Context: can't you see a difference in Europe today and Europe a 100 years ago, or for that matter 12,000 years ago. There were constant wars in Euorpe for the last 12,000 years. And then over night in historical terms all is quiet. Why? What do you think happened? There has to be a reason. And the juxtaposition of scientific advances and cultural lag explains how a country with smart scientists good act like barbarians. A 100 years ago we did not allow women to vote, and we had segregation until 1964, and 150 years ago we had slavery. Germany and Japan were super militaristic. And you statistic that 53% of women voted for Trump is not accurate! It was 54% for Harris and 44% for Trump. Your statistic was for white women only! statista.com AI Overview Learn more In sociology, "cultural lag" refers to the delay or gap that occurs when a society's non-material culture (like beliefs, values, and norms) struggles to adapt to rapid changes in its material culture (like technology and inventions), resulting in social issues and conflicts; essentially, it's the time it takes for cultural norms to catch up with technological advancements, a concept coined by sociologist William F. Ogburn. Key points about cultural lag: Material vs. Non-material culture: The core idea is that material culture tends to change faster than non-material culture, creating a lag in adaptation. Social problems: This lag can lead to social issues as new technologies are introduced without established norms or laws to guide their use. Example: The early days of automobiles, where technology was rapidly developing but laws and societal norms regarding driving were still forming, is often cited as an example of cultural lag.
