cultural change
Society's evolving norms
Cultural change is a shift in the beliefs, values, behaviors, or practices of a society or group over time.
It can happen gradually through generational evolution or rapidly through technology, migration, or social movements.
The civil rights movement brought profound cultural change to America.
Organizations also undergo cultural change when leadership or circumstances demand new ways of working.
