Abstract

Currently, the world has undergone many changes and developments in various aspects of life. As time goes by, change and development will continue to occur and cannot be avoided because life itself is something dynamic, meaning that life always experiences change, development, and movement over time, where there is no condition that is permanent or static. However, not all societies accept these changes easily. Many of them show resistance to the socio-cultural changes occurring in their environment. Therefore, this research examines the causes and impacts of socio-cultural changes in society triggered by various internal and external factors. These changes provoke various reactions in society, including resistance in the form of attachment to tradition, fear of negative impacts, and unpreparedness for technological innovation. This research shows that socio-cultural changes can bring positive impacts, such as improved quality of life and competitiveness, as well as negative impacts like juvenile delinquency, crime, and protests. The results of this study suggest that society should be selective in accepting changes that bring positive influences and limit negative impacts that can disrupt the social order. Additionally, a selective understanding of socio-cultural changes is expected to maintain a balance between change and existing traditional values. In addition, this research also examines the role of education in addressing community resistance to socio-cultural changes, as well as the educational strategies to overcome socio-cultural resistance.
