Psychological factors
The cause of social change is the psychology of man himself. Man, in general, is a lover of change, is always trying to discover new things and is always anxious for novel experiences. As a result of this tendency, the traditions, customs, etc. of every human society is perpetually undergoing change. New customs and methods which replace the old traditional customs are being formed. However, the old customs are respected but time demands change and adaptation to changing conditions. In addition to this, appearance of new opinions, thoughts etc. also cause social change. For example changes in the attitude towards dowry, caste system, female education etc. have resulted in widespread social change. Similarly social changes are introduced by the advent of great thinkers as M.K. Gandhi, Karl Marx etc. |
