2. Technology The knowledge and tools people use to manipulate their environment is technology. Discovery – occurs when people recognize new uses for existing things/understand them in different ways. Invention – occurs when existing knowledge creates something that did not exist before.

Population A change in the population or demographic may cause change. Examples: An older population may change the culture’s values to more traditional values. A larger population may identify different social problems, such as poverty, transportation, schools, etc. A more diverse population may have more different social issues/values.

Diffusion The spreading of cultural traits from one society to another. Globalization is the term for the increasing interaction and sharing of cultures among different countries. Ex: The U.S. shared baseball with many other countries. Ex: Some of the French language is in our vocabulary.

The Physical Environment The physical geography may encourage/discourage cultural change. Ex: Japan didn’t become “modern” until the 1800s. It’s an island, so it did not interact often. Ex: Natural disasters can cause social change by bringing communities together.
