The prevalent idea of change emphasizes on the fact that societies need change and proper structures for their advancements. In fact, those grow through changes that present both opportunities and choices. The idea states that both exogenous and endogenous changesare important developmental aspects, indicating that societies would become meaningless without them. There is a relationship between societal changes and political themes in this reading. Polities are responsible for changes in societies. As such, social and political structures require changes to make them meaningful (Renfrew et al., 1986). The themes and ideas presented in the reading perfectly explain the roles and responsibilities of societies. Governing a community is impossible without effective political structures. Additionally, this reading acknowledges the importance of embracing changes, in spite of the numerous political and social challenges that changes bring. It also states the importance of adopting succinct socio-political structures.
