Social Change

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words

In this final week of class, you have the opportunity to reflect on the material from the past 4 weeks. Sociology explores the relationships of people to one another, of individuals in groups, of groups within society, and the effect of the environment on all of them. Because the components of society are complex, social change is continuous. This week’s activities focused on causes of social change and the various types of social movements.  

Identify one major social change you have observed during the last 10 years. Share your selected social change with your classmates. Which of the following forces contributed to that social change, and how: technology, social institutions, population, environment? Were there any social movements that related to this social change? What effect did the movement have on the change?
