The world has experienced a change in many forms, and each century is different from the other. Social change is one of the tangible differences. It can be defined as moving forward by a society and through technology, religion, culture economy, and scientific forces. Different philosophers such as Emile Durkheim, Karl Marx, and Max Weber came up with different views to elaborate and define what propagates the social change. Durkheim states that societies are built on social facts. Karl Marx shows that social change is tied to capitalism, which shows the struggle between factors of production, division of labor, and class struggles. Max Weber, on the other hand, views the industrial revolution as the main factor that brings change.

The contradiction between the three philosophers is that social change is tied to either economy, industrial revolution, or social facts. Hence none of them is synchrony with the other on the fundamental that mainly contributes to social change. According to the economy, Karl views it as a capitalistic one responsible for overwhelming poverty (Marx and Engels,1967). The capitalist class and the bourgeoisie control production while the proletariat sells their labor under exploitation and oppression. On the other hand, social facts focus on the patterned ways of acting, thinking, and feeling, and they exert social control on each person. Industrialization, which is by Weber, is the society being dependent on agriculture and handmade products to promote manufacturing.

Also, Karl Max focuses on historical materialism to define society through economy and class, which Weber counteracts by using groups and technological advancement. Durkheim views social change as a society under mutual relations and dependencies. Nonetheless, Durkheim, Marx, and Weber show that human history, culture, economy, and politics are all interconnected to the behavior of a society. Their work help to elaborate on social change and the dynamics around

However, the differences and similarities between their ideologies contribute to asking questions that seek to define how we live and who we are rather than the factors such as the politics and industries that contribute to our living.
