Cultural Change
Captions available
The idea
Cultural change is the process by which a culture's material and nonmaterial elements alter over time, through internal development or outside contact.
In practice
A society's rules about who works, and where, look different across three generations.
Where people slip
Change is normal and continuous; a culture holding still is the thing needing explanation.
