Development of Society

A better title may be Changes in the established society and its practices. All groups, races, clans, nationalities and country develop their own system of ethics, accepted behavior and standards for the group. This criterion will vary from group to group, but some standard is known as the norm. Of course, in large groups, such as countries, different groups will arise and they may establish their own ethics and standard of manners, customs and admission to the group. The aristocrat icy of England and other European countries is an example. India with its caste system is another.

But societies are never static and changes can and do occur. Usually some overt change will speed the transition. This may change due to wartime needs, radical changes in government, economic upheavals, etc. To these one must add the influence of communication from TV and now “social” communication, level of education, different ideas from younger generations and the recognition that drawing closer to other societies through travel, business, education and interfacing affects people’s thinking. We may not be one world, but the customs, beliefs of others bring us closer together and thus changes the way groups operate, believe, and progress.
