What This Module is About
The famous saying goes; the only constant thing in this world is change. It is
inevitable. Whether we like it or not, change will happen. In the course of time, many
factors have brought changes in the social, cultural and political aspects of the society.
With the onset of technology, globalization, and modernization, the contemporary
society has also started. With this, human beings have to adapt the changes brought
by these agents or otherwise, we might get left behind.
This module brings us to the social, cultural, and political changes of the society.
The causes and sources of these changes are also discussed.

What Is It
“Staying at home and the “new normal” because of covid-19 are the best examples for
this. Any change of what we perceived as a normal thing in our lives, may it be
intentional or not, may lead to social change.
2
in factories has led to a change in the acquisition of the workforce where there are
only few individuals are needed to run an industry than in a manual work set-up.
Environment. A population change may affect the environment and the natural
resources. Likewise, a change in the environment will also affect the people and the
society. Because of the changes in the population (increase), people will now be using
all the natural resources available. The way human interact with the environment and
the way members of the population utilize the resources aggravate the impact of those
natural disasters.
Social contradictions and tensions apply only to humans. There are instances
that a new idea somehow may lead to innovation, but instead, it can disturb patterns
and relationships between people, likewise, the encountering of other cultures may
lead to tensions and conflict.
3
Inter-ethnic conflict is an armed conflict between different ethnic groups.
When two or more ethnic groups meet because they are occupying or living in the
same territory, there are so many possibilities that may arise. One of these is
misunderstanding between these groups that would likely lead to conflict and would
result to war.
Political violence can be the result not only of ethnic conflict but also of class
conflict. In political science, political violence is also seen as a manifestation of
aggressive politics, and it includes revolutions, civil war, riots, strikes, and peaceful
protest movements. Two of the more serious forms of political violence are revolution
and terrorism.
Revolution involves a public seizure of the state with the main goal of
overturning the existing political structures. Revolutions involve the public, and are
usually attended by rapid, structural changes that usually involve the use of violence.
Gender issue is also a source of social contradictions and tensions. The issue
on gender equality has been a subject on social discussions for quite some time up to
the present. Gender equality refers to a view that all genders, including men and
women, should receive equal treatment, and therefore should not be discriminated
against based on their gender. UNICEF (United Nations children’s Fund) describes
gender equality as “women and men, and girls and boys, enjoy the same rights,
resources, opportunities and protections. It does not require that girls and boys, or
women and men, be the same, or that they be treated exactly alike.
