The History of Social Change in America provides readers with a compelling portrait of American society and how it has changed over the years. It contains current and historical information, insightful analysis, and easy-to-read graphs. Social change is defined as an alteration in the social order of a society. Social change may include changes in nature, social institutions, social behaviors, or social relations. A society can be influenced by numerous factors, such as natural disasters, demographics, economics, and politics.
