Question

Define the term social change and state TWO social changes you may encounter as a student or as an employee next year.

Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

We can define social change as all the daily interactions humans have that result in the transformation of culture, ideas, institutions, and belief systems once established in society.

Two social changes you may encounter as a student or as an employee next year will be the following.

1) The challenge of technology in the workplace. Technology advances constantly and has dramatically affected the workplace. This has advantages and disadvantages. Advantages are that technology makes operations and communications more efficient. The disadvantage is that it has displaced humans for machines.

2) Labor competition. With so many layoffs due to the presence of A.I. and machines, there will be less necessity for employees in the workplace. So there should be fierce competition for the number of job openings, and people must be well-prepared to access the job market.
