Class assignment
editHello everyone, my name is Paul Joaseus, and I am doing an assignment for my sociology class. It basically involves me becoming one of you and editing a Wikipedia page. My goal is to add more content to this page and I'd appreciate any critique or help that you'd be willing to offer me. Thanks and have a nice day. Reptarlightyear (talk) 01:33, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
External link to NGO India?
editThe External Links lead to a website of an Indian NGO. The pages on that site are not relevant to the article on social change. Suggest deletion. H. Peston (talk) 06:43, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

Paragraph in need of revision
editThe second paragraph in the Global Demographic Shifts section is poorly written and lacks citations. It needs to be either revised or removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BenniBraun (talk • contribs) 04:23, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
Adding text to the types of change section
editDear editors of the social change page. I propose adding new text to the "Types of change" section. Please see below the suggested text:
From a systems science perspective, social change can differ based on whether it is (a) internally or (b) externally driven, and (c) non-structural or (d) structural. [1] Internally-driven non-structural change refers to any variation within the range permitted by the structure of a social system because of regular internal functioning. Externally-driven non-structural change is any variation within the range permitted by the structure of a social system, as a reaction to the system’s environment. Internally-driven structural change refers to any modification of a social system’s structure because of regular internal functioning or as a proactive effort to adjust to change in the system’s environment. Finally, Externally-driven structural change is any modification of a social system’s structure by its environment.
