Abstract

The world is changing so rapidly that any rational forecast of future events is simply not feasible. We know from the records of prehistory and history that the patterns of culture of every human society change constantly.1 The rate and type of culture change may be slow and gradual, as it was during the Paleolithic, or fast and drastic, as it has been in contemporary societies. Generally, the factors influencing culture change are diversified — both internal and external. Internal factors, such as socioeconomic evolution and technical inventions, may lead to changes in people’s lifestyle; external factors, such as conquest by another culture, may bring about culture change. The roles of internal and external factors in culture change may be different, depending on different space and time conditions.2
