Go through this link and get relevant material. It's helpful in other topics as well.

first define the term "social change" in detail with the help of some authentic and comprehensive definitions and then write about the theories of social change in detail. the question is all about theories. in 2009, i personally attempted ur first mentioned question in this way.

Social Change
How is the world today different from that of your childhood? As you think back over your biography, you probably remember historical events as small, personal experiences. I was a baby when the first atomic bomb exploded; my own baby watched television as men walked on the moon. As a child I was impressed when my relatives replaced their farm horses with a tractor. I knew nothing about the transformation of American agriculture, but did miss the animals. As we grow older, we learn to place the things that happen to us in a broader context. We also learn to act in order to bring about changes we believe are desirable. By the time I heard Martin Luther King speaking on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, I was already a participant in the Civil Rights Movement.

But to understand social change we need more than a sense of history as it happens to us. We need a conceptual framework in which to organize our experience. We also need theory to explain why change occurs and to give us some ability to predict our future. It is only by anticipating the future that we can make choices about social change.

Stability is important in all cultures, even in one that values progress and growth as much as does America. Models of society are usually relatively stable systems, with institutional structures that function to preserve order and maintain the pattern of culture. But in social theory, stability is not the same as no change at all. Instead, it refers to slow changes during which the important processes and structures of society are preserved. Even the most traditional societies of the past did change over time; the changes, however, were very slow compared to contemporary experiences.

Models of society with a tendency to "grow" and evolve have been popular since the 19th century. The systems on which they are based are found in biology, and are examples of dynamic stability. Feedback mechanisms to restore system equilibrium following disruptions or changes are common features of these models. They imply a belief that societies have a "natural" tendency to preserve themselves.
