ABSTRACT
Change is found in every area of life. There is, for instance, developmental change in people as they age, status change, geographical change, and a multitude of other forms of change. Indeed, change is endemic to social living, and any form of stasis is a rarity, if not an impossible occurrence, since societies and people exist in time. Nevertheless, people habitualize their actions and often appear to treat their external world as if it were static and unchanging. Since there is an indissoluble link between people and their sociocultural milieu, change in either the people or their surroundings is bound to upset any apparent harmony that has been established between them. Hence, disjuncture between people’s biographies and their external sociocultural world is not an exception, but a rule.
