What then is Culture Lag?
The term CULTURAL LAG according to Willam F. Ogburn, it is used to
describe the situation in which technological advancements or changes in
society occur faster than the changes in the rules and norms of the
culture that go along with those advancements or changes. This can lead
to moral and ethical dilemmas for individuals as the new social norms are
developed.
NOTE:
 technological progress produces rapid changes in the material
aspects of our culture, but the non-material aspects fail to adjust
or they do so only after an excessive time lag.”
 a change in any one part of the cultural pattern may create
strains and disturbances in the other closely related parts
 change in government, economic system, family life, education
and religion seems to have been much slower
