Social Movement - long-term effort to promote or prevent social change.

Ethnocentrism: 1. View their culture as superior than others. 2. Make cultural borrowing difficult. 3. Some countries won't buy products from "lesser" countries.
Cultural Lag: 1. Not all culture traits change at the same rate. 2. Material culture changes faster & non-material culture lags. 3. Technology made the US mostly urban and industrial.
Spreading culture traits from one population to another. More contact with other countries = more traits being borrowed. We trade objects and technology more freely than ideas and beliefs. Reformulation- we adapt the culture traits we borrow to suit our own needs.
VESTED INTERESTS: 1. In people who are satisfied with how things are now. 2. Resist any change taht threatens their security or standard of living. 3. Believe imperfect present is better than unknown future.
