processual perspective

The processual perspective is a way of understanding societies by focusing on their ongoing change and development over time. Instead of seeing societies as static or fixed, it views cultural, social, and economic aspects as constantly evolving processes influenced by relationships, environments, and historical events. This approach emphasizes understanding how different parts of a society interact and change, helping us see the dynamic nature of human communities. It’s like observing a river in motion, recognizing that society is always flowing and adapting rather than remaining unchanged.
