to discrimination among individuals as

Social Differences
Similarly, people with high status are afforded
with respect and importance compared to the
poor or homeless individuals.
Social differences, thus, can create societal
problems because of discrimination resulted
by inequality, inferiority complex and other
related problems.

and Taylor, 2007)
Social change may not only be regarded as a
process but also as a means, an end or even
as a social movement, a condition involving a
program, an ideology and a problem.
As long as there are evident differences from
the social and cultural components previously
upheld by the people in the society, change
exists.
