ORDER OF SOCIETY
1) DEMOGRAPHIC CHANGES
2) TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES
3) CHANGES IN VALUES
4) NATIONAL EMERGENCY
1) DEMOGRAPHIC
CHANGES
Change relating to birth and death
rates, trends in immigration,
education and employment.
Ex: pay equity for women, shift from
rural to urban in 1st half of 20th
Century lead to improvements in
working conditions for factories,
Medicare (Medical Care Act in
1966-Tommy Douglas)
2) TECHNOLOGICAL
CHANGES
Formulated in the Magna Carta (list of legal rights that the English
barons forced King John to sign in 1215)
Says laws are necessary to keep society orderly
Applies equally to everyone, including highest officials
Every person has legal rights which can’t be taken away, unless they
break the law
Changes must occur in an orderly fashion and in a way that reflects
the decisions of a democratically elected government.
