Social change is more likely to occur in societies where there is a mixture of different kinds of people than in societies where people are similar in many ways. The simple reason for this is that there are more different ways of looking at things present in the first kind of society. There are more ideas, more disagreements in interest, and more groups and organizations with different beliefs. In addition, there is usually a greater worldly interest and greater tolerance in mixed societies. All these factors tend to promote social change by opening more as of life to decision. 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 seems to be the same. And although conditions may not be satisfactory, they are at least customary and undisputed.
Within a society, social change is also likely to occur more frequently and more readily in the material aspects of the culture than in the non-material, for example, in technology rather than in values; in what has been learned later in life rather than what was learned early; in the less basic and less emotional aspects of society than in their opposite; in the simple elements rather than in the complex ones; in form rather than in substance; and in elements that are acceptable to the culture rather than in strange elements.
Furthermore, social change is easier if it is gradual. For example, it comes more readily in human relations on a continuous scale rather than one with violent changes. This is one reason why change has not come more quickly to Black Americans as compared to other American minorities, because of the sharp difference in appearance between them and their white counterparts. [br] The passage mainly discusses ______.
选项
A、the necessity of social change
B、certain factors that determine the ease with which social change occurs
C、the way to slow down social change
D、how to promote social change
答案
B
解析
本题是主旨题。文中第一句就提到了社会变迁更容易经常发生在混合社会,然后具体分析了社会变化经常容易发生在哪些方面,因此能正确概括文章大意的是B选项。A选项原文未提及。原文的目的不是为了介绍如何减缓或加速社会变迁,而只是分析哪些因素影响社会变迁,因此排除C、D选项。
