Social change Social change may refer to the notion of social progress or sociocultural evolution, the philosophical idea that society moves forward by dialectical or evolutionary means. It may refer to a paradigmatic change in the socio-economic structure, for instance a shift away from feudalism and towards capitalism. Accordingly it may also refer to social revolution, such as the Socialist revolution presented in Marxism, or to other social movements, such as Women's suffrage or the Civil rights movement. Prominent theories of social change[edit] Change comes from two sources. There are many theories of social change. Hegelian: The classic Hegelian dialectic model of change is based on the interaction of opposing forces. Some major current social changes[edit] Global demographic shifts[edit] One of the most obvious changes currently occurring is the change in the relative global population distribution between countries.
