It was found In every culture there are large proportion of people who resist changes in society. The proportion of conservatism in society may change according to many factors, and different societies in different times are tendencies into conservatism or liberalism. The level of openness to change or rejection of change may have different proportion and magnitude of inclination, in different cultures. Yet even in societies that are thought to be connected tomore liberal, conservatism, is strong and influential.
