Short Essay on the Effects of Technology and War on Social Change
Content: It depends very much on what the society is like before the war, what the war is about, how popular the war is, whether that particular country wins or loses the war, and many other variables. Wars and conquests affect social change mainly by exposing one culture to another. Wars can also affect social culture by impacting size and rate of growth of the human population in any location (where the war is being fought). For example, the major impact of WWII on US society as a whole was fairly positive. The war stimulated the US economy and helped to get it out of the Great Depression. The war led to an increase in patriotism and solidarity in the country. It also helped to some degree with moving the United States towards giving civil rights to African Americans. War can, of course, have much more negative impacts on a society. WWII, for example, pushed German society towards evil. The best example of this, of course, is how the war allowed Germans to participate in the Holocaust.
