Change involves movement from one state to another over time. Societies, individuals, and their political, economic, social, and cultural conditions have all changed over history. Change is inevitable and constant, involving relationships between causes, processes, and consequences that must be limited in analysis by time, place, and specifics. Change can be natural or artificial as well as intentional or unintentional, and may have positive or negative effects.
