Cultural Lag, Extended

State

Soc 0332 locks cultural lag as material culture outpacing the nonmaterial culture governing it; this entry extends that lock to technology as a change driver (ch. 21.3).

Show

A community resisting a new technology, then developing norms to govern its use, illustrates culture lagging behind technology.

Watch for

Cultural lag names a timing gap, not a permanent mismatch; norms eventually catch up after disruption.
