How are changes in knowledge connected to social changes?

The higher the level of education a person or society achieves... the smarter or more educated a person or society becomes... the better they can recognize errors or think of better solutions to personal or social problems... therefore laws are changed... rules are changed and etiquette standards are change.  This can be called... social or cultural evolution!

This question results from the widely (but wrongly) held belief that the arts are the CAUSE of societal behaviors. Sociologists and historians have long been well aware of the FACT that the arts do NOT cause social change -- they merely REFLECT it!\n\nRAP, tatooes, burn scarring, body piercing, violence against women and children, recreational drug use, and all of our other "social ills" are NOT causes, -- they are REFLECTIONS of what is already going on in society!\n\nTo discover CAUSES people must look at what has changed in family structure, child care, work environments, discretionary income, politics, health care, and most of all, the QUALITY OF EDUCATION!\n\nHistory will probably show that this period in American society was riddled with loss of strong moral values, lowered educational expectations, and many other symptoms of the decline of family structure, political integrity, and willingness of the population to accept personal responsibility for individual behaviors.\n\nAnd finally, religion is NOT the answer, -- things like honesty, integrity, reason, social responsibility, logic, and LOVE are! To the extent that religion leads us to these things, it is very useful.

People change because they're very resilient and our survival instinct helps us adapt to the surroundings we are in.  This applies to the physical environment and even the culture of the society there.

In this dynamic world things keep on changing due to technological development. example the ATMs installed in the banks have made the job of cashiers vanish. Similarly the computers are changing the job patterns and hence each organization has to restruture their employees nature of job they have to perform so that the idle labour is weeded out and only people are posted to places where their is work. This naturally results in change of job name , their pay scales etc, etc all this put together is known as restructuring.

There are many things that are happening since the last 5000 years. there are some societies who think good when they develop and some find it comfortable in th eold surroundings. What matters in the quality of what happen around us rather than the time since when it is happening.

Socialization is the process by which human beings or animals learn to adopt the behavior patterns of the community in which they live. For both humans and animals, this is typically thought to occur during the early stages of life, during which individuals develop the skills and knowledge necessary to function within their culture and environment. However, this also includes adult individuals moving into an environment significantly different from one(s) in which they have previously lived and must thus learn a new set of behaviors.\n\nalso see:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialization

Sociology is important in that it is the study of how humans interact with each other. This can help explain the many trends that exist in human society and provide a way of predicting trends in the future. It is a vital tool in the efforts to solve many of the social problems that exist.

There can only be two major impacts on change based on the above indices (policies, and relation strategies). The fist impact is positive: Team Effects which leads to greater performance and higher or increased productivity.  A positive impact on new or improved policy would result in improved product, productivity, employees' performance, improved utilization of human resource availability.... A negative impact based on organizational change will produce the opposite effect in the above mentioned actions.

Sure it is. How else will an individual or a Country change ? Or how else do you convince some one to do something different ? Rules.... Ethics.... laws.... change along with social changes. Hence how can there be permanent friend or foes ?

We become who we are as individuals as a result of our socialization in our social environment. If you want the answers to the "Why" questions in behavior (why do people steal, cheat, lie, etc...) you have to study social environment to get a better understanding. Social environment also helps us to predict behavior which can be helpful when you are looking at public policy. If poverty tends to lead to certain behaviors, you can attempt to alleviate the problem behavior by trying to meet the needs of the poor. Now of course it isnt this simplisitic, but human behavior can be analyzed best when taken in the context of social environment.
