Social change refers to the transformation of culture, behavior, social institutions, and social structure over time. We are familiar from Modernization. Modernization refers to the process and impact of becoming more modern.
A dependent, or subordinate, clause contains a subject and a verb or verb phrase but does not express a complete thought. As a result, it cannot stand alone as a sentence. Dependent clauses can function either as noun clauses, adjective clauses, or adverb clauses. An adjective clause is a dependent clause that, like an adjective, modifies a noun or pronoun. Adjective clauses begin with words such as that, when, where, who, whom, whose, which, and why.
(with Examples) A noun clause is a clause that plays the role of a noun. For example (noun clauses shaded): I like what I see. I know that the tide is turning. I've met the man who won the lottery.
