SOCIAL CHANGE AND ITS EFFECT IN TYE EDUCATION SYSTEM
Change- is the law of nature which can be called as the ‘only constant thing in the world’ which
never changes its specific characteristic of bringing changes.
When the change occurs in the structure and functions of the society, it so called as social
change which is not confined to one society or two, but it is a universal phenomenon which
results from the interaction of different factors which might be with the society or outside it.
Social change- it refers to the changes occurring in any aspect of social process, social patterns,
social interactions or social organizations.
Social change has been defined by different sociologists in different manners but in similar
directions.
1. “A significant alteration over time in behavior culture, patterns, includes norms and
values.”-Wilbert Moore
2. “Social change is a term used to describe variations in, or modifications of, any aspect of
social processes, social patterns, social interactions or social organization.” M. E. Jones
3. “Social change may be defined as a new fashion or mode either modifying or replacing
the old, in the life of people or in the operations of a society.” H. T. Mazumdar
Some Essential Characteristics of “Social Change “

1. Universality of Social Change:
- Social change is universal. It characterises every society. No society is static. It is
continuously in flux. This becomes evident from the fact that each modern society
is today different from its past form. Under the impact of several internal and
external factors, each society experiences changes in its structures, functions,
institutions and processes.
2. Social Change is not Uniform:

- Social Change differs from society to society. Change is the law of nature.
Change is the spice of life. However, it can be progressive or regressive, positive
or negative, permanent or temporary, planned or unplanned, unidirectional or
multidirectional, beneficial or harmful.
3. Social Change involves Community Change:

- Change does not mean the change in the life of an individual or several
individuals or some groups of individuals. It is a change involving the life of the
entire community. It characterises and influences the life of the whole
community. It is a community change and not an individual change.
4. Nature and Speed of Social Change in Various Societies is Different:
- In all societies the nature and speed of social change varies. Each society has it
own history and culture. Naturally, it experiences social change which is different
in nature and speed from the social change which comes in every other society.
5. Social Change is again Relative to Time:
- Social Change characterises each society. Its speed, however, always differs from
time to time and is not essentially uniform. It keeps on changing from time to
time.
6. Social Change shows a Chain-Reaction Sequence:

Since social change always comes under the impact of several social, economic, technological
and situational factors, it very often shows a Chain-Reaction sequence
7. No one can Predict Social Change:

It is indeed very difficult to predict the nature of social change that might come in a society. No
sociologist can really predict it. There can be some probable or possible prediction but no can
present any valid and deterministic prediction about social change in society.
In general, sociologists define social change as changes in the human interactions and
relationships that transform cultural and social transformation. These changes occur over time
and often have profound and long-term effects for the society. The Financial Institutions 2025
Risk Index identified six megatrends that continues to shape and influences our society.

the finance industry as new challengers are emerging and growing customer expectations

behavioral profile of customers are forcing financial Institutions to deal with divergent
customer expectations, and new customer bases and workforces.

landscape will be required to respond to increasing regulatory pressures, a changing
approach to risk management and the emergence of new markets.
 Business Operating Model pressures - Regulation and the increasing cost of capital is
exerting pressure on business operating structures, driving segmentation, and
disintermediation in the financial sector.
 Regulatory changes and complexity - Regulatory pressures arising from the financial
crisis have increased the cost of capital, prompted large-scale divestment, reshaped
attitudes toward risk, and redrawn the boundary between retail and wholesale banking.
 Changes in investment, capital sources and returns - Non-bank financial institutions,

fintech companies, and new investors are bringing fresh capital into the sector while
banks meet capital requirements, manage stress tests, and spend on compliance upgrades.
