Cultural Lag, Extended

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Soc 0332 locks cultural lag as material culture outpacing the nonmaterial culture governing it; this entry extends that lock to technology as a change driver (ch. 21.3).

Watch for

Cultural lag names a timing gap, not a permanent mismatch; norms eventually catch up after disruption.
