Change In Society

Improved Essays
What would the world be like if change was nonexistent? Where would society be as a whole? Many people have different views on change and its overall effect on society. Some feel change has a positive influence on the world; others find it a negative force that shouldn't exist. However, if there was no change at all in the world, there wouldn't be technology, medicine, or learning taking place at all. Change helps the world grow and without it the world wouldn't be where it is now.

People gain knowledge because change introduces new and different situations that always offer a chance to learn.

Our relationship grew because of the sudden change that happened the instant that car accident took place.

In conclusion, change is essential to society. Everything that is on the Earth today has come from some form of change, including all of the advanced technology we have, all of the fantastic medicine available to us, and all the learning that takes place in the world. Someone once said, "Change is difficult. Not changing is fatal."

    In Thomas Sowells article ““Cultural Diversity: A World View, Sowell explained that although change would come in time by people giving up the habits and ways of the past, they would still be the same person or cultural group that they were prior to the change. His examples included immigrants that made their way to America. He explained that although these immigrants experienced change and had to adapt to their new life, their DNA was engraved with their past cultural diversities. Sowell explained that although some cultures eventually change their ways it doesn't mean that their ways of the past were bad.
