It is constant and steady
reality that human kind is
deemed to face as society
grows and cultural beliefs
are influenced by controlled
and uncontrolled forces.
It is evident because of
Social Changes.

4. SOCIAL CHANGE
"change is constant"
pertains to any change in
interrelationships or relationships
of people in society.
change is inevitable phenomenon, it
may be individual in nature, relating
to people in a small group or affect
an entire society as a whole.

5. PERSPECTIVE ON
SOCIAL CHANGE
As man progresses, there
is a tendency to move
from happiness to
discontent or
dissatisfaction. As Plato
mentioned in "The
Republic" that man is an
insatiable animal and this
insatiability created
feeling of determination
because of the ever-
increasing need or hunger
for more.
DETERMINATION
THEORY
Cycles of Rise:
According to Spengler
(1918) and Arnold J.
They argued that
societies and
civilisations change
according to cycles of
rise, decline and fall
just as individual
persons are born,
mature, old age, and
death.
CYCLICAL THEORY
Posits that
society will
undergo three
stages of change:
religious,
philosophic and
positive.
THEORY OF
AUGUSTE COMTE

6. Compared social change as
to that of a
microorganism. As per
Spencer, society is
innately militant and
struggled for survival. To
each his own- every
individual struggled to
exist. This type of
militant society moved to
industrialism to
differentiate itself and
eventually moved to
integration.
THEORY OF
HERBERT SPENCER
Marx posits that
Economic Factor is the
one and ONLY factor that
is solely responsible for
Social Change. He called
this theory
"Deterministic" or the
"single factor theory" of
change in society. This
economic factor is the reason
for the continuous class
struggle in society.

MARX

7. ·We are living in Digital Age, for many, "technology"
is often associated with gadgets and the internet.
But when we say "technology" it may be defined as
applying our knowledge in creating tools and the use
of natural resources (Schaefer and Lamm, 1992). It
may include machines or instruments that facilitate
human interaction.
·Karl Marx also contributed to this and focused on
the importance of technology interms of
production. To him, technological developments has
an effect on production and human relations and
institutions that make up the economic scheme.

as in labor which in turn caused increase in unemployment.

transportation and communication is continuously evolving, progressing and ever-
changing.
