Most people follow traditions, rules, and established patterns of behavior without reflecting on their meaning or questioning their validity. This is a fundamental characteristic of society, which can be both an advantage and a limitation. Such patterns provide stability and continuity, but they can also preserve outdated practices and beliefs that hinder social progress. Because these patterns are deeply ingrained and widely accepted, changing or abandoning them is difficult. As a result, social change is often slow and resistant to transformation.
