Synopsis Change in society is the need of time. Social Change inevitably involves tensions, maladjustments and often regressions, particularly in a traditional society which reacts with emotional resistance to any departure from ingrained habits of thought and action. A society’s degree of responsiveness to the changing needs of all of its members significantly affects its capacity to realize most societal values and to reduce alienation in the process. The approach of this book is exploratory and its purpose is introductory, so it will be highly useful to social scientists teachers and students in the field of social research.
