This process is occurring within Western culture as well as non-Western and indigenous cultures and cultures of the world. Forces which contribute to the cultural change described in this article include: colonization, globalization, advances in communication, transport and infrastructure improvements, and military expansion. == Theories of cultural change == Various scholars have proposed different theories of cultural change.

Press, 1998, ISBN 0-691-01157-5, p.55-56〕 * value conversion – the replacement of existing cultural values with new ones (ex. changing views of slavery as an acceptable practice to an abhorrent one)〔 * value creation – the development of new ideas to apply to new situations (ex. emergence of the environmental issues or concepts such as sexual harassment)〔 * value connection – the development of a conceptual link between phenomena previously thought unconnected or connected in a different way 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Transformation of culture」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
