Theory of cultural lag:

(Which was coined by William Ogburn in 1915)

The phenomenon whereby cultural elements, such as religious beliefs, change more slowly than structural elements, such as technological innovations. According to this theory, Social problems and conflicts are caused by this lag and Cultural Lag Theory suggests that a period of maladjustment occurs when the non-material culture is struggling to adapt to new material conditions

Theory of social change he offered in 1922
