<u>Culture lag</u> occurs when the laws were changed to disallow phone use—a technology that has become more prevalent—while driving to reduce accidents.
A theoretical phenomenon known as "cultural lag" occurs when advancements in material culture occur earlier or perhaps more quickly than advancements in non-material culture.
As a result, people may experience moral and ethical conundrums as new social norms emerge.
The sociological concept of cultural lag can be used to recognize and explain social conflicts, foresee and solve present issues, reduce accidents, and investigate how the adoption of new technologies can be challenging if a society is not ready for them.
