions.
    The size of population affects each of us
    quite personally. Whether we are born
    into a growing or a shrinking population
    has a bearing on our education, the age
    at which we marry, our ability to get a
    job, the taxes we pay and many other
    factors.
    The population of every society is
    always changing both in numbers as
    well as in composition. Population
    changes have occurred all through
    human history because of migration,
    war, pestilence, changing mores etc.
    3. Cultural
    Factor
    Social and the cultural aspects are
    closely interwoven. Thus, any
    change in the culture (ideas, values,
    beliefs etc.) brings a corresponding
    change in the whole social order.
    4. Economic Factor
    Of economic influences, the most
    far-reaching is the impact of indus-
    trialisation. It has revolutionised the
    whole way of life, institutions,
    organisations and community life.
    5. Political factor
    State is the most powerful
    organisation which regulates the
    social relationships. It has the
    power to legislate new laws,
    repeal old ones to bring social
    change in the society.
    The type of political leadership and
    individuals in power also influences the
    rate and direction of social change. In
    many societies the political leadership
    controls the economy also. Scientific-
    technological and non-technological
    change are also dependent on political
    development which indirectly affects
    social change.
    6. Science and
    Technology as factors
    of Social Change:
    In contemporary times science and
    technology happens to be the most
    important factor of social change.
    New scientific inventions and
    technologies always greatly
    influence the social life.
    Mechanisation brings changes in the
    economic structure and relations. This
    leads to a change in old values, norms
    and ideals.
    Technology brings about changes in the
    physical environment and the material
    culture of each society which in turn
    gives birth to social change.
