答案 Social change is more likely to occur in societies where there is a mixture of different kinds of people(a heterogeneous society)than in societies where people are similar in many ways(a homogeneous society). The principal reason for this is that there are more different ways of looking at things present in the society. There are more ideas, more disagreements in interest, and more groups and organizations with different beliefs. These result in a synergistic condition where in the total change within the society is greater than which occurs merely as a result of mixing different groups and organizations together. In addition, there is usually a greater worldly interest and greater respect for the beliefs and behavior of others in mixed societies. All these factors tend to promote social change by opening more areas of life to scrutiny and decision rather than keeping them under the control of authority. In a society where people are quite similar in many ways, there are fewer occasions for people to see the need or the opportunity for change because everything is the same. And although conditions may not be satisfactory, they are at least customary, and no one disagrees with or argues about them. In my opinion, once conditions, good or bad, become predictable, a certain comfort arises which makes change difficult. Change does occur in homogeneous societies, but it evolves slowly, focusing on details. But it is not the broad, dynamic type of change that occurs in heterogeneous societies.
