Social Change<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Social change refers to an alteration in the social order of a group or society such as Social behavior, relation, modification in cultural values and norms, etc. Change is an ever-present Phenomenon everywhere. The term social change is used to indicate the changes that take place in human interactions and interrelations.<\/p>\n

Greek Philosopher Heraclitus said, \u201cit is impossible for man to step into the same river twice.\u201d Because of the interval of time between the 1st and 2nd stepping both the river and the man have changed.<\/p>\n

It is considered the notion of progress. Nothing social remains the same nothing social abides. Change is ever-present in the world because change is the law of nature. Even society is a dynamic entity and is an ongoing process or it is the subject to constant change.<\/p>\n
