Culture is dynamic. How adaptive mechanism and cumulative, the culture change. Traces are lost, others are added in different rates in different societies.
Two basic mechanisms allow for cultural change: the invention or introduction of new concepts, and dissemination of concepts from other cultures. There is also the discovery, which is a kind of cultural change caused by the revelation of something unknown by the society and she decides to adopt.
The change usually leads to resistance. Since the aspects of cultural life are linked together, the minimum change of only one of them can cause effects at all. Changes in the way of produce, for example, can interfere in the choice of members to the government or the application of laws. Resistance to change is an advantage in that it only changes really useful, and are therefore inevitable, will be taken to avoid the effort of society to embrace and then reject a new concept.
