DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SOCIAL AND
CULTURAL CHANGE!
Some early textbook writers have made distinction
between social and cultural changes, while others
have considered these two terms as one and the
same thing like what Gillin and Gillin (1954) and
Dawson and Getty’s (1948) said that “there is no
difference between social and cultural changes.”
According to Dawson and Getty’s, “cultural
changes is social change, since all culture is social
in it’s origin, meaning and usage”. Similar Gillin
and Gillin wrote: “social changes as varia-tions
from the accepted modes of life, whether due to
alterations in geographic conditions, in cultural
equipment, composition of population, or
ideologies.”
• Davis (1949) clarify the differences between social
changes and cultural changes and he said “ social
changes is only a part of a broader category of
change ‘called cultural change’ cultural changes
refers to all changes occurring in any branch of
culture including art, science, technology,
philosophy stc,. As well as changes in the forms and
rules of social organisations”.
• In a nutshell, it may be said that social changes
refers specifically to alter-ations in social
relationships among people in groups, whereas
cultural change refers to change in material and
non-material cultural elements both.
