The purpose in writing this paper has been to accomplish three objectives;
1) to answer the question, what is T. Parsons' fundamental way of thinking of social change?
2) to describe the major aspects of the T. Parsons' theoretical perspective and
3) to present and examine his theory.
In line with these objectives, this paper is organized into three sections.
In chapterⅠ, I have stated the scope and range to analyze T. Parsons' works.
Chapter Ⅱ describes and analyzes what I conceive to be the most important theoretical perspective of Social Change theory in T. Parsons' works as follows;
1. Social Change and Social System
2. Social Change and Institutional Change
3. Social Change and Structural & Value System Change
4. Social Change and Evolutionary Change
In chapter Ⅲ, I have incorporated a comprehensive understanding of Parsons'
theoretical perspective of social change.
