Question (English)

Which of the following is NOT true about the characteristics of social change?

  1. It is a universal phenomenon
  2. It is a community change
  3. It is a uniform change ✓ Correct
  4. It is a law of nature
Explanation:
Correct Answer (False Statement): It is a uniform change

The statement 'Social change is a uniform change' is NOT true. In fact, the correct characteristic is: The speed of social change is NOT uniform — it varies across different societies, cultures, and time periods.

Correct Characteristics of Social Change
  1. Social change is a universal phenomenon (occurs in every society). ✔
  2. Social change is a community change (affects the whole community, not just an individual). ✔
  3. Speed of social change is NOT uniform (varies by context). ✔ (The false option incorrectly says it IS uniform.)
  4. Change is a law of nature. ✔
  5. Prediction of social change is difficult. ✔
Memory Tip

Social change = Universal + Community + Non-uniform + Natural law + Unpredictable. Remember the key is NON-uniform — different societies change at different speeds.
