The essence of social changes

Abstract

The whole modern world is associated with profound changes. They affect all spheres of human civilization. If the society hadn‘t changed, it would have died. The concept of "social change" in sociology is used to describe the dynamics in the society. But nowadays the term "social change" is not used in the sociology. In the social sciences and in practical politics there is a concept of "social development", which means a certain kind of social change that is directed towards the improvement, complications improvements. However, there are many other social changes that can‘t be recognized like changes in the direction of cultivation. Therefore, the concept of "social change" has become widespread. Social change does not involve any changes in any sphere (economic, political, spiritual),it involves changes in social systems, social stratification, social communities, social processes, institutions, organizations and their interactions.
