Pengaruh Mitos Terhadap Cepat atau Lambatnya Suatu Perubahan Sosial di Dalam Masyarakat

Abstract

Over time, change is something that, consciously or unconsciously, will hit the fabric of society. The
social order includes patterns of behavior and social interaction. The driving factors for social
change can come from internal or external factors. One of these external factors is the existence of
myths that develop in the community. Myths are often used as a reference for people in living their
daily lives. So that not infrequently myths have an impact on the way people or individuals think,
behave, and act. Therefore, this article was compiled to find a correlation between the existence of
myths and the process of social change in society. The results found from this study are the fact that
myths have an influence on social change. However, the influence exerted varies depending on the
community group and the position of the myth.
