SOCIAL CHANGE REFERS TO CHANGES IN THE WAY SOCIETY IS ORGANIZED AND


IN THE BELIEFS AND PRACTICES OF THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN IT. YOUR
ASSIGNMENT IS TO LOOK AT CHANGE IN CANADIAN SOCIETY IN THE LAST 60
YEARS AND TO PREDICT FUTURE CHANGE.
Part One choose 2 areas of Canadian life which you believe to have changed significantly in
the last 60 years. Keep in mind the above definition. Use your own knowledge as well as some
basic research (statistics, studies, laws) to answer the following questions for each change you

other facts to support your opinion.

society? Explain. (2 marks each)
