Question

Why the speed of social change is not uniform?

Answer 1

Though social change is an ever-present phenomenon, its degree or rate or what we call the speed is not uniform. ... For example, in the rural social structure the rate of change is slower because the rate of change is not governed by any universal law, whereas it is quick in the urban societies.

Answer 2

The speed of social change is not uniform because elements like social, economic, political, religious, moral, etc. are different at different places.

Explanation:

• Social change between village and town is different as towns are more adaptable to new technologies, education system, and ways of living.
• The lifestyle of people has changed. In villages, no girl can live without marriage whereas, in towns, girls are living on their own and without marrying anyone being single mothers.
• In older times, preference was given to joint families whereas, in today's world, couples are living in isolated families.
• In developed countries like America, farming is mainly based on scientific tools whereas, in developing countries like India, most of the farming is still based on farmers' hard work.
