D. Discussion
 Changes in our society are evident today. The way our ancestors lived in the past
was too way different from our ways in the present. The rise of science through
innovation, invention and new discovery brought so much change to how people
live their lives today. Social science in its broadest sense, study the society and the
manner in which people behave and influence the world around us. That is how
people interact with each other, behave, develop as a culture, and influence the
world.

Social change denotes to any substantial transformation of behavioral patterns,

values and social norms over time. There are several and wide-ranging causes of
social change. The common causes of social change as acknowledged by social
scientists includes; technology, population, and environment.
1. Technology – Nowadays, technologies are very beneficial to human being and it
shaped changes in our lives today. Gearing towards 21st century, numerous
innovations were made. Examples for technology inventions are advances in the field
of communication, transportation, devices, appliances, infrastructures and agricultural
technology. Indeed, we cannot deny the fact that technology has impacted all aspects
of modern life.
2. Population – The composition of population is changing at every level of society
over time and space. The births increase and decrease contributes to how society
changes. The population trends have an incredible interconnected impact on all
aspects of society around the world.
3. Environment - The natural disasters is considered one that contributes social change.
It changes the physical, social, and economic landscape of humanity. As human
populations expand its territories to move into more vulnerable areas, we see a surge
number of people affected by natural catastrophes.

Political change Happens when the rulers in a nation lose power or the kind of
governance in the nation. Governance is the type of framework used to run a
nation. Example of the kinds of governance is democracy and monarchy. There
are two manners by which political change may happen: inside or remotely.
Internal political change this is instigated by people of the country. It can be
done through significant events, such as elections and rulers opt to end his power
over, or through irregular events, such as a coup d’état or a rebellion.
External political change is instigated or imposed by other countries. It is usually
accomplished through military threats or extortions but could occur through
embargoes and/or withholding foreign aid. If it is successfully accomplished by
the military, then a new leader will be positioned in charge by the triumphant
attempt to impose foreign power.

CULTURAL CHANGE this idea denotes that some internal and external factors
influence the cultural pattern of societies leading to change.
There are three main factors of cultural change:
A. Contact - The exchange of ideas between two societies will evidently change the
culture of both societies. This is done through the process called “cultural diffusion”
and “acculturation” Cultural diffusion is the transfer of cultural practices, beliefs and
social activities from one group of people to another while acculturation is the
process of barrowing social patterns of values, and customs from one group to
another.
 B. Technology Evolution – The emergence of technological evolution will bring change
of culture of one’s country. Example for the latest inventions created by technology,
is our means of communication, transportation, devices and many more that are very
noticeable in our society
Geographical and ecological factor - The type of climate, altitude of the place,
and its geographical location contributes the type lifestyle and culture of the
people. Any changes in the physical landscapes will automatically affect the way
of living, habits, and practices that lead to a change of one’s culture.
