Question

What does the phrase “ The more things change the more things stay the same “ means

Answer 1

 I will set you an example, in the city you are living in today, you or your parents have seen changes throughout the years, right? that means that you have been in the SAME city many years to notice them, so that means that the more changes are happening, the more things stay the same referring to your family or traditions, time is just passing by but personally, nothing has changed or affected you... I'm only a Senior, not a teacher neither a processor, this is just another point of view, good luck with your essay!

Answer 2

Imagine you are a baby you keep growing but you stay you you can't change who you are, that stays the same. You can get taller and get acne but you are still you.
