Martin's Theory of Social Change

Martin's Theory of Social Change proposes that societal transformation occurs through shifting collective values, beliefs, and behaviors over time. It emphasizes that change is driven by evolving ideas within communities rather than just external factors like technology or economics. These transformations gradually alter social norms, institutions, and relationships, shaping the development of society. Essentially, Martin’s view highlights the importance of ideas and cultural evolution as core to understanding how and why societies change over periods.
