A lot of changes take place in this world and one of them is the social change. It is defined as the change that occurs in the structure of the society and social practices.

A number of new social trends are introduced, while a number of social trends are abandoned as well. There are a number of factors that are responsible for the introduction of changes in the society, besides population. These include the environment and the urban culture and practices.
