The family system, cultural patterns, religious system, and normative structure changes are a result of modernization. Social and cultural changes in societies are due to modern societies, as individuals adopt the principles of the modern world. A traditional society is based on agrarianism while modern society is organized by industrial functions. Traditional society has a unified and single system. Modern technology has affected the traditional setup of society. Priorities of people on traditions have changed.
