Understanding Social Change
- Understanding Social Change
- As Weinstein explains in our text on Social Change, our contemporary understanding regarding social change is that it may be intentional or it may be unintentional. In other words, individuals or social movements can intentionally cause social change (either progressive or regressive). It is equally true that unintended changes in society can result from environmental changes, migrations of people responding to war, climate change, cultural clashes, and urbanization.
- Drawing from your readings, discuss one example of intended or unintended progressive social change and one example of intended or unintended regressive social change.
- In light of the probability that there will always be proponents of change as well as persons seeking to maintain the status quo, discuss how human services professionals may play a role in advancing progressive social change or regressive social change.

Discussion2
Public Policy and Response to Social Change
Discuss three models for the development of public policy (public choice, group theory, and elite theory) and the suitability of each model for human services. Recognizing that community opinion, informed small groups, or the political elite may be the dominant source of social problem identification, make a judgement about the best source on which to rely, depending on the subject matter. Draw on your reading of Simon's Public Policy text, Chapter 2 when considering your analysis of whether one or another of the models is most suitable.
Learning Components
This activity will help you achieve the following learning components:
- Discuss the appropriate application of policy development models to identified community social problems and issues.
