Cultural Changes

Introduction

During the 20th and 21st century, many cultural changes took place that also caused the lifestyle of people to change from a lower standard of living to a higher level of standard of living.

This was the period where it was seen that America is reaching its new phase, which is the period of post-industrial restructuring.

Behaviourism, simplified, is the theory that a person is the product of their environment, and to change a person's behaviour, one needs to simply adjust their environment. More specifically, the term behaviourism was coined by John Watson which he defined as a “theoretical perspective in which learning and behaviour are described and explained in terms of stimulus-response relationships” (Hauser, 2005).
