Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ogburn believed that material culture was the main source of change, including technology, infrastructure, and other physical items that shape the way people live and interact with each other. Nonmaterial culture (e.g. beliefs, values, norms) can also influence change, but Ogburn argued that it was secondary to material culture. Subculture and counterculture are both smaller groups within a larger culture that may resist or challenge mainstream values, but they are not necessarily sources of change on their own.
