Chapter 17
Chapter Introduction When you see photos or films showing the Plains Indians of the Old West – Sioux, Crow, and so forth – what do you think about the culture of those Native Americans? If you’re like most of us, you may assume that it had remained the same for many centuries – that these people dressed and acted in exactly the same way as their ancestors.
Chapter 17
Chapter Introduction We often assume that nonindustrial societies such as these stand still over time. Sociology teaches us that change comes to all societies. Change may come by way of borrowing from other cultures, discovery, or technological developments – either way, all cultures experience social change.
Chapter 17
Section Preview Social change refers to new behaviors that have long-term and relatively important consequences. Discovery, invention, and diffusion are the major social processes through which social change occurs. Important agents of social change are technology, population, the natural environment, revolution, and war.
Chapter 17, Section 1
Social Change Defining Social Change
Social Change: new social behaviors with important long-term consequences. Change is one of the most constant features of American society. This is so true, it is almost cliché. • All societies change.
• Some more rapidly or slowly than others. • In the grand scheme of history, human social
change occurred in a “blink of an eye.”
Chapter 17, Section 1
Social Change • When we look at social change from the
perspective of a human lifespan – it seems to be a very slow process.
• It is difficult to predict how society will change. • This is in part due to the effects of cultural
change on society. • Change does not merely “happen” to people.
• People in a society can consciously decide for themselves how change will occur.
• A people in a society can avoid predicted affairs or draw towards specific goals.
Chapter 17, Section 1
Social Change • These facts should not discourage people
from attempting to understand changes in society.
• Understanding why some societies change faster than others is another difficult task. • Sociologists have identified several
important social processes that influence the pace of social change.
• Several specific factors play important roles.
Chapter 17, Section 1
Social Change Social Process
Social Processes: series of steps leading to change on a social level. Discovery: process by which something is learned or reinterpreted. Invention: the creation of something new from previously existing items or processes.
Chapter 17, Section 1
Social Change Diffusion: process by which one culture or society borrows from another culture or society. A process is a series of steps that gradually lead to a result. As you get closer to graduation from high school, you may decide to continue your formal education. • You will then begin a process of applying to
colleges.
Chapter 17, Section 1
Social Change • You will follow the necessary order and
processes for application and acceptance to the schools of your choice. • Ideals, this will result in an acceptance
letter. Cultures and Societies experience social process as a result of significant changes. • Three important social processes are
discovery, invention, and diffusion.
Chapter 17, Section 1
Social Change • Discovery – When early ocean explorers
did not fall of the edge of the world, they changed what all but a few people believed about the shape of the earth. • Examples of discovery would be salt. • Salt was used as food seasoning,
but was later discovered to be a good preservative of certain foods.
• Invention – Examples of physical inventions come to mind easily.
Chapter 17, Section 1
Social Change • The automobile, airplane, telephone,
internet, etc. • Diffusion – The rate and extent of diffusion
depends on the degree of social contact – the more contact – the more likely there will be an exchange of objects and ideas.
• Examples of diffusion are American Colonists learning to farm from the Native Americans or cotton growing techniques developed in India.
• Diffusion may take place between groups within a society.
Chapter 17, Section 1
Social Change Technology
Technology: knowledge and tools used to achieve practical goals. • Besides the three processes for social
change, sociologists have identified some major forces that lead to change.
• The appearance of technology is generally a sign that social change will soon follow. • Technology is a prime promoter of social
change.
Chapter 17, Section 1
Social Change • The creation of the silicon chip, which
led to the computer revolution, has brought about technological change at an astounding rate. • It took more than a century for
telephones to spread to 94% of the homes in the United States.
• The prediction for the next big social changes will involve technology and the workplace.
Chapter 17, Section 1
Social Change • With technology and human
interaction becoming seemingly seamless, more workers will have an option to work from home.
Chapter 17, Section 1
Social Change Population
Changing demographics are another important demographic for creating social change. • A classic example is the huge increase in the
birth of babies following the return of American soldiers at the end of World War II (the so-called baby boom).
• Americans born between 1946 and 1964 caused the expansion of child healthcare facilities and created the need for more teachers and schools in the 1950’s and 1960’s.
Chapter 17, Section 1
Social Change • As the baby boomers retire, problems with
health care and Social Security loom. • Longer working hours, retraining programs,
and reeducation for older people will likely become political issues in the near future.
• There has already been a significant increase in elderly care and retirement homes focused on medicine, activities, and the extended life the modern healthcare system provides.
Chapter 17, Section 1
Social Change The Natural Environment
Interaction with the natural environment has, from the earliest times, also transformed American life. • From the beginning the vast territory west of
the thirteen colonies allowed the expansion of the United States all the way to the Pacific Ocean. • Not only did this alter and grow the
American social system – it caused untold changes to the environment around us – most tragically the irreparable damage to Native American homelands and cultures.
Chapter 17, Section 1
Social Change • The natural environment shaped history
and society through great natural disasters like drought. • Drought and poor farming practices led
to the Great Depression. • In the 1970’s, OPEC (an organization of
oil-producing nations) launched an embargo, refusing to sell its oil to other countries.
Chapter 17, Section 1
Social Change • Because of the natural short supply of
oil without the contribution of oil-rich Middle-Eastern countries, oil products became scarce and expensive – contributing to economic inflation though the 1970’s and 1980’s. • American began driving smaller
and more fuel efficient vehicles.
Chapter 17, Section 1
Social Change Revolution and War
Revolution: sudden and complete overthrow of a social or political order. Revolution and War are related factors that lead to social change. • A revolution is often, but not always,
accompanied by violence. • Most revolutionists believe revolution
will bring about change.
Chapter 17, Section 1
Social Change • A revolution result in a change of one set of
power holders to another. • In most cases, the new social order created is a
compromise between the new and the old social orders.
War brings about social change through diffusion, discovery, and invention. • Social change occurs through diffusion because
war breaks down barriers between societies, bringing people of different societies together.
Chapter 17, Section 1
Social Change • This association leads to new ways of
thinking, feeling, and behaving. • War also promotes invention and discovery. • During World War I (1914-1918), the
pressure of war allowed the U.S. government to promote and finance such technologies as the airplane, automobile, nylon, and radio. • Each contributed to the cultural
revolution of the war.
Chapter 17, Section 1
Social Change America’s culture was imported by other cultures all over the world.
