    Study Notes

    Cultural Change

    • Culture adapts in response to new environments, making it dynamic and flexible.
    • Factors driving cultural change include:
      • Technological innovations that introduce new tools and practices
      • Political innovations or changes in political institutions that influence societal norms
      • Interactions between societies that facilitate the exchange of information and techniques
      • Population growth leading to shifts in social structures and demands

    Modes of Cultural Change

    • Value Conversion
      • Involves replacing existing cultural values with new ones.
    • Value Creation
      • Emergence of new cultural values and beliefs tailored to address new societal situations.
    • Value Connection
      • Establishment of new relationships between previously unconnected cultural elements or reconnection in innovative ways.

    Example of Cultural Adaptation

    • The perception of women in the workforce has evolved significantly over the last century.
    • Historically, it was deemed acceptable for lower-class women to work, while upper-class women were expected to remain at home.
    • The societal shift occurred post-World War I when men were away, and women stepped into roles to support families, thus altering cultural beliefs about gender and work.
