“Social change is the change in the human relationship”: who said this?

Think it through first, then pick an option.

  1. a August Comte
  2. b MacIver
  3. c Aristotle
  4. d Kingsley Davis
Answer and explanation

Correct answer: b MacIver

The book says MacIver defined social change as the change in the human relationship.

Why the other options are wrong

  • a August Comte: August Comte is not named in this chapter; "human relationship" is MacIver's phrase.
  • c Aristotle: Aristotle is not named in this chapter; the quote is MacIver's.
  • d Kingsley Davis: Kingsley Davis's quote speaks of "change within social organisation"; "human relationship" is MacIver's.
