Cultural change

Cultural change is a concept that denotes some internal and external factors leading to change in the cultural pattern of societies,may come from many sources but most of them comes through contact with other culture, inventions and internal adjustment of culture.There are many factors of cultural change such as contact between two cities, technology evolution, and geographical and ecological factor is a natural or a physical factor that decides the culture and lifestyle of the people. David Dressier and Donald Carns have made the following observations with regard to the causes of cultural changes such as a situation they adopt some of the new customs, reject others, and follow modified versions of still others.Cultural change leads to chain reaction, whenever a change is incorporated into the culture and becomes defined as a ‘social necessity’, new needs emerge, generating the desire for still further changes to complement or supplement the original change.
